If you are searching for an "orthodontist near me" with low down payments or looking to maximize your dental insurance, we have designed our practice to say "Yes" to your smile.
Flexible Payment Plans: You Set The Price
We are proud to be one of the few offices where you can set your own monthly payment. Our "lifestyle-friendly" financing includes:
-
Payments as low as $125/Month: We work with you to find a monthly amount that fits comfortably into your family's budget.

0% Interest Financing: We offer in-house financing with zero interest—no hidden fees, no credit-based price hikes.
-
Lowest Down Payments in East Texas: We make it easy to start treatment the same day with minimal upfront costs.
Maximizing Your Insurance Benefits
Understanding "orthodontic insurance" can be confusing. Unlike general dental coverage, orthodontic benefits are usually a "Lifetime Maximum."
-
In-Network Advantage: Mack & Hansen Orthodontics is unique because we are In-Network with almost all major insurance providers (Delta Dental, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, MetLife, and more). This can significantly lower your out-of-pocket costs compared to "out-of-network" providers.
-
Full Benefit Coordination: Our dedicated insurance team handles all the paperwork for you, ensuring you receive every dollar of coverage you’re entitled to.
Tax-Advantaged Savings: HSA & FSA
Did you know you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for orthodontic treatment? Because an orthodontist is a medical specialist, your treatment is a qualified medical expense. Using these pre-tax dollars can effectively save you up to 30% on your total treatment cost.
Affordability FAQ for New Patients
How much does a consultation with an orthodontist cost? At Mack & Hansen, your initial exam, 3D digital scans, and consultation are 100% free. We want you to have all the information about your treatment and costs before you spend a single dollar.
Do you offer discounts for multiple family members? Yes! We love treating families. We offer significant sibling and parent discounts to help make multiple smiles affordable for the same household.
Are clear aligners (Invisalign) more expensive than braces? In 2026, the cost gap between Invisalign and traditional braces has closed. In many cases, we can offer clear aligners for the same monthly payment or less than metal braces.
When you come in for your Free Smile Consult, Dr. Mack or Dr. Hansen will give you their treatment recommendation for you or your child. One of our Treatment Coordinators, Whitney and Stephanie, will discuss the investment in treatment, all the features included, and allow you to set up your own personalized payment plan.
