OrthoPulse Price in 2025: Real Costs, What Affects It, and Whether It’s Worth It (Richmond, VA)

Quick answer on OrthoPulse price: most orthodontic offices offer OrthoPulse as a paid add-on, but as of 2025 the device is listed new through some distributors at about $127. In‑office pricing can be higher depending on bundling, service, warranty, and support. At Horsey Orthodontics in Richmond, your final OrthoPulse price is customized to your treatment and discussed during your consult.

What is OrthoPulse and how does it work?

OrthoPulse uses near‑infrared light to help teeth move more efficiently during orthodontic treatment. Most patients use it 10 minutes per day (about 5 minutes per arch) alongside clear aligners or braces.

  • Historical in‑office add‑on/practice pricing: commonly $499–$895 (prior to 2024)

Is OrthoPulse worth it?

It can be, especially if you’re consistent daily. Benefits often cited include potential time savings, comfort, and app‑based reminders. Results vary by biology and adherence. If you’re using aligners or Invisalign, OrthoPulse can be a convenient at‑home addition to your routine.
