Post-Treatment Options

Home » Orthodontic Resources » Post-Treatment Options

Your orthodontic treatment plan includes six months of follow-up visits and one final set of retainers to help ensure that your orthodontic result and investment are maintained.

In addition, we offer Retainer Insurance and Teeth Whitening.  Please see below for details.

Retainer Insurance Plan

We understand that keeping up with your retainers can be tough.  To help, our team offers a Retainer Insurance Plan for $780.

This plan covers the cost of lost or broken retainers for 5 years, starting on the day that your appliances are removed. Patients treated with both braces and aligners are eligible for this plan.

Key benefits of this plan include:

  • An additional set of retainers at your 6-month dismissal appointment
  • Significant savings in the event of lost or broken retainers
  • Up to 4 replacement retainers per year
    • Additional retainers per year will be $50 each
  • Our office visit fee of $75 will be waived during the 5 years of coverage for each visit.

The usual costs for retainers and office visits are:

  • $175 per each clear retainer
  • $175 per each bonded fixed retainer or repair
  • $75 per each office visit

*In the event retainers are not worn and tooth movement has occurred, an additional fee for orthodontic treatment may be necessary.  

To ensure efficient retainer delivery, please bring your 3D-printed model to your appointment.

This retainer plan is exclusive to the practice of Sherman and Balhoff Orthodontics.

Teeth Whitening Systems

We have 3 whitening options.

  1. A one-hour Philips Zoom teeth whitening in-office treatment – $500 – (includes whitening trays and whitening gel) 
  2. Whitening trays and whitening gel – $179
  3. GO Whitening – $79

All of the staff and doctors at Sherman & Balhoff are fantastic. They spend time getting to know their patients and do fantastic orthodontic work! We have been pleased for all of our girls to use them. My husband even had his orthodontic work done here many years ago!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that our team has made such a positive impact on your family and that you trust us with your orthodontic needs. Your support means a lot!
Kegelle S.
I went for my consultation on Wednesday to the prairieville location. I was very satisfied on the professionalism shown to me by staff. Although I live in Baker, La I work closer to the prairieville location which is why I chose them. I was informed for my future visits I’d can go to other location but I’d rather continue to go to prairieville regardless.
You chose them you won’t be disappointed, I wasn’t.
Looking forward to next visits.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
Erica D.
The entire staff is so caring at Sherman & Balhoff. Three of our children have been in treatment there. Their smiles are amazing from their treatment with Dr. Balhoff.

At our most recent visit, I received an important medical call regarding one of my children. The phone conversation made me a little teary-eyed, but Cassie was so kind after I got off the phone. She sincerely wished us luck with our medical issue, and I could see her earnest compassion.

A week after that visit, I received a beautiful surprise flower bouquet at my door. The card read, "Our prayers are with you and your daughter. Sending a little brightness and lots of love."-Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics

Thank you Cassie, Dr. Balhoff, and everyone at Sherman & Balhoff! Beautiful smiles and so much more!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your heartfelt review, Erica. We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with our team. Your family's smiles are our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us during challenging times.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Ashley. We're glad we could support you and your daughter during such a challenging time. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We're here for you whenever you need us!
H N.
Our youngest got her braces this morning and we had a wonderful experience at Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics. Alexis and Dr. Sherman were incredibly attentive, patient, and kind. They explained every step clearly, which really helped. She felt comfortable and well cared for the entire visit. She was actually here back in 2018 with her older brother and now she’s a patient in the chair herself. Alexis also gave us a care bag and took the time to show us how to use everything, which we really appreciated. We truly appreciate the professionalism and great communication from the whole team. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your youngest had a positive experience with us. Our team strives to provide attentive care and clear communication. We appreciate your recommendation!

My daughter just got braces at Sherman and Balhoff Prairieville's office. We are very pleased with the way the entire process. The staff are excellent! Very friendly, caring, and professional.

From the very first time you walk though the door, it is a wonderful experience. The staff are all friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We have a wonderful experience every time and cannot recommend this practice highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review. Having wonderful people like you in our office makes our days spectacular!
Davia W.
The absolute best! We were recommended by my children’s dentist and the office was directly next door (Prairieville location). The entire office staff is amazing and very personable which had me sold from the consultation. My son started treatment in Aug 2024 and so did I Dec 2024. The reviews definitely match the experience and I’d recommend over and over again!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Davia! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son have had such positive experiences with us. Our team strives to provide exceptional service, and your recommendation means the world to us. We look forward to continuing to support you both throughout your treatment!
Carly D.
After having my braces off for only 7 months from a previous orthodontist, I switched to S&B after not being happy with my results and incomplete treatment. One of the best decisions I've made. Great with time management, quick and easy appointments, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Carly! We're thrilled to hear that switching to Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics has made such a difference for you. Our team is dedicated to providing efficient and friendly service, and your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support your orthodontic journey!
Allison K.
They are amazing with everyone. My daughter just had braces put on in May and they have been wonderful with questions, etc.
Response from the owner:Allison thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!
Dana G.
I used Sherman and Balhoff myself as an adult and now my daughter is a patient there. They are the best and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Sherman even came back after closing because my daughter was having an issue with her bite after getting her braces put on. He was so very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Response from the owner:Dana thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
