At SUMME Orthodontics, we are committed to providing high-quality orthodontic services and ensuring customer satisfaction. Users have specific rights regarding their accounts and payment situations that may determine their eligibility for refunds. The following criteria are tailored to SUMME's offerings, focusing on the nature of orthodontic care and services provided.

• Prepaid Services: If you have prepaid for orthodontic services and decide to discontinue treatment before all paid appointments are utilized, you may qualify for a refund for the unused portion, provided you adhere to our cancellation policy.
• Billing Discrepancies: In the event of a dispute over your account balance, such as an unexpected charge, we recommend reviewing your treatment plan and payment history. If the discrepancy is validated against our records, you might be eligible for a refund.
• Service Limitations: Should there be a situation where a scheduled appointment could not be performed due to unforeseen circumstances on our part, such as a closure for maintenance, this may also provide grounds for a potential refund or credit towards future services.
• Referral Programs: If you participated in one of our referral programs and the terms have not been met, you could be eligible for a refund for any associated fees or outstanding balances.
• Insurance Adjustments: Sometimes, adjustments from your insurance provider may result in an overpayment on your account. In such cases, a review of your insurance claims could lead to a possible refund of any excess payments made.

We encourage all users to reach out to our customer service team for further clarification on their specific situations, as they are available to assist you in understanding eligibility for refunds related to your orthodontic care with SUMME.

At SUMME Orthodontics, we understand that situations may arise where a refund is necessary. Here are some real user scenarios where clients successfully claimed refunds:
