Orthodontist – Huntington, NY

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Orthodontic Work Done?

Firstly, you’ll need to define certain things that are important to you when undergoing orthodontic care. This can include things like location, hours, credentials, insurance/payment and fees, cleanliness, and safety. You’ll also want to know exactly what kind of treatment you’re interested in, such as if you want to straighten your smile with metal braces or clear aligners. Some practices might not offer certain options. Lastly, you should try getting a feel for the orthodontic team to see how they interact with their patients. At Huntington Orthodontics, we prize focusing on each patient so that we can personalize their treatments for the best possible results. You can also read our doctor and team bios on our website to learn a little more about each member.

How Do I Get Emergency Orthodontic Care?

Of course, the first thing you’ll need to do is notify our team about your situation by calling our practice so that someone can schedule you for the earliest appointment. If your situation is more dire or life-threatening, then you’ll want to call 911 instead and head straight to the closest emergency room. While the hospital might not be able to treat specific orthodontic cases, they can at least provide antibiotics and stabilize your condition until you can get the orthodontic care you need. Our office does offer same-day emergency appointments as well as evening hours so that you have the best chance of getting the treatment you need at a moment’s notice. Remember, most orthodontic emergencies can be indications of a bigger problem, so it’s important to go to your follow-up visits often so that you can save yourself money, time, and trouble.

How Much Should Orthodontics Cost?

In the majority of areas throughout the United States, the average price of orthodontic treatment can range from $3,000 to $7,000. That said, various factors can influence how much you would end up paying for your specific process. For example, no two smiles will be the same, so your treatment will be tailored to your unique needs. The type of braces that you receive can also affect the overall cost, especially when it comes to the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners. Our team will be sure to discuss your options thoroughly so that there aren’t any surprises when it comes to the price of your orthodontic care.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford an Orthodontist?

Many dental insurance companies provide at least partial coverage for various orthodontic services, especially if your bite misalignment is significantly impacting your oral health. However, if you aren’t currently insured, our practice is happy to offer special promotions that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses, such as our $250 off Invisalign deal (when you accept same-day treatment). You can also consider signing up for our flexible financing plans so that you can pay for your orthodontic care over a certain amount of time along with zero interest involved!
