Orthodontic Costs and Payment Options in Auckland

Affordable Orthodontic Treatment in Auckland

At Shakespeare Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves a confident smile — and that includes making treatment affordable. We understand that the cost of orthodontic treatment in Auckland can be a concern for many families and individuals, which is why we’re upfront and transparent with our fees.

No hidden costs. No surprises. Just clear, honest pricing so you can make an informed decision about your treatment or your child’s care. Orthodontics may be complex — but understanding the costs shouldn’t be. We’ll help you find the right solution for both your smile and your budget.

What’s included in our costs?

We hate hidden/unexpected costs and charges, so we give you an all-inclusive price…it is that simple! Includes:

  • Consultation fees
  • Orthodontic records
  • Any additional consultations required before and during treatment
  • Orthodontic appliances or braces
  • Adjustments, materials and products
  • Retainers
  • After treatment reviews and follow-ups.

When shopping around for the best price for orthodontics, make sure you get a written quote from your orthodontist and make sure you are clear on who is doing the treatment – is it a specialist orthodontist or a dentist?

What Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost?

The cost of straightening your teeth in Auckland varies depending on the type of treatment and how complex your case is. For most of our patients, the total investment is around $9,800.

  • Metal Braces: $6,000 – $10,000
  • Ceramic Braces: $7,000 – $12,000

These figures include your initial consultation, a personalised treatment plan, regular adjustment appointments, and follow-up visits. Some extra costs may apply — for example, retainers once treatment is complete.

It’s difficult to give an exact price without a professional assessment because every smile is unique. The length of treatment, the complexity of tooth movement, and any extra dental work required can all influence the final cost.

There are also several types of orthodontic appliances — such as traditional metal, ceramic, and self-ligating systems — each with its own price range and benefits.

That’s why it’s important to see a specialist orthodontist. An experienced professional can assess your teeth, advise whether this kind of treatment is right for you, and recommend the most suitable system for your needs and budget.

What about Invisalign costs?

Invisalign treatments cost around the $7,500-10,500. In some situations, there are cases that specialists treat that can be much less than this, with fees that start around $4,500 on average.

However, this is a tricky question to answer as no two people’s teeth are identical. The complexity and duration of your treatment, as well as additional dental work required, all have an impact on the cost.

Also, there are many different types of Invisalign treatment: Invisalign Full, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Lite, Invisalign 7, Invisalign Go, and Invisalign Vivera retainers. You can appreciate that there is a huge range of costs for a patient.

Invisalign treatment can start at $400 dollars for retainers only, while for very difficult cases, costs can be in excess of $12,800 (e.g. for a case that requires bite and jaw corrections, and lengthy treatment).

This is why it is really important to see a specialist orthodontist who is experienced in Invisalign, who will advise you if treatment with Invisalign is right for you and which Invisalign treatment would be the most appropriate option.
