So youโve discovered that the future includes braces. While the tradeoff is a healthier, more beautiful smile, itโs thousands of dollars that youโre shelling out.ย For some people, thatโs little more than petty cash. If thatโs not your situation, however, you might be wondering if there are things you can do to make them more affordable.
Plan Ahead
Sometimes there are pretty clear signs that you or your child will benefit from having braces. While the general rule for getting braces is โthe sooner the betterโ (once the majority of the permanent teeth come in), getting braces isnโt usually something that is super time sensitive. That means that you can plan ahead and start saving money to pay for braces. Setting aside a portion of your paycheck every month can add up, making it easier to pay for them when the time comes.
Insurance
Thereโs plenty of grumbling to be done when it comes to insurance, but you canโt deny that it can really come in handy when you need it. If you compare the cost of braces with insurance to the cost of braces without insurance, youโll find that the cost after insurance is generally much more affordable, sometimes chopping the price in half. How much youโll pay will depend on your insurance and what theyโre willing to cover. Keep in mind that if you change your insurance while you have braces, what you end up paying may change as well.
Financing
But what if you donโt have insurance? Or even if you do but itโs still more than you can pay upfront?
