MyoMovement is a fee-for-service practice, which allows us to provide individualized, client-centered care without the limitations that can sometimes come with insurance-based models. We’ve found this helps us offer more personalized recommendations, greater flexibility in treatment planning, and a care approach that is truly based on each client’s needs rather than insurance restrictions.
If helpful, we can also provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan and is not guaranteed.
Initial evaluations generally range from $225–$375, depending on the type and complexity of the assessment.
Therapy programs are customized for each patient, and package options are available. In many cases, a full therapy program costs significantly less than traditional orthodontic treatment, often around one-third the cost of braces.
If you have questions about pricing or reimbursement options, our team is happy to help guide you through the process.
