If you’re considering braces or Invisalign in Richmond—especially in areas like Short Pump or near Gaskins Road—one of the first questions that comes up is cost. And more importantly: what’s actually included?
How Much Do Braces Cost in Richmond, VA?
The cost of braces in Richmond varies depending on your specific treatment needs. However, at Gardner & La Rochelle Orthodontics, pricing is all-inclusive—covering everything from your initial digital scan to your final retainers and one full year of follow-up care.
This means no surprise fees and no unexpected add-ons along the way.
What Does “All-Inclusive Orthodontic Treatment” Really Mean?
Not all orthodontic offices structure their pricing the same way. Some quote a lower upfront cost—but add fees later for essentials.
At GLO Orthodontics, your treatment typically includes:
- Initial consultation and 3D digital scans
- All adjustments and progress visits
- Custom appliances (braces or aligners)
- Final retainers
- One year of post-treatment retention checks

Flexible Financing That Fits Your Life
Cost shouldn’t be the reason you delay treatment. That’s why Gardner & La Rochelle Orthodontics offers multiple ways to make your investment manageable.
Interest-Free In-Office Financing
- Spread payments out over time
- No added interest
- Simple auto-payment options
Insurance Made Easy
- In-network with Delta Dental
- Files claims for most other insurance providers
- Helps maximize your available benefits
Use Your HSA or FSA
Orthodontic treatment is an eligible expense for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
This is especially useful for:
- Year-end benefit planning
- Reducing out-of-pocket costs with pre-tax dollars
Why Expertise Is Worth the Investment
It’s tempting to compare orthodontic treatment purely on price—but that can be misleading.
Lower-cost options like mail-order aligners often:
- Lack in-person supervision
- Miss underlying bite issues
- Lead to additional costs later for corrections
Working with a specialist ensures:
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Ongoing adjustments for optimal results
- A healthy, functional bite—not just straight teeth
If you’re weighing your options, the patient FAQ page addresses common concerns about treatment, costs, and outcomes.
The True Value of All-Inclusive Care
When you look beyond the initial price, comprehensive orthodontic care offers:
- Predictable total cost
- Fewer unexpected expenses
- Higher-quality, longer-lasting results
It’s not just about affordability—it’s about value and peace of mind.
