Affordable Orthodontics and Easy Financing in Houston, TX
At Greater Houston Orthodontics, Dr. Amir Davoody, Dr. Rana Mehr, and Dr. Panagiotis Kyteas believe every patient deserves a healthy, confident smile without the stress of financial uncertainty. That is why we offer flexible financing and transparent pricing, so high-quality braces and Invisalign are genuinely within reach for families across Houston.
Affordable Braces and Invisalign
Whether you are exploring treatment for your child, your teen, or yourself, affordability should never be the barrier to a beautiful smile. We are proud to offer:
- 0% interest in-house financing with a low down payment and convenient monthly payments
- Multi-family discounts when more than one member of your household is in treatment
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees and no surprise costs
We will work closely with you to build a customized financial plan that fits your family’s budget, so you can focus on your smile rather than the bill.
Convenient, Flexible Payment Options
Life is busy, so we make paying simple. We offer automatic monthly drafts from a checking account or credit card, and we accept all major credit cards. For patients who would like longer terms than our in-house plans, third-party healthcare financing options such as Cherry or CareCredit can also be arranged. Whatever you choose, automatic payments keep you on track and make managing treatment effortless.
How Insurance Works
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that help cover a portion of braces or Invisalign, and benefits are often available for children, with some plans covering adults as well. We accept most PPO insurance plans, verify your benefits, and, where possible, accept assignment of benefits and bill your provider directly to reduce your out-of-pocket cost. If we cannot accept assignment for your specific plan, we will still file claims on your behalf so you can be reimbursed. Coverage varies, so our team will review your specific policy and explain clearly what your insurance is likely to contribute.
Using HSA and FSA Funds
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can typically be used to pay for orthodontic treatment, including braces and Invisalign. Because these accounts use pre-tax dollars, they can meaningfully lower the real cost of treatment. If you have an HSA or FSA, let us know and we will help you make the most of it.
What Your Treatment Fee Includes
We believe in all-inclusive, no-surprises pricing. Your treatment fee covers the essentials of a smooth orthodontic journey:
- Complete diagnostic records, including x-rays and photos
- All of the orthodontic appliances needed for your treatment
- Regular office visits and adjustments, including emergency appointments if needed
- One set of retainers after active treatment is complete
- Follow-up retention visits for up to two years to help you protect your new smile
We use advanced technology and personalized planning to make sure every part of your care meets a high standard, without hidden fees.
What to Expect When We Review Your Costs
During your complimentary first visit, our team takes the time to:
- Explain the full cost of your recommended treatment plan
- Review the financing and payment options available to you
- Go over any insurance benefits that may apply to reduce your out-of-pocket expense
Our goal is to make your experience comfortable and affordable from start to finish. Whether you are considering traditional braces or Invisalign, we will guide you through every step and help you find a payment schedule that works for your life.
No Surprises: Pricing You Can Plan Around
One of the most stressful parts of any health decision is not knowing what it will cost. We work hard to remove that worry. Before treatment begins, you receive a clear, written estimate that spells out the total fee, what your insurance is expected to cover, your down payment, and your monthly amount, so there are no guessing games. The essentials of your care, including diagnostic records, all appliances, every in-office visit and adjustment, and your first set of retainers, are built into the quoted fee rather than billed piece by piece. The only items outside that fee are things like general dental work done elsewhere or care for an unrelated injury, and we always explain those clearly. If anything unexpected comes up during treatment, we talk it through with you before moving forward. The goal is simple: you should always know exactly where you stand financially, so you can focus on the result rather than the statement. For families with more than one child in treatment, our multi-family discount makes that predictability even easier to plan around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about your first visit to Greater Houston Orthodontics. Reach out anytime if you don’t see yours.
Can I pay for braces monthly instead of all at once?
Yes. Most patients choose a monthly payment plan that spreads the cost of treatment over time. Our in-house plans are 0% interest with a low down payment, so you can manage treatment comfortably without paying everything upfront.
Does dental insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many plans include orthodontic benefits that cover part of braces or Invisalign. Coverage varies by plan, and benefits are often available for children and sometimes adults. We will review your policy and explain what your insurance may contribute.
Are orthodontic consultations really free?
Yes. Your initial consultation is complimentary, so you can meet the doctor, receive an exam, and discuss your options before making any decision.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds for braces or Invisalign?
Yes. Both HSA and FSA funds can typically be applied to orthodontic care, using pre-tax dollars to help reduce your overall cost.
Is Invisalign more expensive than braces?
Often the cost is similar, depending on the complexity of your case. Invisalign may cost slightly more in some situations, but many patients find the comfort and convenience worthwhile. We will give you exact figures at your consultation.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
No problem at all. Many of our patients pay without insurance using our 0% interest in-house plans, and we will build a monthly schedule that fits your budget, with or without coverage.
Will my monthly payment change during treatment?
No. Once your plan is set, your monthly amount stays predictable for the length of the agreement, so there are no surprises from month to month. Your total fee is set up front, so it does not balloon if treatment takes a little longer.
Do you offer a discount for paying in full?
In some cases, yes. Ask our treatment coordinator about paid-in-full options, along with the multi-family discount, when you review your estimate.
Can financing be used for any type of treatment?
Yes. Our payment options apply across braces, Invisalign, and the other treatments we provide, so cost should not dictate which option is right for you. We will recommend what is best for your smile first, then build a payment plan that makes it work.
