The EO Moms & Pops Program

As an orthodontist and a dad, I spend a lot of time talking with parents in our clinic and out in our community. Day in and day out, I see moms and dads doing their very best to answer the call as parents to put their kids first. Bravo, moms & pops!

Whether it’s driving back and forth to soccer practice, helping with late-night homework, or making sure loved ones get to their orthodontic appointments on time, parents are constantly giving their all and sacrificing much. And so often, when we talk about smile goals, I’ll hear a mom or dad say something like, “I’d love to straighten my own teeth or fix my alignment, but maybe after the kids are done with their braces.”

I get it. Putting your children’s needs ahead of your own is a natural instinct and appropriate. But as we recently celebrated sixteen years of serving our community, I wanted to ask a serious question: How can we make it less of a burden for moms & dads to achieve their own smile goals? The fact is, if you’re *already* making trips to an orthodontic practice, it very well might just be the perfect time to get your work done, too.

Thus, as a way to recognize, thank, and celebrate our own moms & dads, we created the EO Moms & Pops Program, a permanent new initiative at Ernstberger Orthodontics designed to break down financial barriers, save busy families time, and give a little love back to the parents who do so much for everyone else.

Conveniences, Time Savings, and Unique Bonding

When you really break it down, the most logical and convenient time for a mom or dad to get orthodontic treatment isn’t years down the road, it’s right now, at the same time as your child!

Thinking about the practical side of it:

• Fewer Trips: You are already driving to our office for your child’s routine checkups. Getting your own adjustments or aligner check-ins during the same visit saves you valuable time, something we could all use a little more of. Ultimately, this adds up to less driving, less missed work, and fewer overall trips to EO.
• Shared Motivation: Doing treatment together turns routine orthodontic care into a fun, memorable journey. Many of our parent-child duos tell us that going through braces or clear aligners at the same time creates a unique, cool bonding experience. You get to compare progress, cheer each other on, and celebrate milestone improvements together!

In everything we do at EO, we try to prevent orthodontic care from feeling like an isolating chore or an overwhelming financial burden. It should be an exciting, life-altering experience that brings families together, and that’s what we’ve further strived to create with our EO Moms & Pops.

Part of Our Flexible, Ultra-Friendly Financing

We firmly believe that high-quality, family-centered orthodontic care shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg, and further reduce the burden of expense by making payment plans comfortable & accommodating. As part of our commitment to even more than ever flexible, ultra-friendly financing, we built exclusive perks directly into the EO Moms & Pops Program to make starting your own smile journey super easy and less financially stressful.

If you are a parent of a patient currently in active treatment—or one who recently completed treatment with us—here is how our ultra-friendly financing works for you:

• Special Savings: Choose between $300 off your total treatment OR a Free Upgrade to clear braces (an equivalent value)..
• Ultra-Low Down Payment: Get started with just $100 down for braces or $500 down for clear aligners. These down payments are meant to be the lowest in the area!
• Ultra-Low Monthly Payments: Enjoy flexible, budget-friendly payments starting at just $150 a month. We will work with you to figure this out! Everything is up for discussion.

We designed these options specifically to reduce the most common financial hurdles so you can enjoy conveniences, shared memories, and significant time savings of joint treatment without stressing your budget.

A Permanent Commitment to Our Community

This isn’t a temporary promotion or a short-term, seasonal gimmick. The EO Moms & Pops Program is a permanent offering at Ernstberger Orthodontics.

As an independent, 100% family-owned practice, setting ourselves apart means fostering real community, building genuine relationships, and creating thoughtful programs that truly help our neighbors. Parents deserve more special recognition and opportunities than they often get—but not at EO!

If you’ve been putting your own smile goals on the “back burner,” let this be your invitation to put yourself back in the frame. It’s officially your turn to smile right alongside your kiddo!
