Orthodontics Costs and Fees
We strive to give you the best care at affordable rates. Our practice accepts most medical aids and payment plans are offered whereby you can pay off your braces while you are under treatment.
The first visit exam fee for new patients is R2900. At this visit a comprehensive evaluation is done and x-rays, photos and scans are taken and a treatment plan and quote is given to you for treatment.
The treatment fees can vary depending on treatment needs and types of braces chosen. This portion can be paid off in installments and will be outlined in your quotation. Standard metal braces can range up to R39000. Prices for other treatment modalities such as aligners, clear braces, lingual braces etc. will vary and are usually more expensive than standard metal braces.
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual orthodontic treatment needs, and this will be determined at your first consultation appointment. You will be given a quote and a treatment plan in writing for your orthodontic treatment at the first consultation visit so that you know what to expect before you start treatment. The fees for your orthodontic treatment are placed on a convenient payment plan, interest free. The payment plan is structured with an initial fee payment which is usually 25% of the total amount (due on the day the braces get placed on your teeth) and then the balance is paid off in monthly installments. The number of monthly installments will vary depending on the approximate length of your treatment.
If you have a medical aid, we will assist you with obtaining an authorisation and the medical aid can be billed directly by our practice. The authorisation will serve to let you know how much of funds your medical aid has to cover the cost of your orthodontic treatment so that you can budget in advance should your funds get exhausted in the middle of treatment. Please note that some medical aids do not cover treatment over a certain age, whilst others do not cover the full treatment fees or the rates may be lower than our fees. In these situations you will need to pay where your medical aid does not pay. Various payment methods are accepted for your convenience. We accept most medical aids, please call us to find out if we accept your medical aid plan.
