A well-aligned jaw is essential for a beautiful smile and vital functions like chewing, speaking, and sleeping comfortably. For severe bite issues, orthodontic treatment may be combined with corrective jaw surgery to improve function and facial harmony. Our expert orthodontist evaluates each case to determine if surgery is necessary or if non-surgical options can achieve the desired results.

Common questions about orthodontic treatment
How much do braces cost in Calgary?
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment chosen. At Big Sky Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile. That's why we offer flexible payment plans with monthly options as low as $250 to fit your budget. During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your specific treatment needs, with no hidden fees or surprises.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage, typically covering a portion of treatment costs. We provide detailed cost breakdowns and all necessary documentation for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. While we don't bill insurance directly, we're experienced in helping families understand their coverage and maximize their benefits. During your consultation, we'll explain how your specific plan works and answer any insurance questions you may have.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care affordable for every family. We work with your budget to create a payment schedule that fits your needs, with options for low down payments and monthly payments.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients wear braces for 18-24 months. Clear aligner treatment typically takes 14-18 months for mild to moderate cases. During your consultation, Dr. Van Sant will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific needs.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows us to identify potential issues and determine the optimal time for treatment.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive examination, digital imaging, and consultation with Dr. Van Sant. We'll discuss your concerns, explain your options, and answer all your questions. Consultations are completely free and take about 45-60 minutes.

Do you offer any discounts or special pricing?
Yes! We offer special discounts for families with multiple children in treatment, as well as continued care discounts for patients who complete early-phase treatment and continue to comprehensive treatment. We believe in rewarding loyalty and making orthodontic care accessible for the whole family. Ask about our family discounts during your consultation.
