What is the Cost of Phase 1 Treatment for Children?
Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment for Kids is now more flexible than ever. We offer both traditional, proven methods using Braces and Appliances—such as the Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE)—and the modern Invisalign First system, including the Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE).
Depending on the method that best fits your child's needs, costs typically range from $2,000 to $4,500+. We prioritize affordability with low monthly payment options tailored to your financial situation—no pressure, no surprises.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment is well-suited for various orthodontic problems such as Severe Crowding, Crossbites, Overbites, Underbites, & Jaw discrepancies.
On average, dental insurance covers the lesser of approximately $1,500 or 50% of the treatment cost. Your specific plan may cover more or less. You can also use an FSA or HSA account to help pay for the part that insurance does not cover.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. By this age, most children have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, allowing orthodontists to detect and address issues early.
Orthodontics is a lifelong investment in health, confidence, and appearance. Choose quality over quick savings.

Smiles That Speak for Themselves
Hear From Our Happy Patients!
Dr. Assefnia is a top-notch clinical orthodontist with a big heart and superb service! Unlike him, most dentists act like businessmen. Their contract is simple and straightforward without any high-pressured sales pitch or intention to deceive or to pressure you to sign. Their office is so clean that you could literally eat off the floor. Definitely consider getting a consult here especially with free parking. He truly cares about his patients. He takes into account of all the important clinical information about his patients when creating their treatment plan. I had taken my sons to get many consults, and he was the only orthodontist who took notice of and inquired about my son’s epilepsy that I had noted on the new patient intake form.
As a general dentist and a mom when my 8 years old son needed braces, I trusted Dr Amir with his care. My son went thru phase one with Dr Amir. Every visit was fun and my son looked forward in seeing him. Dr Amir is very kind and has a great sense of humor . We had a fantastic experience and Results were excellent! He is forever my family orthodontist!
So glad I stumbled upon Super Orthodontics Dr. Amir is truly one of the best orthodontists!! He’s very kind, caring and pays great attention to detail.10/10 would recommend.
Dr Amir Assefnia is the best orthodontist! I would’ve started my braces way earlier if I came across him sooner! Super happy with my results 😁. Highly recommend!
Best orthodontist! Great “bedside manner” Dr. Amir explains everything very well and gives us time to ask questions. Dr Amir treated both my kids and myself on our braces journey, and he made it pleasant and comfortable as can be. Thank you, Dr. Amir, for giving us a great smile! I would highly recommend Dr. Amir.
Dr. Amir is the BEST orthodontist, he straightened my teeth and gave me such an amazing smile! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a good orthodontist!
