Cheap braces are not necessarily the goal when it comes to dental care, but orthodontic treatment does not need to break the bank. When it comes to covering the cost of your braces, you have several options. Dental insurance plans often cover the cost of braces as long as they are medically necessary. You may still be responsible for a copay or coinsurance. Flexible financing, monthly payments, and healthcare credit can also help you better afford the care you need.
Although the initial costs associated with orthodontics can be high, the long-term benefits will be worth it. In fact, braces can save you money over time. Crooked teeth can be hard to clean and will put abnormal pressure on your jaw. You might be more vulnerable to decay, periodontal disease, and TMJ, which can be expensive to treat and associated with serious consequences.
