Affordable Braces in Downtown LA,
With a Payment Plan You Build
You want to fix your smile or your child’s bite. The hard part is the number. Maybe you already got a quote somewhere else and walked out wondering how anyone pays for this.
Here is the straight answer. At our Westlake office on W 3rd Street, most full treatment plans fall between about $3,000 and $8,000. Where yours lands depends on your bite, how complex your case is, and whether you choose braces or Invisalign.
Paying it all at once isn’t realistic for most families. You don’t have to. Our in-house payment plans let you choose your own down payment. Put more down, and your monthly payment drops. Put less down, and you keep more cash in your pocket today. Then you set a monthly amount that fits your budget.
Have dental insurance? Many plans include an orthodontic benefit. Bring your card to your consultation, and the team will check your coverage and show you how it applies.
Your consultation is free. You’ll see your options, your total fee, and your monthly amount before you agree to anything. Comprehensive consultations take time, and we book accordingly. Ask every question you have, in English or Spanish, and come on a Saturday if that saves you a missed shift.
Affordable should never mean cutting corners. Dr. David Alpan, who has created more than 25,000 treatment plans, designs every plan himself. Your plan also includes yearly check-ins for life, so the smile you pay for once is one you get to keep.
