Do Orthodontists Usually Offer Payment Plans for Braces?

Orthodontists most definitely offer payment plans. In fact, many prefer them. 

Many offices have both in-house financing and third party financing plans for patients to allow great treatment able to fit within any budget. 

Pretty much all orthodontic offices offer payment plans for braces.  The most common is in-office financing (usually with 0 per cent).  Usually a down payment is required, and then the patient is billed on a monthly basis.  Other options include paying the treatment fee in full (usually with a 5-10% discount), or using a third-party financing option such as CareCredit.

Yes, most offices do offer payment plans. The three most popular plans are: 1. In office financing - This is where you would pay the office monthly. Usually the office will offer zero interest (this would be something you would want to ask at the time of your consultation).2. Payment in full - If you are looking for an additional discount, this could be the best method of payment for you. Some offices can offer between 3% to 8% off your treatment plan.3. 3rd party financing - Some patients choose to go this route when they want to have lower monthly payments that are stretched out over a longer period of time. However, make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the plan before you commit or you could be paying a lot more in the long run.
