Questions to ask before starting braces or clear aligners

Get a written treatment plan and compare what each quote includes. The lowest advertised monthly payment may not describe the total cost.

• Who will diagnose my case and supervise treatment? What specialty training does the doctor have?
• Which options are appropriate for my bite, and why? Ask about responsibilities for each option.
• How often are appointments needed, and at which office? How are broken appliances and urgent problems handled?
• What is the total fee, including records, appliances, follow-up visits and retainers? Are replacements charged separately?
• Does my insurance cover orthodontics for my age, and is there a lifetime benefit limit? Confirm benefits with the insurer.
• For financing, what are the deposit, term, interest rate and total payments?

Orthodontist or general dentist?

Orthodontists are dentists with additional specialty training in aligning teeth and jaws. A general dentist offering clear aligners is not necessarily an orthodontic specialist. This guide includes dedicated orthodontic offices and Haas Dental’s verified orthodontic department; visit our Londonderry dentist guide for general dental care.

When should children have their first orthodontic check?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a check-up by age 7. An assessment helps identify developing issues; ask whether treatment, observation or a later review is appropriate.

Are braces or clear aligners better?

There is no single best option for everyone. Ask the orthodontist to explain which choices fit your diagnosis and daily routine. Adults can also seek an orthodontic evaluation.
