As parents, professionals, and busy humans, we know you want straight answers—and straight teeth! Whether you’re considering metal braces for your child or Invisalign for adults, let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense. 

Let’s Talk About the Cost of Braces

One of the most common questions we hear from new patients is, “How much does braces or orthodontic treatment cost?” The honest answer? The cost of braces varies depending on a few key factors:

• Type and complexity of treatment (phase 1, phase 2, limited, comprehensive)
• The length of your treatment 
• Insurance coverage

We want to give each person their best smile, and the cost often varies depending on their needs and wants. At Lincoln Orthodontics, Dr. Willett wants the process to be as transparent and easy as possible and that’s why we charge the same fee for all treatment processes. This means metal braces, ceramic or tooth-colored braces, and Invisalign all cost the same! We will educate you about the pros/cons for each treatment type so you can make an informed decision about how it will affect your day to day and how to get the results you’re looking for, resting easy that it doesn’t have to be decided based on cost.

Flexible monthly payment plans are also available, including no-interest financing and automatic monthly payments, so treatment can fit your budget. We will also review your dental insurance and verify your benefits as we plan your treatment. Orthodontic treatment is an investment in confidence, health, and long-term dental stability. Our team works hard to make it accessible! 

Invisalign for Adults 

We love to see adults invest in their own smiles! Invisalign for adults has completely changed the orthodontic landscape. There are no brackets or wires! Just clear aligners that fit seamlessly into your life. Here’s why adults love Invisalign:

• Nearly invisible trays
• Easily removable for eating and brushing
• Comfortable, smooth aligners 
• Ideal for busy professionals and parents
• Adaptable for travel or busy schedules
• Less-frequent appointments
• No “emergency” appointments

With proper planning, Invisalign helps teeth move, and it works for any age. Set up your personalized consultation to get started!

Is Invisalign More Expensive than Braces?

Short answer: No! The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your case and how long it will take, but costs the same as braces.

The good news? Our team handles insurance verification for you. We will:

• Review your benefits
• Explain what’s covered
• File claims on your behalf
• Help maximize your orthodontic insurance

We believe finances shouldn’t be confusing or stressful, so give us a call if you have any questions.

Why Straight Teeth Matter 

While everyone loves the confidence boost of a straight smile, orthodontic treatment also improves:

• Bite alignment
• Jaw function
• Long-term dental stability
• Prevention of uneven wear and future dental issues
• Systemic effects like increased airway volume and better mastication

Straight teeth aren’t just about appearance. They’re about health too!
