Community & Group Discounts

Every discount below applies to the total fee for comprehensive orthodontic treatment — metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Invisalign, or Angel Aligners. The discount is applied at the start of treatment and is reflected in both the contract total and every monthly payment. Bring valid ID or proof of service/employment to the first visit; the practice verifies on the spot.

THE PATIENT AND ANY OTHER PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT HAS A RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY, CANCEL PAYMENT, OR BE REIMBURSED FOR PAYMENT FOR ANY OTHER SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT THAT IS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF AND WITHIN 72 HOURS OF RESPONDING TO THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE FREE, DISCOUNTED FEE, OR REDUCED FEE SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT.

Free and discounted offers are available from November 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027.

Stacking & Discount Rules

One community discount per patient — the highest single amount applies. Bold Bite does not stack community-group discounts on each other. A patient who is both a teacher and a first responder receives one discount, not two. Current amounts are on our braces cost page. A military spouse who also works in healthcare receives the military discount, not both.

Insurance is separate. The community discount reduces the quoted treatment fee. Insurance benefits then reimburse against the discounted fee according to the patient’s plan. A military patient with PPO coverage receives both the discount and the full insurance benefit — those two levers do not compete.

Pay-in-full discount stacks. The pay-in-full discount is applied after the community discount when the treatment fee is paid in full at the start. So a teacher who pays in full receives both the teacher discount and the pay-in-full discount on the remaining balance.

Comprehensive treatment only. Community discounts apply to full courses of braces, Invisalign, and Angel Aligners started at Bold Bite. They do not apply to retainer replacement (Retainer Club has its own flat pricing), emergency-only visits, or appliances purchased separately.

No cash referral payments — ever. Florida’s Patient Brokering Act (FS 817.505) and anti-kickback statute (FS 456.054) make per-patient cash rewards a felony for healthcare providers. Community discounts are not referral incentives.

Valid proof at the first visit. Military ID, DD-214, school badge, hospital ID, department badge, full-time college enrollment, or family enrollment confirmation. The treatment-coordinator team verifies eligibility before the contract is signed; nothing is collected, copied, or stored beyond the verification check itself.

How to Apply Your Discount

Every patient who books a free new-patient consultation gets the same starting kit — a 3D CBCT scan, a digital intraoral scan, a full clinical exam, a doctor-led treatment-plan review, and a written pricing estimate. Patients who qualify for a community discount simply mention it when booking, bring proof to the first visit, and the discount is reflected in the written estimate before any decision is made.

1

Book the free consultation

Online at the page free orthodontic consultation or by calling the office. Mention the discount you qualify for so the scheduling team can flag the chart.

2

Bring valid proof to the first visit

Military ID, DD-214, or VA card; school badge or district ID; department badge or first-responder ID; hospital badge or professional license; current full-time college enrollment; or for the family discount, the practice already has the household record from the first patient.

3

Verification at check-in

The treatment-coordinator team verifies the proof before the doctors join the consultation. Verification is a single visual check — nothing is photographed, copied, or stored.

4

Discount appears on the written estimate

The pricing handout reflects the discount on the line above the contract total. Insurance estimates, monthly payment options, and the pay-in-full calculation are all run on the already-discounted fee.

5

Contract reflects the final number

Once the family chooses a treatment path, the contract is generated with the community discount, insurance estimate, and any pay-in-full reduction already applied. There is no surprise on day one.

Pay-in-Full Discount Explained

Patients who pay the full treatment fee at the start of treatment receive an additional pay-in-full discount. This stacks on top of the community discount.

Standard quoted fee, minus the teacher community discount, equals the fee after community discount

The fee after community discount, minus the pay-in-full discount, equals the total paid at start of treatment. Current fees are on our braces cost page.

For families who prefer monthly payments, Bold Bite offers in-house 0% APR financing with no credit check and no third-party processor. Monthly payments are spread across the active treatment timeline (typically 18–24 months) and are calculated on the post-discount fee. The community discount does not change with the payment path — only the pay-in-full discount is contingent on full payment up front.

For larger fees or longer payment plans that exceed the in-house program, Bold Bite also accepts third-party medical financing through Cherry (soft credit check, no hard inquiry, flexible terms). Cherry plans are calculated on the post-community-discount fee, the same as in-house financing. Visit the financial page for the full breakdown.

THE PATIENT AND ANY OTHER PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT HAS A RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY, CANCEL PAYMENT, OR BE REIMBURSED FOR PAYMENT FOR ANY OTHER SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT THAT IS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF AND WITHIN 72 HOURS OF RESPONDING TO THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE FREE, DISCOUNTED FEE, OR REDUCED FEE SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT.

Free and discounted offers are available from November 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine two community discounts?

