Most parents put off braces for one reason. Cost. Quality orthodontic care for a teen or pre-teen used to come with a price tag that made families look the other way. That has been changing, and at our Wayside office in East Houston, we have made it a point to keep our braces pricing one of the friendliest in the area.
A patient at our Wayside location shared this on Google:
“Great service. It is very clean and they get the job done right. They always have great offers for braces. (Which are very affordable.)”
That short review captures something we hear from families a lot. They want straight teeth for their kids without putting the family budget under stress.
Braces should not feel like buying a used car, with surprise add-ons popping up halfway through treatment. Before your child starts at our office, you get a full quote that covers every visit, every adjustment, and the retainer at the end. Nothing gets tacked on later.
We also offer flexible monthly payments with no interest through CareCredit and iCreditWorks. Most families can fit braces into a normal monthly budget without dipping into savings.
A lot of dental plans cover part of orthodontic treatment. We accept DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, United Healthcare, Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Principal, and United Concordia. Our front desk handles the back-and-forth with your insurance so you do not make a single phone call.
If your child qualifies for Medicaid orthodontic coverage, our team walks you through that whole process from start to finish.
Misaligned teeth are not just a cosmetic issue. A bad bite can cause problems with chewing, speech, and even sleep over time. Our orthodontics team takes a full look at every patient before recommending a treatment plan.
For kids, we usually start with an evaluation around age seven. That does not always mean putting braces on right away. Sometimes it just means tracking how the teeth come in so we step in at the right moment.
Braces patients come in every four to six weeks for a year or two. So the cleanliness of the office matters more here than for a one-off visit. Our four operatories are sanitized between every patient, and our exam areas are kept spotless throughout the day.
Our Wayside Drive office sits in the Lawndale and Magnolia area, easy to reach from Pecan Park, Magnolia Park, Harrisburg, the Greater East End, and Downtown Houston. Older kids who drive themselves can hit our office after school without a long drive across the city.
If you have been putting off braces because of the price, come in for a free consultation. You get the actual cost up front and payment options that fit your family.
