How Estimated Total Cost Is Calculated

The Estimated Total Cost represents the final amount you need to pay for your orthodontic treatment after applying insurance and initial payments. The calculation starts with an industry average base cost, which is then adjusted by how difficult your teeth are to move and where you live.

Total Cost = (Base Cost × Complexity Multiplier × Location Factor) - Insurance Coverage - Down Payment

Where:

  • Base Cost = $5,000 (Average standard cost)
  • Complexity Multiplier = 1.0 (Simple), 1.3 (Moderate), 1.6 (Complex)
  • Location Factor = 0.9 (Rural), 1.0 (Suburban), 1.2 (Urban)

We multiply the base price by your specific complexity and location factors to find the gross cost. Finally, we reduce this amount by your insurance benefits and down payment to show the remaining balance. This method ensures your estimate reflects real-world market variations.

What Your Estimated Total Cost Means

This figure represents the actual cash amount you must pay through monthly installments or full payment. Understanding this number helps you choose the right payment plan and avoid financial stress during your treatment.

Budgeting for Treatment

If your total is under $4,500, you might comfortably manage payments over 12 months without high-interest financing. This range is typical for simple cases with good insurance coverage.

Planning for Complex Cases

A result over $7,000 suggests a severe case or urban location, so you should prioritize saving a larger down payment. This strategy lowers your monthly bills and makes long-term financing more manageable.

Comparing Providers

Use this total to compare quotes from different orthodontists. If a provider's price is significantly higher than your estimate, ask if it includes extra features like retainers or refinements.

Important Note

This estimate does not usually include the cost of retainers after treatment or potential refinement trays.
