Orthodontic Financing and Insurance in Santa Monica

Consultation Room

A beautiful smile should fit your budget, too.

At Alinea Orthodontics, we believe cost should never stand between you and a confident smile. That's why Dr. Jose Enrique Ortiz, our board-certified orthodontist, offers flexible financing and insurance options for families across Santa Monica and the Westside.

Whether you're exploring braces for your teen, Invisalign for yourself or early treatment for your child, you'll get a clear plan and a payment option that works for your family.

Flexible Payment Plans for Braces and Invisalign in Santa Monica

We know every family's budget looks a little different. So we keep things simple, with options designed around you:

  • Full-Payment Discount: Save when you pay for treatment in full at the start.
  • No-Interest Financing: Spread your treatment cost into manageable monthly payments with a low down payment and zero interest.
  • Multi-Family Member Discount: Save when more than one member of your family is in treatment with us.
  • Automatic Payments: Set up automatic withdrawals from your checking account or credit card so you never have to think about a due date.

Insurance, HSA and FSA Accepted

We accept all PPO insurance plans, and our team is happy to check your orthodontic benefits for you before treatment begins. We'll file claims on your behalf and apply your coverage directly to your treatment plan.

We are also in-network with Delta, Guardian, and Aetna.

You can also use HSA and FSA funds for orthodontic care. It's a smart way to put pre-tax dollars toward your new smile.

What Affects the Cost of Braces and Invisalign in Santa Monica?

Every smile is unique, so every treatment plan is, too. A few things shape your total cost:

  • Type of treatment: We offer several treatment options, including traditional braces, clear ceramic braces, custom braces, Brava hidden braces, Invisalign clear aligners and orthodontic appliances. Each is priced differently based on the approach that's right for your smile.
  • Length of treatment: Simpler cases often finish sooner and cost less.
  • Complexity: Bite correction, crowding and spacing all factor into your plan.
  • Age and stage: Early treatment for kids, care for teens and adult orthodontics each have different goals.

As a Blue Diamond Invisalign provider, Dr. Ortiz has extensive experience with clear aligner treatment. Curious about aligners specifically?

No surprise bills. Your treatment fee covers everything you need from start to finish:

  • Diagnostic Records and X-rays: Study models and X-rays that help our orthodontist build an accurate plan.
  • All Appliances: From braces to Invisalign, every appliance you need is included.
  • Orthodontic Visits: Unlimited office visits, including emergency appointments.
  • Retainers: One set of retainers when treatment is complete, so your new smile stays put.
