§ The honest version

“We pick treatment by fit, not menu padding. If metal braces is not the right answer for you, the consultation is still on us, and we will tell you what is.”- Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Montoya

Two specialist orthodontists, both ortho-residency trained, sharing one waiting room since 1997. That means whoever is at your first consultation is also at your last appointment, same chart, same hands, same standard.

The three things people most often ask before scheduling a metal braces consultation.

How much do metal braces cost?

Cost varies based on complexity. We provide a detailed, written breakdown during your complimentary consultation, including what your insurance is likely to cover and a 0% in-house monthly figure. We do not quote ranges over the phone.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment typically takes 12-24 months, depending on your specific case. Your orthodontist will give you a calendar at consultation, start date, expected midpoint, expected end date, so you know exactly what you are committing to.

Metal Braces are typically the right answer for children, teens, adults. The honest version of that question gets answered during your complimentary consultation, sometimes another option is a better fit, and we will tell you when it is.
