We realise that the cost of braces is not easy for a lot of patients. In fact, we believe in being transparent with our charges. This allows you to make an informed decision about the treatment you are considering for yourself or for a family member. Orthodontics is complicated… so let’s make one aspect of it a lot easier!

Plates
$1800-4,800
Depending on the problem being corrected, this treatment option may be the only treatment required. Costs vary depending on the complexity of the design, the nature of the problem, the duration of treatment and the number of visits required.

Braces
$6,800+
The costs of braces vary as the treatments are individualised and vary from one person to another. Some practices have extra costs and charge extra for ceramic (clear) brackets…we believe in giving our patients options and charging a standard fee. So, if you are choosing metal or clear brackets, the same fee applies.

Invisalign
$9,800+
Invisalign is a clear aligner system and is a great alternative to conventional braces for some patients – especially adult patients who have had braces treatment in the past and are looking for a different way to get results. Trust a specialist orthodontist to get it right!
