Let’s talk money, because almost everyone who walks into our office is wondering about it. The honest answer: your cost depends on your smile. The good news: at Blue Ridge Orthodontics, finding out your exact price is free, and paying for treatment is more flexible than most people expect.
Here’s everything that shapes your investment and every way we help make it work.
Your First Visit Is Free
Every new patient consultation at BRO is complimentary. We take photos and X-rays (if needed), and one of our orthodontists walks you through your options. You leave with a clear treatment plan and exact pricing. No referral required, and no pressure. Book your free consultation online or call our Asheville office at 828.687.0872.
What Affects the Cost of Orthodontic Treatment?
Complexity of Your Bite
Mild crowding takes less time and fewer adjustments than a deep overbite or crossbite. More complex correction means more work, and a higher cost.
Length of Treatment
Treatment time is one of the biggest cost drivers. Most comprehensive cases run 12 to 24 months.
If you need work from an oral surgeon or your general dentist, such as wisdom teeth removal, that factors into your total.
Invisalign Costs the Same as Braces at BRO
At many practices, Invisalign costs more than braces. Not here. We charge the same price for both, so you can choose the treatment that fits your life instead of the one that fits your wallet. As a Diamond+ Invisalign provider in the top 1% nationwide, we can often treat cases other offices turn away.
Do Kids and Adults Pay Different Prices?
Price depends on the treatment, not your age. That said, children sometimes need two phases of treatment, which are billed separately. Early evaluation often saves money in the long run by catching problems while they’re easier to fix. That’s why we recommend a first visit by age seven. Follow-up observation visits until your child is ready for treatment cost nothing. Learn more about pediatric orthodontics and adult orthodontics.
Does Insurance Cover Braces or Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits, and if yours covers braces, it usually covers Invisalign too. We work with most private dental insurance providers and verify your benefits before or during your first visit. If your employer already pays for those benefits, let’s put them to work.
