We’re Always Welcoming New Patients in St. Louis!

We’re committed to helping you achieve a beautiful smile!

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist when they are 7 years old. This first free appointment allows Cardinal Orthodontics of St. Louis to work with your child’s unique growth timeline and to choose the best time to begin treatment whether it be braces or Invisalign.

But, it is never too late to receive our affordable orthodontic treatment! Orthodontics can benefit people of all ages including teens and adults. New cosmetic treatment options have made adult orthodontics, including adult braces and Invisalign, much more desirable.

It’s never too late to achieve the smile you have always dreamed of!

Are Braces Worth It?

Cardinal Orthodontics is committed to providing affordable orthodontic treatment options.

When you have your initial free exam, we’re happy to discuss and assist you with a payment option that fits best for your family’s monthly budget.

  • Personalized monthly payment plan can be arranged with no interest or carrying charge.
  • If full payment is made at the onset of orthodontic treatment, we will offer a 5% fee discount.
  • If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for payment of your portion of the fee that will not be covered by insurance.
  • Financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments up to 32 months.
  • For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards.

What If I Have Insurance?

If you have insurance to cover braces or Invisalign, our office will accept the assignment of benefits from your insurance company directly, minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to your first appointment, we will be happy to call your insurance company to get an estimate of the coverage you have available for braces or Invisalign treatment. We will assist you with filing your claims, filling out any necessary paperwork, and handling insurance questions on your behalf.
