We Make Braces Affordable

dentist

No two smiles need the same treatment, so braces pricing starts with a free consultation, in person at our Bensalem office or virtually from home. After reviewing your teeth and bite, we will walk you through your treatment plan and what it will cost, with no surprises.

Paying for braces should not stand between you and a healthy smile. We accept most dental insurance plans, verify your coverage, and file claims on your behalf. Qualifying patients can finance treatment through CareCredit®, with low-interest and interest-free plans available. We also offer our own in-house monthly plans.

What Braces Can Fix

Traditional metal braces handle a wide range of alignment and bite issues, from mild misalignment to complex corrections. 

Your Braces Treatment, Start to Finish

Consultation

We take digital impressions, photos, and X-rays at your free visit, using iTero digital scanners and 3D treatment planning, then map out a plan and timeline you can review before committing to anything.

Placement

Your orthodontist bonds the brackets to your teeth and threads the archwire that will guide them into place over the course of treatment.

Adjustments

Every four to eight weeks, you will stop by the office for an adjustment that keeps your teeth moving on schedule.

Retention

When your braces come off, a custom retainer holds your teeth in their new positions. Wear it nightly, as directed.

Bensalem Braces FAQ

How long will I need to wear braces?

Most patients wear braces for about 24 to 30 months, though mild cases finish sooner. Some adults qualify for fast-acting braces that straighten the front teeth in 16 to 18 months. You will get a personal timeline at your free consultation, before treatment starts.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

Skip anything sticky or hard: caramel, chewing gum, taffy, hard candy, and popcorn. Cut apples and corn into small pieces instead of biting into them whole. Protecting your brackets between visits keeps treatment on schedule.

How do I keep my teeth clean with braces?

Brush and floss after every meal to clear food from around your brackets. Many patients also use a water flosser to reach the spaces around wires and brackets. Ask us at any visit if you have questions about your routine.

Can I get Invisalign instead of braces?

Sometimes. Invisalign works well for mild to moderate alignment issues, while more severe or complex cases usually call for braces. Since we offer both at this office, your consultation is the fastest way to find out which one suits your teeth and your budget.
