Berkeley Family Orthodontics makes braces and clear aligners affordable with in-house, no-interest payment plans. Monthly payments start around $300 with a low down payment (often ranges from $1,500 - $2500), and we accept HSA and FSA funds. There is no outside lender and no interest added.
Cost should never be the reason you put off a healthy smile. At Berkeley Family Orthodontics, we talk about money openly, something many orthodontists avoid, so you can make a confident decision. Dr. Robert Iezman and our team offer flexible, no-interest payment plans handled right here in our office, plus help understanding your insurance. Whether you are budgeting for your child’s braces or your own clear aligners, we will find a plan that fits your family.
How We Make Treatment Affordable
Berkeley Family Orthodontics offers in-house, no-interest payment plans. That means:
- No interest, ever, on our in-house monthly plans (no third-party lender adding finance charges)
- Monthly payments starting around $300, spread across your treatment
- A modest down payment, often between $1,500 - $2500 to begin
- HSA and FSA accepted, so you can use pre-tax dollars
- Family programs, with special pricing when more than one family member is in treatment
Your Payment Options
We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, and we offer several ways to pay:
- Pay in full: Receive a 5% discount when you pay in full by cash or check, at the start of treatment.
- Automatic checking account draft: No-interest monthly installments drawn automatically from your checking account (a one-time down payment is required to place appliances).
- Automatic credit card charge: No-interest monthly payments charged automatically to your card (a one-time down payment is required, and a card service fee applies).
Monthly payments are due each month regardless of whether you have an appointment that month. Finishing treatment early is a nice bonus of choosing an experienced orthodontist, though there are no refunds for early completion.
Courtesy Insurance Billing
If you have orthodontic insurance benefits, we are happy to file claims to your insurance for reiembursment, a service many offices leave to the patient. Because every policy is different, we recommend confirming your specific coverage with your insurer, and completing the insurance section of our new patient questionnaire so we can help. A couple of things to keep in mind: your insurance is a contract between you and your provider, and if your benefits change during treatment, you remain responsible for the agreed fee.
