Fitting Braces or Invisalign into Your Budget

When parents consider starting orthodontic treatment for their kids, one of the main concerns is the issue of payment. But investing in a healthy smile is more than worth it, especially when you consider how braces or Invisalign fix far more than just the appearance of your smile. Here are some simple ways fitting braces or Invisalign into your budget becomes easier.

Insurance for Braces or Invisalign

If you have a dental insurance plan, there’s a very good chance much of your treatment will be covered. Milnor Orthodontics is an in-network practice for all major insurance plans, so it’s easy to make your treatment more affordable. We even file your claims for you and have the payments processed by our office, which saves you time and stress.

FSA and HSA

You can use funds from both an FSA or HSA to help pay for braces or Invisalign as well. Both options give you some extra funds to use towards health expenses since they are taken from your paychecks pretax and any growth and distribution of your funds aren’t subject to tax. You can continue to roll over your funds with an HSA, so you can create a reserve of cash to use for health reasons at any time.

With an FSA, you must use it by the end of the year. And if you’re looking for a way to use your unused funds wisely, starting orthodontic treatment would be a great way to put those dollars to good use!

Early Orthodontics

If you’re curious about how you will make your orthodontic treatment for your kids more affordable in the future, the solution may be to start sooner than you think. Many kids can benefit from getting early orthodontic treatment, such as a palatal expander or Invisalign First.

While it would seem like getting two orthodontic treatments would cost more, it can end up saving money in the long run. By addressing issues early on, your child will be set up for a smoother treatment later in life. So rather than needing years of braces or possible extractions, they will likely need shorter treatment with braces or Invisalign. Not only will this cost less overall, but it will be a worthwhile investment to avoid severe dental health issues.
