Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Start Orthodontic Treatment
As the year winds down and routines settle back into place after summer, fall is one of the best times to begin your orthodontic journey. Whether you’ve been considering braces or clear aligners, starting treatment now can set you up for a confident, healthy smile by next year.
1. Take Advantage of End-of-Year Insurance Benefits
If you have dental insurance, fall is the ideal time to use your remaining orthodontic benefits before they reset in January. Many plans offer up to $3,000 in savings, but if you don’t use it — you lose it.
2. Start Now, Smile by Summer
Beginning treatment in the fall means you’ll see noticeable progress by spring or summer. Whether it’s for prom, graduation, or wedding season, starting now helps ensure you’ll be photo-ready when it matters most.
3. Convenient Payment Options
At Carter Orthodontics, braces or aligner treatment starts at $4,695, and we make payments simple. With Cherry Payment Plans, you can enjoy 0% APR for 6 months (subject to approval) — get care now, pay later.
4. Save Even More with the $79 Membership
Join our Forever Aligned Club for just $79 and receive up to $1,000 off your treatment. Combine that with insurance savings, and your total cost can be significantly reduced.
5. Get Ahead Before the New Year Rush
Many patients wait until January to start orthodontic care, but fall appointments are more flexible and easier to schedule. Getting started now means no waitlists and a smoother, stress-free beginning.
