Let’s walk through the orthodontic treatments available to you and how affordability doesn’t mean sacrificing quality.
Comparing the Cost: Metal Braces, Clear Braces, & Clear Aligners
At Master Orthodontics, we offer multiple treatment options that vary in price but share one important trait: value. Here’s how each stacks up:
- Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces remain the most budget-friendly option for many families. They’re durable, efficient, and effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues. With a lower initial cost and predictable results, metal braces continue to be a popular choice among our Bremerton and Port Orchard patients.
- Clear Braces: Clear braces offer a less noticeable way to straighten your teeth while still using the mechanics of traditional braces. They tend to be slightly more expensive than metal braces due to the materials used, but many find the added aesthetics worth the modest increase in cost.
- Clear Aligners: Clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable alternative to braces, often chosen by teens and adults. While they can be on the higher end of the cost spectrum, flexible financing and insurance coverage make it surprisingly accessible. Plus, fewer office visits may reduce long-term costs.
No matter your choice, our team will walk you through the pros, cons, and pricing so you can feel confident about your decision.
Debunking 6 Common Myths About Orthodontic Affordability
Let’s clear up some of the most common misconceptions about paying for orthodontic treatment. Spoiler: Getting braces might be easier and more affordable than you think.
Myth #1: Orthodontics Are Only for the Wealthy
Think again! At Master Orthodontics, we work with patients from all financial backgrounds. With insurance coverage, interest-free payment plans, and Medicaid/Apple Health acceptance, orthodontics is accessible to more people than ever.
Myth #2: Insurance Rarely Covers Braces
Many insurance plans do include orthodontic benefits, especially for children. We accept a wide range of providers and will help you understand and maximize your coverage.
Myth #3: Lower Cost Means Lower Quality
Not at Master Orthodontics. We use advanced technology, offer customized treatment plans, and maintain the highest standard of care, regardless of your payment method.
Myth #4: Payment is Due All at Once
This is one of the most persistent myths out there. Most of our patients use monthly payment plans or third-party financing like CareCredit. Upfront full payment is optional, not required.
Myth #5: Clear Aligners Are Too Expensive
Clear aligners have become more competitively priced in recent years. Thanks to financing and insurance coverage, it’s an option for more patients than ever.
Myth #6: Only Children Qualify for Discounts or Coverage
Adults deserve healthy smiles, too! Many of our adult patients take advantage of the same affordable orthodontic treatments and flexible payment options available to kids.
Financing and Payment Plans Are the Norm
Worried about how to afford braces or clear aligners? You’re in good company. The majority of our patients use some form of payment plan.
At Master Orthodontics, we make this easy with 0% interest in-house financing, third-party options like CareCredit, and acceptance of nearly all major insurance providers, including Medicaid and Apple Health. Whether you want to use a credit card, HSA, or bank draft, we help you build a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Our practice believes that cost should never stand between you and a healthier smile. We also want to remind you that corporate offices are often cash-grab attempts. If they aren’t willing to break down the cost in a comprehensive way, that’s a red flag.
