Ask The Orthodontist

Parents frequently ask about "The cost of
orthodontics."

Parents' fear of prohibitive or unaffordable costs of
orthodontics may be speculative at best. Many caring
orthodontists are able to keep costs down, allow you
to pay over the course of treatment, maintain the
highest of quality, and give your family the personal
care they deserve. Parents should feel comfortable to
ask if the fees are within reasonable and customary
levels, and what they include. High initial

payments (in my office for example) have virtually

been eliminated.
While the cost of treating teeth with a full mouth of braces may seem high
at first, an examination of the benefits derived from this investment shows it
to be quite worthwhile. When orthodontic treatment is compared to
similarly priced consumer products, its value can be seen in its potential to
bring long-lasting improvements to the health and self-esteem of the
patient. In fact, orthodontics treatment may be seen as a bargain when one
figures in the expertise of the orthodontist, the work of auxiliary personnel,
the number of visits required, and the good it ultimately does for the
patient. What price can we put on good comfortable chewing function, the
ability to enjoy eating, and inviting smile and the high self-esteem that
comes with it?
Everyone wants a beautiful smile and everyone deserves to have a healthy
one. The orthodontist's goal is to achieve both for the patient. The
importance of an attractive smile should not be underestimated. The
satisfaction of seeing a child feel good about themselves is priceless.
You may call our office at 248-926-4100 for a complimentary consultation or
to suggest future topics for this biweekly column.
P.S. Perhaps the best rationale for evaluating the cost of orthodontic
treatment involves comparing it to the costs of non-treatment.
