Using Your Insurance

If your dental insurance includes orthodontic benefits, it may help reduce your out-of-pocket cost. We work with PPO insurance plans and are happy to help throughout the process. 

Our office will submit insurance claims on your behalf, accept direct payment from carriers when available, help you maximize your benefits, and finance any remaining balance in-house if needed. If your plan reimburses you directly, we provide all the documentation to make it easy. Not sure what your orthodontic benefits are? Call us at (760) 744-4444, and our team will help you find out.

What Is Included in Your Treatment Fee

Your orthodontic investment covers your complete course of care:

  • Comprehensive exam and all orthodontic records, including X-rays, study models, and growth analysis
  • Digital imaging and customized treatment planning
  • All scheduled adjustment and office visits during treatment
  • Your braces, appliances, or clear aligners
  • Routine orthodontic care and progress monitoring
  • A set of final retainers for comprehensive treatment patients

How Often Will I Have Appointments?

During active treatment, most patients are seen every four to six weeks so we can track progress and keep your smile on schedule. If you ever need to reschedule, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another family.

Start With a Complimentary Consultation

Your journey to a confident, healthy smile starts with a free consultation. We will review your smile, walk you through your treatment and Diamond+ Invisalign options, and give you a clear, no-surprises breakdown of cost and payment.
