Orthodontic payment plans let you split the cost of braces or Invisalign into predictable monthly amounts, so a healthy smile never has to wait for one big check. At TG Orthodontics, those plans are interest-free and shaped around your family's budget.

Why do orthodontic payment plans matter for families?
Orthodontic care often lands at an expensive stage of family life. Paying a large sum at once can push treatment back by months, even when timing matters for a growing child.
A monthly plan changes that math, so you can start when it's clinically right. You can compare every option on our orthodontic treatments page before you visit.
- ✓Predictable monthly amounts that fit a household budget
- ✓No interest added to your balance
- ✓Treatment that starts on schedule instead of after months of saving
- ✓Room for insurance, HSA or FSA funds to lower what you owe
How much do braces cost?
It's the first question most parents ask, and the honest answer is that it depends on the case. A few factors shape your total:
- ComplexityMild spacing usually takes less work than a deep bite or crossbite.
- LengthLonger treatment generally means a higher total.
- ApplianceLightForce ceramic braces and Invisalign are priced differently.
- PhasesSome kids benefit from early Phase 1 care before full treatment.
Because every smile is different, a number you find online rarely matches what you'll actually pay. Your exact quote comes at the free consultation, after Dr. Tara Gostovich has examined the teeth and bite.
How does orthodontic financing work at TG Orthodontics?
Our approach to orthodontic financing is simple: interest-free monthly installments and a clear total before anything begins. Here's how it usually unfolds:
- 1
Consult: a full exam and a 3D iTero scan at no charge. - 2
Quote: the total cost of your recommended treatment. - 3
Insurance: our team checks your orthodontic benefits and applies them. - 4
Plan: a monthly amount that works for you, with no interest.

Braces payment plans vs. Invisalign payment plans
Both work the same way. Braces payment plans spread the cost of LightForce braces, with their custom 3D-printed ceramic brackets, across your treatment time.
Invisalign payment plans do the same for clear aligners, whether that means Invisalign First for a younger child, Invisalign Teen or aligners for you. The monthly figure depends on your total and how much you put down.
Can insurance and orthodontic payment plans work together?
Yes, and they usually should. If your dental plan includes orthodontic benefits, our team coordinates with your insurer and applies that coverage first.
Orthodontic payment plans then cover what's left, so your monthly amount reflects your real out-of-pocket cost. Many families also put HSA or FSA dollars toward the down payment.

- ✓What is the full total, including the down payment?
- ✓Is insurance applied before the monthly amount is set?
- ✓What happens if your coverage changes mid-treatment?
