I'm looking for affordable orthodontist in NYC
By 44HNYC on 22 Jul 2012
I am looking for a great and affordable orthodontist in Brooklyn or Manhattan. I found one place that offers a down payment for as low as $500 and you pay about $200 a month for about two years. I'm so accustom to hearing you can only pay half first, which I can't. So if anyone knows any orthodontist with a low payment plan like this with great ratings, or you have had personal experience, please let me know. I am interested in ceramic, or metal braces.Thanks.
Yes, as it sounds like you have found out each office is a little different in their payment options. There is a company called Care Credit that I have heard of people getting financing through for cosmetic treatments, so you could go through them possibly and probably get a slight discount for pre-paying for your entire treatment at the orthodontist's office.
Though this Q&A talks about surgeries, it still might have some useful info for you:
Do All Doctors Accept Care Credit?
If you end up finding some orthodontists that offer good payment options we would love to hear about it, as I'm sure you aren't the only one in that boat. :)
