Prices

How much do braces cost in Abington PA?

There is no published price for braces, so the cost is quoted after the examination. The final estimate depends on bite correction, crowding, treatment length, and whether you need one arch or both. If you are comparing options, Invisalign is published at $3,500 to $7,000, while braces are priced after the exam because each case is different. A consultation can also clarify whether sedation is useful for your visit.

Treatment fit

What makes braces a good option for Abington patients?

Braces are a strong choice when teeth need steady, controlled movement, especially for crowding, spacing, or bite issues. Many Abington patients like that treatment is monitored in person by four dentists at one Langhorne address, with 27,000+ patients treated since 2004. That local setup matters if you want a team that can track progress, adjust the plan, and handle problems without sending you across town. It also helps that the practice has been named Best Dentist in the Philadelphia region eight years running.
Common reasons patients choose braces
Crowded teethBraces can create room and align teeth that overlap or sit too close together.
SpacingGaps can be closed gradually so the smile looks more even and functions better.
Bite correctionOverbites, underbites, and crossbites often need steady force over time.
Long-term planningBraces can be part of a larger plan if you also need cosmetic or restorative work later.
Visit flow

What happens at the first braces visit?

The first visit usually includes an exam, imaging, and a discussion of your bite, goals, and timing. At Alpha Dental Excellence, the sedation consultation is complimentary and includes a CBCT scan plus a panoramic X-ray, which helps build a precise plan. From there, the team explains the next steps, the likely timeline, and whether braces or another orthodontic option fits better. If you are traveling from Abington, the drive is short enough to make regular checkups practical.
Typical first-visit steps
ExamThe dentist checks alignment, bite, and any signs of wear or crowding.
ImagingCBCT and panoramic imaging help show roots, bone, and tooth position.
PlanYou get a treatment outline with timing, visit frequency, and next steps.
SchedulingAppointments are arranged around your routine, with same-day emergency slots kept open daily.
Comfort

Can sedation help if braces visits make you anxious?

Yes, oral and IV sedation are available in house for patients who feel nervous about dental care. The complimentary sedation consultation is a $574 value and includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray, so the team can review your options clearly. That can be useful if you have avoided orthodontic care because of fear, a strong gag reflex, or past difficulty sitting through treatment. It also gives you a chance to ask about comfort before you commit to a plan.
Comfort options to ask about
Oral sedationMay help you feel calmer before and during your appointment.
IV sedationMay be used when a deeper level of relaxation is needed.
Complimentary consultThe sedation consultation is free and includes two types of imaging.
Clear reviewYou can discuss what is appropriate for your health history and treatment plan.
Payments

How can you pay for braces treatment?

Interest-free payment plans run 12 to 24 months, which can spread the cost into monthly amounts that are easier to manage. For a $15,000 case, the monthly range is about $625 to $1,250, depending on the plan length. That kind of financing can help if you want to start treatment without waiting. It also makes it easier to compare braces with other published options such as Invisalign, which is listed at $3,500 to $7,000.

Common Questions

Common questions about braces in Abington PA

The timeline depends on crowding, bite issues, and how much movement is needed. Some cases move faster than others, but the dentist will only estimate the length after the examination and imaging. That way, the plan reflects your actual teeth instead of a generic average.

You should expect an initial exam, placement, and regular adjustment visits. The exact schedule varies by case, but a nearby office in Langhorne makes follow-up visits easier for Abington patients who do not want a long drive every time.

Call the office and describe the problem. Same-day emergency slots are kept open daily, so the team can often fit you in quickly if a wire is poking, a bracket comes loose, or something is causing pain.
