What to compare in a written quote
A smaller monthly payment tells only part of the story. Put these three parts of each written quote side by side.
01The treatment
Two quotes may cover different appliances or different amounts of treatment.
Ask for in writingThe recommended plan and expected timing.
02Included care
At SC Orthodontics, the fee includes visits, adjustments, orthodontic emergency visits, necessary X-rays and digital scans, and initial retainers.
Ask for in writingWhat the full fee includes, so you can compare the same scope of care.
03Separate charges
Replacement retainers or care from another dental specialist may be separate.
Ask for in writingAnything outside the quoted fee, and when it might apply.
03How payments work
How monthly payments
are calculated
SC Orthodontics offers in-house financing at 0% interest, with plans starting at $125 per month. Your payment depends on the total fee, down payment, and plan length. The starting amount is not a quote for every case.
A braces payment example
SC Orthodontics standard-case illustration · Before insurance or offers · 0% interest
Divide the $4,000 balance
by 32 monthly payments
$125per month
The same illustration for a $6,000 Invisalign fee: ($6,000 − $500) ÷ 32 = $171.875, or about $172 per month. Both are examples before insurance or offers, not your payment terms.

Dental insurance may help when your plan includes orthodontic benefits. The contribution depends on your specific coverage and remaining benefits.

Keep it separate
See the treatment fee and estimated insurance contribution as separate numbers.

Check the benefit
An estimate is not a guarantee of the insurer’s final payment. Our insurance guide lists questions to check.
