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.
