What treatment costs, honestly
There is no single price for braces or aligners, and any clinic that quotes you one over the phone is guessing. The fee is specific to you: it depends on the complexity of your bite and the treatment you choose, because a small correction and a full bite overhaul are simply not the same piece of work. As a guide, early treatment for children in Halifax may range from $1,200 to $5,800, and comprehensive treatment for children and adults in Halifax may range from $6,400 to $9,200. Rather than a package price, Dr. Catherine McLeod gives you a written quote for your own case, with the payment options laid out, once she has examined your teeth at your free consultation.
Want a rough sense of the monthly figure before you come in? You can try our payment calculator to see how different plan lengths and down payments change the number. Treat it as a guide; your real, written quote comes once Dr. Catherine McLeod has assessed your case. Nobody is asked to commit to anything based on a calculator; it is there to take the mystery out of the monthly number before you ever sit down with us.
Interest-free plans that fit your budget
Most families spread the cost over the course of treatment with an in-house payment plan. Plans start from $149 a month, at 0% interest, with a flexible down payment you can set to suit your budget. There is no third-party lender and no credit-check hoop to jump through; it is simply a straightforward arrangement between you and the practice, and we accept most major credit cards too.
The idea is that cost is never the reason a family in Halifax puts off treatment that would genuinely help. Straightening teeth is an investment in a healthier mouth, and we would rather make the money side calm and predictable so you can get on with the decision that actually matters. Spreading the fee over the course of treatment turns one daunting number into a manageable monthly one, and there is no penalty for paying it down faster if you would rather.
Insurance, handled for you
If your plan covers orthodontics, our team will help you get the most from it. We direct-bill most insurance companies, so in many cases you pay only your share rather than fronting the whole fee and waiting for a refund. Where it helps, we can also send your insurer a pre-determination before you start, asking them to confirm in writing exactly what they will cover, so there are no surprises later.
All of this is sorted at your free consultation, alongside your written quote. Whether you are considering clear aligners or braces, you will leave knowing the full fee, your plan options and your likely out-of-pocket cost, with no obligation to go ahead. Bring your insurance details to the consultation at our Spring Garden Road office and our team will do the legwork with your provider, so the paperwork is one less thing on your plate.
