TRANSFER CASES: In the event you transfer to another city after you start treatment in our practice we will refer you to another orthodontist that has a compatible treatment philosophy with our office. If you have paid your orthodontic fees in advance our office will return all unearned orthodontic fees. The amount of your refund will be determined as follows. Startup costs shall include, but may not be limited to, initial evaluation of orthodontic problems, diagnostic records, case treatment plan, formulation of treatment protocol, appliance fabrication, laboratory procedures, correspondence with your general dentist and other doctors as required. The fees charged for these services are usually a minimum of $1800. The minimum start up fees for Invisalign therapy is $3600 due to initial laboratory fees. Active orthodontic treatment is determined by the number of months you are under our care. You may not have a scheduled appointment every month; however, some months may require multiple appointments. You will be charged a minimum of $150 each month which may or may not be the same as your monthly payment plan. In an effort to make our orthodontic fees affordable you may have paid a smaller down payment and make larger monthly payments. We often give case fee discounts that may or may not be honored if you transfer before completion of your contract with our practice. There is also a records duplication fee of $50 due at the time of transfer. Hopefully you will not be transferred in the middle of your treatment. Many of our patients make arrangements to commute back to our office allowing us to finish the treatment. We can extend your visits to 12 week or more intervals to accommodate your commuting schedule. Clear aligner patients in most cases may elect to continue their treatments until completion and the final retainers can be mailed to you. If you have any chance of being transferred within 12 months of initiating treatment, it may be more prudent to postpone your orthodontic treatment until you relocate.
