01In brief
How do you pay for orthodontic treatment?
Written costs before you start
Orthodontics is covered neither by RAMQ nor by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). The main ways to pay for it are private dental insurance, often with a lifetime maximum specific to orthodontics, and the payment and financing options offered for larger treatments. The costs may also qualify for the medical expense tax credit. At Go Dentiste, the cost of each option is given to you in writing before you start: 514-533-3368.
