(what to expect)

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The orthodontist will examine the teeth, jaws and bite and advise you of your treatment options.

The fee for initial consultation is $150 (30 minutes).

If full diagnostic records (Step 2) is taken on the same day as the initial consultation, the total fee is $400.

Retainers

Teeth has memory so they tend to want to move back to where they were. Retainers are either fixed wires or removable plates to help keep the teeth in their new position.

Step 2: Diagnostic Records

Photographs and 2 x-rays are required for a definitive treatment plan. You will receive a report via email within 5- 10 business days confirming the treatment plan and payment options.

The fee for the diagnostic records is $350 (30 minutes).

A $100 discount would be applied if Initial consultation and diagnostic records are done at the same appointment (if time allows). The total after discount is $400.

Step 3: Placement of braces

We offer different types of braces and customised appliances. Depending on what you need, the procedures may vary. However in most cases, approximately an hour appointment is required for the placement of braces including instructions on proper care of your teeth with braces. You will have to come in for adjustment of the appliances every 4-6 weeks until the treatment goal is achieved.

Step 4: Removal of braces

Approximately an hour and a half appointment is required. The braces and the adhesive on the teeth will be removed thoroughly and you'll be given fixed/removable retainers. Updated records will also be taken and you'll be given your before and after pictures.

Finances

Your investment in orthodontic treatment will bring lifelong rewards. As all orthodontic problems are different, fees will vary with the complexity of the case.

A full consultation and diagnostic records are required before we can quote the treatment fee. We offer interest free instalment payment plans. A 30-35% deposit would be required of a given set treatment fee, and $250-$300 paid as automatic monthly payments.

Comprehensive orthodontic treatment: We offer discounts for full upfront payments, multiple child/sibling discounts and interest free payment plans with monthly instalments.

Payment plans are not available for early orthodontic treatment, however, let us know if you need one and we might be able to help.

Other appliances

Not everyone has the same problems with their teeth and therefore the treatment is customised to the individual's requirement. There are a variety of appliances that we use to treat different problems. You will always be fully informed on the procedures, costs and care involved.

Early Treatment & Space Maintainers

Some cases benefit from early orthodontic treatment, before all the adult teeth are through.

Colour Galore

We use coloured rubber rings with low profile metal braces. There's a wide range of colours to choose from, take your pick! The coloured rings are changed at every adjustment visits.
