How to Afford Braces

If you are in need of orthodontic treatment with braces, you may be wondering how you are going to afford them. Although you may or may not be able to find cheap braces in Los Angeles, there are a few different methods that are available to help you pay for them either way.

If you have dental insurance that has orthodontic benefits, your insurance company may cover part of the expense. You will want to contact them to be absolutely sure about what they will or will not cover. If you do not have insurance or if your insurance only partly covers your treatment, most dentists and orthodontists offer flexible financing options that can help you with your payment. If you have a flexible spending account or a health savings account, you can apply those funds to your orthodontic treatment. Another option that may be available to you is receiving your treatment through a dental or orthodontic school located at a local university. Those in training at the school will be supervised by experienced orthodontists.
