Why All-Inclusive Pricing Changes Everything

Dr. Rashid Kamdar·August 19, 2024

The Hidden Cost Problem

Orthodontic pricing has a transparency problem. A practice might advertise braces for $2,999 — but that price often does not include X-rays, records, retainers, mid-treatment adjustments, or emergency visits. By the time treatment is complete, the real cost can be $1,000 to $2,000 higher than the number that caught your eye.

This is one of the most common complaints we hear from patients who have been to other offices: "The price they quoted me was not the price I paid."

What All-Inclusive Means at Platinum Orthodontics

When we quote you a price, that is the full price. Period. Your treatment fee covers:

  • ·Initial records: X-rays, photos, digital scans
  • ·All office visits throughout treatment
  • ·All wire changes and adjustments
  • ·All emergency visits for broken brackets or poking wires
  • ·Clear retainers at the end of treatment (a $600 value at most offices)
  • ·Any refinements needed after your initial treatment

There are no monthly fees, no per-visit charges, and no surprise bills when your braces come off.

Why We Do It This Way

Dr. Kamdar believes that financial uncertainty should not be part of your orthodontic experience. When you know the full cost upfront, you can budget properly, make confident decisions, and focus on your treatment — not on what the next appointment might cost.

It also creates a different kind of relationship. We are not incentivized to add on extra appointments or charge for things that should be included. Your success is our success.

Flexible Payment Options

All-inclusive does not mean you have to pay everything upfront. We offer:

  • ·Low down payments
  • ·Monthly payment plans with 0% interest options
  • ·Insurance coordination — we work with most major plans and will help you maximize your benefits
  • ·Medicaid and Denti-Cal accepted
