braces teeth correction costs Gold Coast Robina TIPS...

It is exceedingly difficult to get an estimate on a teeth straightening treatment whether it be over the phone or searching online perusing through the abyss of information out there. It is also frustrating as an orthodontist as we would like nothing better than to give you a definitive and firm price however it’s near impossible to determine the full cost of braces or other means in which to advise the patient without an initial consultation.
This is because the cost of orthodontics depends on several factors including the duration and complexity of treatment and the type of treatment you choose.
That said, here are some tips and guide for what you can expect to pay for an off the shelf full course of orthodontic treatment:
Metal or Ceramic braces: $6,000 – $9,000
Lingual braces: $9,500 – $15,000
Clear aligners: $6,500 – $9,500
These fees may differ if other appliances are needed in conjunction with braces, such as expansion plates, anchorage implants or bite correcting springs.
* Note these prices are typically for a 15 to 18 month treatment period that not only straightens teeth, but helps to correctly align the jaw as well, and includes the cost of regular consultations to monitor the progress of your treatment.
There are also other stop gap treatments that could be considered where it reduces the length of the treatment to 6 months as well as costs ranging from $3,500 – $6,000.  This type of treatment can help improve the look of your smile in the short term, but without addressing the underlying irregularities of the jaw and bite, may lead to ongoing discomfort, complications, or relapse.
Bottom line is that there are many ways in addressing your personal circumstances and with a tailor made financial payment plan, could well decide the best solution in the long run.