No. Bold Bite applies one community-group discount per patient — the highest single amount wins. A patient who is both a teacher and a military spouse receives the military discount, not both added together. The reason is straightforward: these are not promotional coupons, they are eligibility-based recognition of service. A patient who qualifies under more than one category gets the full benefit of the highest single category, not a multiplier.

Insurance, pay-in-full, and the community discount are three separate levers and DO all apply at once. So a teacher with PPO coverage who pays in full gets the community discount, the full PPO benefit, and an additional pay-in-full discount on the post-discount fee.

What proof do I need to bring to the first visit?

One document is enough for each category. Military: active-duty ID, DD-214, VA health card, or current military spouse ID. Teacher: school badge, district ID, or recent pay stub from a Florida public, charter, or private K-12 school. First responder: department badge, certification card, or employer ID for police, fire, EMS, paramedic, or 911 dispatch. Healthcare worker: hospital or clinic badge, professional license, or recent pay stub from any healthcare facility (Mayo, Baptist, UF Health, Brooks, and the surgery centers all qualify). Student: current full-time college or university enrollment verification or student ID with a current sticker. Family: no extra proof; the practice verifies the household from existing patient records.

When is the discount applied to my account?

At the start of treatment, before the contract is signed and before the financing plan is calculated. The written estimate produced at the consultation visit already reflects the discount on the line above the total. The contract reflects the same number, and every monthly payment (or the pay-in-full total) is calculated against the post-discount fee. There is no rebate-style refund applied later — the discount is built into the contract from day one.

Does insurance still apply if I am using a discount?

Yes. Insurance and the community discount are independent. Bold Bite accepts all PPO orthodontic plans and files every claim on the patient’s behalf. The discount reduces the quoted fee; insurance then reimburses against the discounted fee. The patient sees the smaller out-of-pocket number on the contract.

Does the discount work with the pay-in-full and financing options?

Yes. The community discount is applied first, the in-house 0% APR financing or Cherry third-party financing is calculated on the post-discount fee, and patients who pay the full balance up front receive an additional pay-in-full discount on top of the community amount. So a Jacksonville first responder paying in full receives the community discount AND the pay-in-full discount on the remaining balance.

Do retired military, retired teachers, or retired first responders qualify?

Yes. Bold Bite honors military service regardless of current employment status. Veterans qualify with a DD-214 or VA card. Retired teachers qualify with a retired-teacher ID or proof of prior school employment. Retired police, fire, EMS, and 911 dispatch qualify with retirement credentials or a department-verified retiree ID. The discount honors the years of service, not the current pay stub.

What treatments qualify for the discount?

All comprehensive orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults: metal braces, clear ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, Invisalign, and Angel Aligners. Phase-1 interceptive treatment for children also qualifies, and the same eligibility carries forward to the phase-2 comprehensive course at the same discount level. Discounts do not apply to retainer-only cases (the Retainer Club has its own flat pricing), emergency-only visits, or single appliances purchased separately.

Are these discounts a referral or kickback program?

No. Florida law (Patient Brokering Act FS 817.505 and anti-kickback FS 456.054) makes per-patient cash referral payments a felony for healthcare providers. Bold Bite’s community discounts are eligibility-based recognition of service, not referral incentives — the patient qualifies because of who they are or what they do, not because they brought another patient through the door.

Is the consultation still free if I use a discount?

Yes — the new-patient consultation is always free. It includes a low-dose 3D CBCT scan, a digital intraoral scan, a full clinical exam by Dr. Marty or Dr. Cao, a doctor-led treatment-plan review, and a written pricing estimate with the community discount already applied. No deposit, no obligation. Vietnamese-language consultations are available with Dr. Cao on request.

Why Bold Bite Honors These Discounts

Bold Bite is locally owned and doctor-operated — not a corporate-managed group with a regional pricing committee. Dr. Marty Greenberg (DMD Cum Laude, Boston University; MS Orthodontics, Jacksonville University; ABO Board Eligible) and Dr. Trang Cao (DMD Summa Cum Laude, Boston University; CAGS Orthodontics, Jacksonville University; Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics) live in the Jacksonville Beach area, raise their kids here, and built the practice around the families their kids go to school with.

The community discounts on this page exist because the people who teach at Mayport Elementary, who run into burning houses on Atlantic Boulevard, who deploy from NAS Jax, and who staff Mayo Clinic, Baptist, and UF Health are the same families that walk through the door at 14035 Beach Boulevard. Treating them at a fair fee is not a marketing tactic — it is what a locally owned specialist practice in this neighborhood does.

Discounts are honored regardless of insurance status, regardless of which treatment is chosen (metal, clear ceramic, Invisalign, or Angel Aligners), and regardless of whether the patient is a child, teen, or adult. The free consultation is free for everyone, with or without a discount. Eligibility is verified once at the first visit and the discount is locked in for the full duration of treatment, including any phase-2 follow-up after a phase-1 interceptive course.
