Your Investment in a Smile That Lasts a Lifetime
We believe finances should never stand between you and a healthy, beautiful smile. Here is everything you need to know: no surprises, no pressure, just clarity.
One of the most exciting parts of starting orthodontic treatment is choosing how you want to get there. At Rawlins Orthodontics, we offer three treatment options: hi-tech metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Each one works differently and fits a different kind of patient, lifestyle, and clinical situation.
The right choice isn’t about which option looks most impressive on a website. It’s about which one is right for your teeth, your life, and your goals. That’s exactly what R. Baker Rawlins II, DMD, MS walks you through at your free consultation: a clear, honest recommendation based on your clinical needs, with no pressure and no guesswork.
Investment Ranges
What Does Treatment Typically Cost?
Every smile is different, so every treatment plan is different. Here are typical investment ranges for our most common treatment types. Your exact investment will be confirmed at your free consultation, where Dr. Rawlins reviews your specific case and provides a complete cost breakdown, no obligation required.

Insurance
How Orthodontic Insurance Works
Most families are surprised by how much their insurance covers. Here is a plain-English explanation.
| Typical benefit | $1,000 to $2,500 lifetime per patient |
| Annual vs. lifetime? | Lifetime. It is a one-time benefit per patient, not per year. |
| Does it apply to Invisalign? | Yes, for most plans |
| How is it paid? | Distributed in payments over the course of treatment |
| When do we verify? | Before your consultation. We do the legwork. |
| Plans accepted | Most major private insurance plans |
Not sure if you have orthodontic coverage? Call your insurance company and ask: Does my plan include an orthodontic lifetime maximum? We are also happy to check for you before your visit.
Payment Plans
Flexible, In-House Payment Plans
We offer interest-free monthly payment plans managed entirely in-house, with no third-party lenders, no credit checks, and no surprises.
The easiest option? Set up automatic bank drafting and never think about it again. Most families tell us it just becomes part of the monthly routine.
| Typical monthly payment | $150 to $235 per month (after insurance applied) |
| Down payment range | $500 to $1,500 at start of treatment |
| Interest charged? | None, ever |
| Credit check required? | No |
| Third-party lender? | No, all plans managed in-house |
| Automatic bank drafting? | Yes, and it is the simplest way to pay |
| FSA/HSA accepted? | Yes |
| Major credit cards? | Yes (a 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments) |
A 3% processing fee is applied to payments made by credit card. No fee applies to bank draft or FSA/HSA payments.
