Braces in Lubbock You Can Actually Afford
$100 down · $225 a month · $5,500 total, clear retainers included
That’s not a promotion, and it’s not “$1,000 off” some price we never mention. That’s just our price, published right here for everyone. Pay in full up front and your total drops to $5,000.
Why We Publish Our Prices (and Others Don’t)
If you’ve shopped for braces in Lubbock, you’ve seen the ads: “$1,000 off! $2,000 off braces!” Here’s the question nobody answers: off of what? Families sit through consultations, put down $800 to $1,000, and walk out owing thousands more. When they finally find out, it’s often $6,000, $7,000, or more.
We do it differently. Dr. Menlove starts about 15 braces cases every month, and every single family knows the full price before they sign. When your price is fair, you don’t have to hide it.
Four Options. One Honest Price Sheet.
All four include every adjustment visit and clear retainers at the end. No add-ons, no surprises.

Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Plenty of offices push clear aligners. Here’s what they don’t explain: the aligner labs charge dental offices the entire lab fee up front, often more than $1,000 per case. That’s why aligner down payments are generally much higher.
