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.
