The Financial Investment of Orthodontic Treatment: Breaking Down the Costs

Orthodontic treatment is more than just a pathway to a beautiful smile, it’s a lifelong investment in your oral health and confidence! When considering orthodontic treatment, the initial cost can seem significant. However, it is important to view this as a comprehensive investment that not only improves the alignment of your teeth but also your bite, jaw function, and overall dental health. 

Here at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics, we take great pride in offering our patients the absolute best quality orthodontic care in Eastern North Carolina. All of our orthodontists are certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. This is a special distinction that is only achieved by a small fraction of members of our profession. This adds tremendous value to our patients. You can have peace of mind knowing you are being treated by the best and brightest.

Your orthodontic journey will begin with a complimentary orthodontic consultation. This can be thought of as an initial exam where one of our board-certified orthodontists will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your bite, jaw function, and treatment needs. The next step after the initial consultation is to take detailed orthodontic records (photos, x-rays, 3D scans) to gather the information needed to properly diagnose your case. 

The next step in the process is the most crucial, yet overlooked, part of the entire process. Our board-certified orthodontists sit down and personally review and create a customized treatment plan for every case. Our expert orthodontists have over 150 years of combined experience ensuring you receive the best quality treatment anywhere in the world! This comprehensive process is a major thing that separates orthodontic care at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics from a general dentist. General dentists do not receive any formal specialty training in orthodontics, typically do not take comprehensive orthodontic records, and are less likely to have the experience needed to provide the best quality care.

As you can see, it is both the finished orthodontic result and the rigorous treatment planning process that provide value to your orthodontic treatment. Many patients ask, “How much do braces cost?” This is much more than a number and collection of brackets and wires. You are receiving care from a team of board-certified orthodontists that each have received over 10 years of training, you are receiving a treatment plan that is 100% customized to fit your specific needs, and you are receiving a smile that will last a lifetime. When you consider the lifelong benefits of a healthier, more confident smile, the financial commitment becomes a smart, valuable choice. We would love to earn your business.
