New patients

Everything you need before your first visit.

The first consultation is free, insurance and financing are handled up front, and nothing on this page is a quote. Your exact number comes after Dr. Becker sees your scan. Here is what to expect at each stage.

Stage: Start

The free visit, and the free wait

Your first consultation costs nothing, whether you come in for yourself or for your child. Dr. Becker reviews the case, explains the real options, and tells you honestly if treatment is not needed yet.

For kids, that honesty is often "not yet." The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up no later than age 7, but a lot of 7-year-olds simply are not ready to start. Our free Observation Program covers that gap: from age 6, we monitor growth every six months at no charge and no obligation, so treatment starts when the timing is genuinely right instead of on a sales calendar.

Financing

We work with OrthoFi for flexible, monthly payment plans set against what you can actually afford, with no hidden fees. We also accept all major credit cards.

What it costs

Clear aligner treatment typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,500. Your exact price is given at the free consultation, after we have seen your scan.
Metal braces do not have a published price here. The range depends on the case, and it is quoted at your free consultation rather than guessed at online.

How often you will come in

Clear aligners: check-ups run about 15 to 20 minutes, roughly every 6 to 8 weeks. You will swap in a new tray at home about every 1 to 2 weeks.
Metal braces: adjustments happen every 10 to 12 weeks early in treatment, then move to every 4 to 6 weeks as things progress.

Stage: Retention

Keeping the result

A retainer is normally built into your treatment plan, so your first one is not a surprise line item. Beyond that first retainer, pricing generally runs $100 to $1,000, depending on the option you choose, and a replacement retainer typically costs about $150 per arch if one is lost or breaks later on.

Common questions

Before you call

Most people are, including many who were told no somewhere else. The consultation is free, and it exists to review your options rather than to sell you one. Dr. Becker will tell you if he thinks you do not need treatment.

Clear aligner treatment in Plymouth Meeting and Phoenixville typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,500, and your exact figure is quoted at the free consultation once we have seen your scan. Retainers generally range from $100 to $1,000 depending on which option you choose, and a replacement retainer typically costs about $150 per arch. Your first retainer is normally built into the treatment plan.

It depends entirely on the case, from several weeks to several months and longer for complex movement. Aligner check-ups run about 15 to 20 minutes every 6 to 8 weeks. Braces are adjusted every 10 to 12 weeks early on, then every 4 to 6 weeks as treatment progresses.

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Delta Dental, United Healthcare, Guardian and MetLife. We also work with OrthoFi for monthly payment plans that are set against what you can actually afford, and we take all major credit cards.
