What Will My Treatment Cost?
With a range of easy payment options and potential insurance coverage, you will be delighted to realize that your perfect smile is within reach. Our dedication to excellence means treatment is faster, reducing overall costs. Many of our options reduce the need for repeat adjustment visits, so there’s less time in the treatment chair and more time spent enjoying that smile.
There is a large range of factors that will affect how much your treatment will cost such as:
- The complexity of your case
- The length of your treatment
- Your insurance coverage
- Compliance (how diligent you are in wearing your aligners)
We believe nothing should stand between you and the smile of your dreams – financial hurdles least of all. That’s why we’re proud to offer a number of financial options to make treatment affordable. FSA and HSA accounts may be eligible for treatment.

Financing Made Easy
The overall cost of your treatment plan is dependent on a range of factors. We offer convenient automatic deductions for your monthly payments.
Our friendly Treatment Coordinator will go through these flexible, value-added payment plans. The team can also help you determine what portion of your insurance is available for your orthodontic treatment. We will even file your insurance paperwork for you, making the entire process streamlined and simple.
In addition to insurance, we’re proud to offer a variety of payment options to make even out-of-pocket treatment costs more affordable. We offer in-house, no-interest financing plans, full payment with a courtesy discount, and automatic credit card payments in addition to accepting insurance, making it easy for anyone to afford treatment.





Overall A+ experience! I’m so glad I reached out to Dr. Stormberg and team for a second opinion and ultimately ended up deciding to agree to treatment with them. After visiting a different Orthodontist I didn’t feel comfortable with the quote I received nor the work they were telling me my son needed because his issue was more moderate in that he only needed to shift his bite.
I'm absolutely blown away by the service Dr. Stormberg and his staff provided me over the last 2 years! I just got my braces off today and I'm beyond happy with the results! The staff was extremely efficient and seamless with all the appointments during my treatment. The office is clean and very spacious and even has a view of the park. The price was very reasonable considering the high level of service and time it took to complete my treatment. I highly recommend Stormberg Orthodontics!
