Understanding the cost of your treatment

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies according to several factors specific to each patient. During your free orthodontic consultation, we will provide a detailed and transparent quote, before you decide on treatment.

Factors that influence cost

  • Case complexity simple alignment costs less than a complete skeletal correction
  • Treatment duration a 12-month case differs from a 30-month treatment
  • Type of appliance chosen classic braces, ceramic, lingual or clear aligners
  • Care required diagnostic records, treatment stages and follow-up appropriate to your case

Free orthodontic consultation includes

Complete clinical examination, personalized evaluation, treatment plan presentation, detailed cost estimate and explanation of all payment options. Ask which diagnostic records, appliances, follow-up visits and retention services are included in your written estimate.

Orthodontic financing and payment options

Flexible payment options

Full payment

Ask our team about paying the total fee at the start. Any conditions that apply will be set out in your written estimate so you can compare the available arrangements.

Monthly plans

Insurance and payment planning

Health services for First Nations and Inuit

Our team can assist eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with orthodontic requests under the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program. Coverage depends on the program's criteria and prior review.

Coverage review

A coverage request may involve the following records and treatment stages. The program decides which services are eligible:

  • Initial orthodontic evaluation
  • Complete treatment (braces and appliances)
  • Retention phase
  • X-rays and diagnostic imaging

Communities served

We welcome patients from Kanesatake, Kahnawake, Akwesasne, Wendake and all other First Nations and Inuit communities in Québec and Canada.

Frequently asked questions about financing

Monthly payment options can be discussed during your orthodontic consultation. Your written agreement will set out the total fee, initial deposit, payment amounts and schedule, and any applicable financing conditions before you decide.

Ask our team about payment options for treatment at either clinic: Queen Mary in Montréal or rue du Parc in Saint-Eustache. The terms depend on the treatment and the agreement proposed to you.

The fee depends on your diagnosis, treatment complexity, appliance and planned follow-up. Ask for a written comparison of the options appropriate for your case, including what is covered by each estimate.

Coverage depends on your policy. Check adult eligibility, the reimbursement percentage, lifetime maximum and any remaining benefits with your insurer. An estimate is not a guarantee of reimbursement.

Contact our team promptly to discuss your situation and review the existing payment agreement. Any change to the arrangement must be discussed and confirmed; it is not automatic.

NIHB orthodontic coverage is subject to client eligibility, clinical criteria and predetermination. Our team can help with the documentation. Wait for the coverage decision and clarification of any costs before starting treatment.
