First Visit
Your First Visit to Southern Orthodontic Specialists
Insurance & Payment Options
At Southern Orthodontic Specialists, we want to make your orthodontic journey as smooth and affordable as possible. If your insurance plan includes orthodontic coverage, it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Many insurance policies offer a lifetime orthodontic benefit, which is often separate from your regular dental coverage.
Because every insurance plan is different, our knowledgeable team will thoroughly review your specific policy to provide an accurate estimate of your coverage. Once your treatment begins, we’ll handle all the paperwork and file claims on your behalf, so you can focus on what matters most—your smile.
Flexible Payment Options
Flexible Payment Options
At Southern Orthodontic Specialists, we believe that quality orthodontic care should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of flexible payment options to suit your financial needs:
-
Cash Discount: For patients who prefer to pay their entire balance upfront, we offer a cash discount. This option allows you to save on the total cost of treatment by paying in full at the beginning of your orthodontic journey.
-
In-House Payment Plan: Our in-house payment plan provides a convenient and budget-friendly way to manage your treatment costs. This plan requires a 20% initial payment, followed by affordable, interest-free monthly payments. We partner with Orthobanc to offer automatic debits from your checking account or credit card at no additional cost, ensuring your payments are simple and hassle-free.
-
CareCredit Financing: For patients who need more time to pay, CareCredit offers extended financing options with no down payment required for those who qualify. This plan allows you to spread your payments over a longer period, making it easier to manage your budget while receiving the care you need.
