Baton Rouge Orthodontist Takes Hassle Out Of Paying For Braces

Baton Rouge orthodontist Dr. Joseph Porter believes that braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic treatments should be available to everyone who needs them.

2011-10-06

BATON ROUGE, LA, October 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) In today's economic climate, families are reluctant to commit to any healthcare treatment that may be expensive, including braces for their children. However, putting off needed orthodontic treatment can have long-term repercussions to the oral health and self-esteem of the individual. Delayed orthodontic treatment also tends to cost more in the end, as problems can become harder to correct in adulthood. One Baton Rouge orthodontist has set out to make paying for braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic treatments as painless and affordable for his patients as possible so that no one has to delay seeking care.

Baton Rouge orthodontist Dr. Joseph Porter strongly believes that finances should never stand between a patient and receiving high quality orthodontic treatment. He has seen first hand the difference that a healthy, attractive smile can make in an individual's oral function, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. That is why the Baton Rouge Invisalign orthodontist strives to offer a payment plan that will put orthodontic treatment within the reach of everyone. Dr. Porter is a preferred provider for many health insurance plans, and his office will file all the claims on behalf of the family, saving them the hassle. For those with a qualifying healthcare plan, this option can greatly reduce the patient's out of pocket expense for their braces.

Another way that Dr. Porter makes orthodontic treatment affordable for his patients is with convenient payment plans. His knowledgeable staff can advise families on their options for low and even no interest payment programs offered through Porter Orthodontics. Many families report that the option to split up the cost of braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic treatment has made it easy to fit orthodontic care into the monthly family budget. Dr. Porter is also a Baton Rouge CareCredit orthodontist, and gladly accepts CareCredit plans for families who wish to finance their treatment. CareCredit is a specialized line of credit especially for healthcare services, and has plans which offer no-down payment, low monthly payments, and no or low interest plans.

Dr. Joseph Porter is a Baton Rouge Invisalign orthodontist with a second office in Denham Springs, LA. He is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. Patients of any age seeking consultations for Invisalign or other types of braces are invited to contact Porter Orthodontics by telephone at (225) 291-9900 or by email at info@porterbraces.com. His courteous staff is happy to assist patients with finding the form of payment or financing that best suits their needs.
