If you live in a city, you could have many orthodontists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best orthodontist so you can get the most appropriate and affordable care.

What is an orthodontist and when should I see one?

Orthodontists are specialists who use braces, clear aligners, and other appliances to straighten teeth and correct bite problems in both children and adults. Without orthodontic intervention, people who need treatment may struggle with eating and properly cleaning their teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Orthodontic treatment can also boost self-esteem by improving the alignment and appearance of the teeth. If you’re interested in improving your smile, ask your dentist if you’re a good candidate for orthodontic treatment.

How does DenScore determine who the best orthodontists are?

DenScore rates orthodontists based on clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. While orthodontists may request inclusion in our directories, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed.Some of the orthodontists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose an orthodontist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Will dental insurance cover orthodontic treatment?

Some dental insurance plans cover orthodontic treatment, but coverage is often limited to children and usually includes a lifetime maximum that only partially covers the cost of care. However, children who qualify for Medicaid may have more comprehensive orthodontic coverage depending on the state they live in. To find the best dental insurance plan in your state for orthodontic treatment, use our free online dental tool today.

How do I find the most affordable orthodontic care?

Orthodontic treatment in the United States typically starts at $5,000, but some dental insurance plans cover up to $2,000, making care more affordable. Costs can vary widely, so we recommend contacting multiple offices to compare prices. Another way to save on orthodontic care is by visiting a dental school. While appointments may take longer and care is provided by student dentists under supervision, the cost is often significantly lower than what private practice orthodontists or dentists charge for similar services.

What else do I need to know about orthodontic treatment?

Depending on the severity of their condition, patients may have the option of undergoing orthodontic treatment either in-office or at home. While some general dentists provide orthodontic services, it’s often beneficial to see an orthodontist. Orthodontists receive advanced training and typically have more experience treating complex conditions compared to general dentists.
