Patient Info

Know the process and costs before you begin

We keep this simple. You will know what each step involves, what records are needed, and how fees are structured before treatment starts.

What to expect

  1. Initial consultation
  2. Diagnostic records
  3. Placement of braces
  4. Removal of braces
  5. After care and follow-up

Placement of braces is usually around one hour, including care instructions. Adjustment appointments are typically every 4 to 6 weeks.

Removal of braces is usually around one and a half hours, followed by retainer fitting. Updated records are taken, and before/after photos are provided.

Consultation fees

  • Initial consultation (30 minutes): $150
  • Diagnostic records (30 minutes): $350
  • If both are done on the same day: $400 total (time allowing)

Payment plans and financing

Fees vary with treatment complexity. Once your treatment plan is confirmed, we will explain the exact fee and payment options.

  • Typical deposit: 30 to 35 percent
  • Typical monthly automatic payment: $250 to $300
  • Interest-free instalment plans for comprehensive treatment
  • Discounts may apply for upfront payments and sibling treatment
  • Payment plans are generally not available for early treatment

Records and report timing

Photographs and 2 X-rays are used to create a definitive treatment plan. You will receive your report by email within 5 to 10 business days.

Retainers and follow-up

Retainers can be fixed wires or removable plates. After comprehensive treatment, follow-up can continue for up to 12 months depending on the case.

Teeth can shift after treatment, so retainers are an important part of long-term stability.

Other appliances and custom planning

Not everyone has the same orthodontic problem. Appliance choice is customised to the individual case, and costs and care steps are explained in advance.

Colour options for braces

The clinic uses coloured rubber rings with low-profile metal braces. Colours can be changed at adjustment visits.

Referral options

A referral from your general dentist or dental therapist is welcome, but not required. You can self-refer directly.
