Everything You Need to Know About
Orthodontic Savings Plan
Usually braces are recommended for improving a patient’s “orofacial” appearance. If orthodontic problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or under bites, incorrect jaw position, or disorder of the jaw joints are left untreated, it results in tooth decay, gum disease, headaches, earaches, as well as speaking, biting or chewing problems.
Braces are generally available in many types: metal, Gold, Lingual (behind the teeth), or Clear Aligners. However, a new alternative to braces is Clear Aligners, which are removable. How long you need to wear braces depends on your treatment plan, your age and the time of treatment. Cost to get your teeth straightened, or aligned, also depends on these determinants and often people end up finding insufficient information regarding cost involved in orthodontic treatments. As a result, either they give up the plan or incur heavy costs. Below you’ll find some useful information on the cost of orthodontic treatment plans without insurance cover, so that it becomes easy for you to plan your budget.

- Possible tooth extraction to remove teeth causing overcrowding
- Jaw surgeries for extremely severe cases
- Retainers to be worn after braces are removed (especially in the case of Clear Aligners)
