Whether you're talking to someone at the front desk, or in the financing office, or sitting in a dental chair, our team members take personal responsibility for helping you. You won't wait on hold, and you won't be bounced from person to person. 

At Appel Orthodontics, you come first: your care, but also your questions and concerns, your goals, your stories. If something matters to you, it matters to us. We can't wait to meet you.

Retainer Insurance

Braces move your teeth, and wearing a retainer at night keeps your teeth in place, insuring that your beautiful smile lasts a lifetime. We want to do everything we can to support our patients in sticking with this final stage of treatment!

Our retainer insurance program covers replacement retainers for seven years post-treatment. That means it's easy and affordable to replace a retainer that breaks or gets lost.

Maximize convenience:
start treatment the same day as your consultation.
