What to Expect of Orthodontic Costs

We offer numerous options to help make orthodontic costs affordable for you and remove finances as obstacles to healthy bite. You will be pleased to find that our fees will be competitive with anyone you talk to regarding orthodontic care.

Every treatment that we provide is tailored to our patients’ individual needs, big and small, so a detailed review of your case is essential to us being able to provide you with an honest pricing assessment. We do not provide assembly line orthodontics, and products like braces and Invisalign are only a few of the tools that we use to deliver world-class results. In our practice, the cost of your care is determined solely by the difficulty of treatment, and the goals that we establish together during your complimentary consultation. This allows us to focus on your needs and deliver the highest level of care.

Your Insurance Benefits

We are “in-network” providers with all major insurances and our insurance specialists will prepare and file all the necessary paperwork on your behalf to make the process simple, convenient, and affordable. We will be able to verify your orthodontic benefits prior to your first appointment to be able to give you a clear financial picture of treatment. Our top priority is to deliver the highest levels of care and service.

Zero Down & Low Monthly Payment Plans Make Orthodontic Costs Affordable

For the percentage of treatment not paid for by insurance, and for patients without orthodontic benefits, we offer zero-interest financing and can offer zero down-payments and low monthly payments to work within your budget. A healthy bite and beautiful smile is an important investment in your future and finances should not be an obstacle to world class orthodontic care. Find great care, and get the best financing possible.

With Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics, you can use your HSA and FSA for eligible orthodontic treatment (Invisalign, braces, or other appliances) and retention (retainers).

What they are saying

"We recently moved to the Chesapeake area and needed an orthodontist that could continue treatment for our two kiddos. Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics made our transition seamless and even provided an Invisalign option. The staff is amazing and the facilities are top notch!"

Brandon Gilstrap
"This is an OUTSTANDING team of dental professionals. We are greeted with smiles every time and wait less than 5 minutes to be called back for our appointment. This is EXCEPTIONAL when compared to the usual, long waiting room wait in MANY practices. The changing seasonal themes is always surprising and enjoyable. THIS IS NOT THE USUAL MEDICAL FACILITY OFTEN VISITED. Doctors Frey and Hatcher are personable, very friendly and HAPPY to work with their patients. Theirs is the most pleasant office to visit and this team is competent and approachable all the time. I'd GIVE THEM A 10 if I could!"

Ann Lambert
"We absolutely LOVE Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics. I have 3 daughters who went through braces for about ten years (2002-2012). Now, I am wearing Invisalign. They have been consistently professional and offer the very best care. I highly recommend them."

Dawn Stephens
"We love Dr. Hatcher and Dr. Frey! They are super thorough when you go in for an evaluation, and give you pricing up front. I visited a different local orthodontist, who wouldn’t give a price until after we started... they are detailed in the plan and the outcome is terrific! It is a wonderful practice with an amazing team! I highly recommend them!!"

Eleanor Garver
"I can't tell you how astonished I was with the customer service, everyone here is affectionate, and kind. I feel respected and important here. I am a current patient with crowding problems; Invisalign was what I went with because It doesn't seem too much of a chore to keep up with rather than braces. Thanks Dr. Hatcher for your stunning care; I know I'm in good hands and can't wait to see a different smile in the near future. I hope if you've read this far you choose to come here even if you live far away; it's definitely worth the drive. I would recommend this to anyone who is in need of an orthodontist."

Jacob Andresen
"Got my braces off today after 29 months of wearing them. When I came to Dr. Hatcher back in June 2017, my teeth looked like they were beat by Negan's bat, Lucille, from TWD. Today, I am a brand new person that has been cured of my zombie teeth apocalypse! Thank you Dr Hatcher, Shawna, and the rest of the staff! Your hard work has paid off and will not be forgotten. I will think of you every time I smile."

Warren Dana Bowling Sr.
"Five stars I scheduled a consult after seeing photos of Dr Frey’s cases with early development utilizing Invisalign. I also felt orthodontics should start early not late and I wanted the best for my 5yr old twins. I was blown away with Dr Frey’s clinical skills, understanding of sleep apnea in children, his updated technology and ability to do digital scans instead of impressions totally shows his education and expertise, but my biggest compliment was how well they treated my family. It’s care that is surpasses any practice I’ve seen. Thank you for educating us and giving us a sound treatment plan."

Shannon Pace Brinker
"Dr. Hatcher is wonderful and the staff is exceptional! We have had a very positive experience here with both of our daughters. They go above and beyond and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for an orthodontist. They make you feel like family and the kids love going to their appointments. State of the art technology is used to transform smiles from good to great!"

Margot Nowlan Broglin
"Dr. Scott Frey is an amazing Orthodontist and very caring. The most important thing which many people don't understand is it's not just straightening your teeth but knowing your bite is right for the lifetime of functioning. It's well worth the investment and time to do it right, so it won't cost you even more down the road. I give him 5 stars!"

Marie Sawtelle
"What a great experience! We were referred to Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics by our pediatric dentist’s office and they are very helpful and professional. Couldn't have had a better team to help my now 13-year-old achieve her perfect smile."
