How to Afford Orthodontic Treatment Without Insurance
Thinking about braces or aligners, but don’t have dental insurance? You’re not alone—and the good news is you still have plenty of options. At Carter Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile, no matter their financial situation. Here’s how you can afford orthodontic treatment—even without insurance.
✅ 1. Use a Flexible Payment Plan Like Cherry
Cherry Payment Plans let you start treatment right away and pay over time—with no hidden fees.
Even better? You can qualify for 0% APR financing for 6 months, making it easier to manage costs without paying interest. Just apply in seconds (subject to approval), and once you’re approved, your rate is locked in for your selected term.
🎯 Key benefit: Get care now, pay later — without breaking your monthly budget.
✅ 2. Join Our $79 Membership Program
For a one-time fee of just $79, you can unlock savings of up to $1,000 off your treatment, or up to $3,000 if you also have dental insurance.
Even if you’re uninsured, this is one of the most affordable ways to reduce the cost of braces or clear aligners.
✅ 3. Ask About In-House Financing
In addition to Cherry, we offer flexible in-house payment plans with low monthly payments.
Our team will work with you to build a personalized plan that fits your budget—no insurance required.
✅ 4. Use HSA or FSA Funds
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), orthodontic treatment usually qualifies.
Using pre-tax dollars can save you up to 30% on your total cost.
✅ 5. Start Small with a Free Consultation
We offer free consultations so you can understand your options before committing.
During your visit, we’ll give you a personalized quote and walk you through every payment option—no pressure, no surprises.
