Direct Billing

Taking care of your teeth is an investment in your healthiest, happiest smile. At Expressions Orthodontics, we make every effort to ensure the financial aspect of your visit is as straightforward as possible so you can focus on your orthodontic care. Direct billing is available through most insurance providers, and for any remaining treatment fees not covered by insurance, our friendly receptionists will spread the balance across a 0% interest, flexible payment schedule.

Saturday Appointments

Save your personal days for the milestones that matter most. If you are unable to make it to a weekday appointment due to your work schedule, or if you would rather not pull your children out of school to see the orthodontist, Expressions Orthodontics has you covered. We are open on Saturdays to accommodate your busy schedule. Our compassionate orthodontic team understands that everyone is different, so we do our best to make orthodontic appointments as accessible as possible. 

Virtual Orthodontic Consultation

Get your smile journey started with a convenient, virtual orthodontic consultation. At Expressions Orthodontics, we give patients the option to submit photos of their mouth, teeth, and facial structure that our experienced Edmonton orthodontists can review and determine whether orthodontic treatment is right for you. We can even offer guidance on how to take your photos so we can accurately assess your smile. Offering virtual orthodontic consultations via Zoom allows us to see more patients and provide accessible orthodontic care for all.

Fees and Insurance

For patients who have an insurance policy that includes orthodontic coverage, we offer to accept assignment of insurance benefits*. This means you don’t have to go through the hassle of having to submit insurance claims for reimbursement each month. We take care of that. We take the amount covered by your insurance provider “off the top” and spread the remaining treatment fee across a 0% interest**, flexible payment schedule.

You can take advantage of this service and even begin treatment the day you visit our office by providing us with your insurance information when you first contact our office to schedule your free, initial consultation.
