Insurance Policy
If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs.

We participate with many insurance plans, and we would be happy to contact your insurance company to determine your benefits.
We are a preferred provider for Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, DenteMax, Fidelio, Guardian, MetLife, United Concordia, and United Healthcare.
Once treatment has started, we will file your claims. To help us with your insurance filing, please complete the insurance questions on our questionnaire. Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.
