Frequently asked questions

How much will my insurance cover for individual treatments like tooth straightening or TMJ?

What if I have two dental insurance policies, or change insurance while in treatment?

Will there be a large down payment for aligner treatment?

Generally not, but there is a Pay-In-Full option for those who wish to take advantage of it.
