New Patient Questions, Answered

Is the consultation at Ridgefield Orthodontics really free?

Yes. Your first visit is complimentary, including the exam and Dr. Nithya's treatment recommendation. You leave knowing exactly what your teeth need and what it will cost, with no obligation to start.

How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Ridgefield, CT?

It depends on your case, which is why we start with a free consultation instead of publishing a price that may be wrong for you. After the exam you get an exact fee for your treatment, and flexible payment plans can spread it into monthly amounts that work for your family.

Does dental insurance cover braces or Invisalign?

Many dental plans include an orthodontic benefit that pays part of the treatment fee, often with a lifetime maximum per person. Bring your insurance information to your consultation and our team will check your exact benefit and help you use it.

What happens at the first visit?

Dr. Nithya examines your teeth and bite, takes any records needed, and walks you through what she recommends and why. You also get your exact treatment fee and payment options before you leave. Forms are paperless, so you can complete everything before you arrive.

Do you treat adults, or just kids and teens?

All ages. Dr. Nithya treats children, teens, and plenty of adults, with options like clear aligners and BRAVA hidden braces for patients who want treatment nobody notices.
