Find Out What Your Smile Needs & What It'll Cost — Before You Walk In

Treatment cost varies depending on complexity and the type of appliance (clear aligners, metal braces, clear braces, etc.). At Zipper Orthodontics we offer free consultations where we provide a full cost breakdown. Most dental insurance plans cover $750–$3,000+ toward orthodontic treatment, and we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early evaluation allows Dr. Zipper to identify potential issues with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. Early treatment (Phase 1) can prevent more serious problems from developing later.

Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Most comprehensive treatments take 12–24 months, though minor cases with clear aligners can be completed in as few as 6 months. During your free consultation, Dr. Zipper will give you a personalized treatment timeline.

Yes — Zipper Orthodontics accepts most major dental insurance plans. Orthodontic coverage is a separate lifetime benefit from your regular dental coverage, typically ranging from $750 to $3,000+. We handle all insurance paperwork and file every claim directly so you get the maximum benefit with zero hassle.

Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually straighten teeth — ideal for adults and teens who want a discreet option. Traditional braces use brackets and wires bonded to teeth and are excellent for complex cases. Both achieve great results. Dr. Zipper will recommend the best option for your specific needs during your free consultation.

Yes. At Zipper Orthodontics we prioritize biocompatible, BPA-free materials in our treatments. Our clear aligners are made from medical-grade, BPA-free thermoplastic, and we use digital scanning technology instead of traditional chemical impression materials. We believe orthodontic care should be safe for your whole body — not just effective for your smile.

Non-toxic orthodontics is a health-conscious approach that uses biocompatible, BPA-free materials and focuses on whole-body wellness — not just straight teeth. At Zipper Orthodontics, this means BPA-free aligners and adhesives, digital scans instead of chemical impressions, airway-focused treatment that considers breathing and sleep health, and a non-extraction philosophy that works with your body's natural growth patterns.

Airway orthodontics looks beyond tooth alignment to address how your jaw position and bite affect your breathing, sleep quality, and overall health. Issues like mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep apnea can be connected to jaw and dental development. Dr. Zipper evaluates airway health as part of every treatment plan, ensuring your orthodontic care supports better breathing and long-term wellness.
