Frequently Asked Questions

How much do braces or Invisalign cost?

At Goldsberry Orthodontics, full treatment with braces or Invisalign costs between $5,200 and $5,600. Your exact cost depends on your specific case, which we review at your free consultation.

Do you offer payment plans or financing?

Yes. We offer in-house financing — no third-party lender. You make a down payment up front, followed by monthly payments, and our plans are interest-free for up to 24 months.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept all dental insurance plans. Our team helps you understand your orthodontic benefits and files your claims for you.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. Your first consultation is completely free, so you can meet our team, get your questions answered, and learn your options with no obligation.

Are there any discounts?

Yes. We offer a discount for paying in full, plus a multi-family discount for families enrolling more than one member in treatment.

Do you offer clear or ceramic braces?

We offer traditional metal braces. We don't offer ceramic or clear braces — but if you're looking for a discreet option, Invisalign's clear aligners are nearly invisible.

How long does treatment take?

Most full treatment cases take 18 to 24 months, whether you choose braces or Invisalign. Your exact timeline depends on your specific case.

Do you treat adults, or mainly children and teens?

We treat patients of all ages — children, teens, and adults. It's never too early or too late to start orthodontic treatment.

At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child's first orthodontic visit around age 7. Early evaluation lets us catch issues early — though treatment isn't limited to children, and many of our patients are adults.

What happens at the first visit?

At your first visit, we take X-rays and photos of your teeth, then create a treatment plan that best fits your needs and goals. The consultation is free with no obligation.

How often will I come in during treatment?

With braces, you'll visit us about every 6 weeks. With Invisalign, visits are about every 8 to 10 weeks.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

No referral is needed. You can schedule a consultation with Goldsberry Orthodontics directly.

Does getting braces or Invisalign hurt?

No. You may feel some discomfort or soreness for a few days afterward as your teeth begin to move, which is completely normal and temporary.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

Avoid anything sticky or hard — like caramel, gum, hard candy, ice, and nuts — since these can damage your brackets and wires.

What should I do in an orthodontic emergency?

Call our office and we'll schedule an emergency appointment to take care of you right away.

Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?

Yes. You'll wear a retainer after treatment, and it's important to keep wearing it long-term — teeth naturally shift throughout life, and a retainer keeps your new smile in place.

What makes Goldsberry Orthodontics different?

Goldsberry Orthodontics brings over 30 years of experience, state-of-the-art technology, and a family-friendly environment. We also offer state-of-the-art teeth whitening as part of our care.

Do you offer teeth whitening?

Yes. We offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Salt Lake City, Sugarhouse, and the surrounding Utah areas from our office at 2025 South 1300 East, Salt Lake City.

How do I choose the right orthodontist in Salt Lake City?

Look for a dedicated orthodontic residency (not just a general dentist offering braces), strong verified reviews, continuity of care with the same doctor throughout treatment, and a practice that offers both braces and Invisalign so the recommendation fits your case — not the practice's preferred system.
