Board-Certified Family Orthodontics in Frisco, TX

Most comprehensive cases land between $4,000 and $6,500. Limited treatment on a single arch runs lower. Clear aligners come in close to braces, not the same, and usually a little above.

We are in-network with most major PPO plans, so your coverage goes further here than at an out-of-network office. If there is no insurance we run in-house plans, plus CareCredit and Cherry.

For qualified applicants we can sometimes start with zero down and zero percent interest. That one depends on credit, so we run it at the consultation and you know the answer before you commit to anything.

You get the number in writing at the consultation, before treatment starts. We do not take Medicaid.

Around seven. Not because that is when treatment starts, because that is when we can see whether the jaw is growing the way it should and whether the permanent teeth have room.

Most of those first visits end with us telling you to come back in a year. That is a good outcome. The point is catching the small number of cases where waiting until twelve costs you options.

Both are clear aligners. Invisalign is the name everyone knows, and most people say Invisalign when they mean any aligner. Angel is often better value and handles certain movements well.

I am one of the largest Angel providers in Texas and I train other orthodontists on the system, so I have an obvious bias to declare. I will still tell you which one fits your case, and sometimes the answer is neither and you want braces.

We are in-network with most major PPO dental plans. Bring your card to the consultation and we will run the benefits while you are here, so the number you leave with is the real one and not an estimate.

Whichever is easiest. Records move between all three and the doctors are the same. Most families pick by commute and then stay put. If you move across town mid-treatment you switch offices and nothing else changes.

Sometimes. A narrow upper jaw, a tongue that sits low, mouth breathing, these show up in how the bite develops and they show up at night.

I am not going to diagnose a sleep disorder from a dental chair. But tell me at the first visit, because it changes what I look for and occasionally it changes the timing of treatment.

No. Dr. Kang and I own it and we treat every patient ourselves. It matters mostly for continuity: the person who plans your case is the person who finishes it, and you are not re-explaining your history to somebody new every few months.
