Orthodontic fees depend on the treatment you choose, how complex your case is, how long it is expected to take and which retainers you need. Braces fees vary widely from case to case, so we give you a written estimate after your assessment. Payment plans are available, subject to approval.

Straightening teeth is a long-term investment, and the cost does not have to land all at once. We offer humm and Afterpay, subject to approval. See our payment options.

Why it matters

What orthodontic treatment can correct

Orthodontic treatment moves teeth, and sometimes guides the jaws, into a healthier position. It is not only about looks. Teeth that line up properly are easier to clean, wear more evenly and share the load of chewing. Concerns we commonly assess include:

Crowded or crooked teeth, where there is not enough room in the arch
Gaps between teeth
Overbites, where the upper front teeth sit too far over the lower ones
Underbites, where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth
Open bites, where the front teeth do not meet when you bite together
Crossbites, where upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth

Straightening can make brushing and flossing more effective, which lowers the risk of decay and gum disease, and correcting a bite can reduce uneven wear on the teeth.

Who provides treatment

Do I need a specialist orthodontist?

Not always. Specialist orthodontist is a separate title in Australia, registered with AHPRA by dentists who have completed further university training. Odontologie is a general dental practice: our dentists are general dentists who provide orthodontic treatment, including braces and clear aligners, for many everyday alignment and bite concerns.

Where a case is complex, for example a significant jaw discrepancy, we will explain that plainly and can refer you to a specialist. You leave your assessment knowing which path makes sense for you.

Many patients choose a general practice for straightening because it keeps everything in one place. Your check-ups, cleans and orthodontic visits happen with the same team, in the same building, with parking at the front and back.

Your options

Our orthodontic options

Every plan starts with an assessment. These are the treatments we use, and each card links to a page with the full detail.

Traditional braces

Metal, ceramic, clear or self-ligating brackets joined by an archwire. Fixed in place, so they work all day and give close control for complex movements.

Learn more

Clear aligners

A series of clear, removable trays made from a 3D scan. Discreet and easy to clean around, worn 20 to 22 hours a day.

Learn more

Children's orthodontic check

An early look at how your child's teeth and jaws are developing, ideally around age 7, as part of a regular children's dental visit.

Retainers

Removable clear retainers or a fine bonded wire, fitted when active treatment ends to stop teeth drifting back.

How it works

How orthodontic treatment works

Whether you end up in braces or aligners, the path at our Lansvale practice has four stages.

Free smile consultation

We examine your teeth, gums and bite, listen to what you want to change and explain the realistic options. If braces and aligners would both work, we compare them side by side.

Records and planning

We take X-rays and a digital scan or photos, then plan the tooth movements needed. You receive a written plan with a fee estimate and an expected timeframe.

Active treatment

Braces are fitted and adjusted every several weeks, or aligners are issued in stages with short progress checks. We keep an eye on your gums and cleaning along the way.

Retention

Once teeth reach their planned position, braces come off or the last aligner is finished, and we fit retainers to hold the result while the surrounding bone settles.

Children

At what age should a child have an orthodontic check?

We suggest a first orthodontic check at around age 7. By then the first adult molars and front teeth have usually come through, and a dentist can see how the jaws are growing and whether there is likely to be enough room for the rest of the adult teeth.

Most children seen at that age do not need treatment straight away. The value of the check is timing: some problems, such as a crossbite or a narrow upper jaw, are easier to guide while a child is still growing, and an appliance that works with that growth may be suggested. Others are simply monitored at regular visits until the right time to start.

If your child already sees us for check-ups, this is folded into their usual appointment. Read more about visits for younger patients on our children's dentist page.

Teens and adults

Braces or clear aligners?

Teenagers are often at a good stage for treatment because the jaws are still developing and most adult teeth are in. Both braces and aligners can work; braces are fixed, so they suit teens who might forget to wear trays.

Adults can have orthodontic treatment at any age if their teeth and gums are healthy. Many adults prefer aligners because they are discreet and come out for meals and work events. Others choose ceramic or clear braces.

In short:

Choose braces if you want a fixed appliance that works without daily effort, or have complex movements to correct
Choose clear aligners if you want a removable, low-visibility option and can wear trays 20 to 22 hours a day

Patients travel to us from Canley Vale, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, Edensor Park, Wetherill Park and Bankstown. Cabramatta is about 1 km from our door. Appointments run Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, which makes it easier to fit adjustment visits around school, study and work.

Good to know

Orthodontic Treatment - frequently asked

Can I have a check-up and clean while I have braces?

Yes, and it is a good idea. Brackets and wires make it harder to clean every surface, so regular check-up and clean visits help protect your enamel and gums during treatment. Because we provide both, those visits can be booked at the same practice.

At what age should a child see a dentist about their bite?

Around age 7 is a good time for a first orthodontic check. Treatment is not usually needed that early, but the check shows whether growth needs watching or guiding.

Braces or clear aligners: which is better?

Neither suits everyone. Braces are fixed and give close control for complex movements. Clear aligners are removable and discreet but rely on 20 to 22 hours of daily wear. We recommend one at your consultation based on your teeth and lifestyle.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

Clear aligner treatment starts from $7,000. Braces fees depend on the type of brace, the complexity of the case and the length of treatment, so we give you a written estimate after your assessment. Payment plans are available, subject to approval.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

It depends on the movements needed. Small corrections can take months, while full braces treatment is commonly between 12 months and three years. Your plan includes an estimated timeframe before you start.

Can orthodontic treatment help with jaw pain?

Correcting an uneven bite can reduce strain and uneven wear in some people, but jaw pain has many causes. We look at your bite, teeth and jaw joints at your assessment and explain whether straightening is likely to help.

Will I need a retainer afterwards?

Yes. Every orthodontic patient needs retainers, because teeth naturally try to move back. We explain whether a removable or bonded retainer suits you, and how often to wear it.
