Understanding the financial side of treatment should feel manageable. Our team helps you review orthodontic insurance benefits and explore a personalized payment plan alongside Dr. Huang’s recommended care.
The recommended appliance, complexity and scope of care affect the fee. Ask for a written estimate explaining what is included, such as appointments, records and retainers, and any potential additional charges.

Bring your insurance information so the team can help clarify potential coverage and the estimated amount you would pay.

Review and ask questions

Clear information. Thoughtful planning.

Questions before you start
Which insurance plans does AiCare accept?
Call our team with your specific plan details to confirm current participation and orthodontic benefits. Having dental insurance does not by itself confirm orthodontic coverage or in-network status.
Can I get treatment without orthodontic insurance?
Yes. You can discuss self-pay care and available personalized payment plans with our team. Your treatment estimate and payment terms will be based on your individual plan.
Is an insurance estimate a guarantee of payment?
No. Benefit estimates can change based on eligibility, plan rules and claim processing. Ask your insurer and our team how any difference between estimated and actual coverage would affect your balance.
