Jamie,
Thank you for coming in and trusting Bright Smiles with your smile. Choosing an orthodontist is a meaningful decision, and we don't take that trust lightly.
This proposal covers your complete treatment plan as we discussed: initial records and custom molds, full metal braces on both arches, 18 months of monthly adjustment appointments, and upper and lower retainers at treatment completion. The investment shown is the total cost — no hidden appointment fees, no surprise charges for the adjustments that are part of your active treatment.
• Board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics — Dr. Maria Chen, 18 years in practice • Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, and MetLife accepted — we verify your benefits before treatment starts • Treatment outcome guarantee — we adjust at no charge until results match your approved plan • Direct scheduling line available for the duration of your treatment
Looking forward to working with you, Dr. Maria Chen (909) 555-0142
If you are getting multiple quotes — and you should —
For orthodontic treatment, the most important things to verify: whether the provider is in-network for your specific insurance plan (a per-visit cost gap adds up significantly over 18 months), what is included in the quoted price versus billed separately at each appointment, which staff member personally performs your adjustments, and what happens if treatment runs longer than estimated.
We price what we promise, and we promise what we price. If another quote comes in significantly lower, ask them to match our scope line by line — the difference usually becomes clear quickly.
