Orthodontic treatment on the Gold Coast has always been rather expensive and there are so many options that it’s hard to know where to start. This article will try and give you some information about options for orthodontic treatment for kids and adults and how much it costs for braces and aligners on the Gold Coast.
When we speak to those in the community about cost of braces, most people are familiar with metal braces, clear braces and most have heard about clear aligners like Invisalign. They all essentially do the same thing. They are orthodontic tools to straighten teeth and improve the way your teeth bite together. It’s also important to know how to keep your teeth in alignment after braces. Let’s go through a few of these options.
Braces
The Gold Coast is blessed to have a lot of options when it comes to braces. There are metal braces, ceramic braces, cheap braces, fast braces, clear braces, gold braces and even braces that go behind the teeth, called lingual braces. All these options can make things confusing but just know they all work in a similar way by bonding brackets to the teeth with a wire inserted to activate the tooth movements. These wires are changed at your adjustment appointments to gradually straighten your teeth. Most braces on the Gold Coast cost between $6500-$8500. This can usually be paid for in full or on a payment plan.
Invisalign or Clear Aligners
In recent years, clear aligners also called clear braces, such as invisalign have become more and more popular with kids and adults looking to get orthodontic treatment in a more discreet way. Invisalign is a popular brand of clear aligners, but in the past few years there have been dozens of other clear aligner brands available on the Gold Coast including Spark that we use here. Clear aligners are thin, clear plastic trays that are worn over the teeth to gradually shift the teeth into a better position. They are removable so it’s important you remember to wear them or they won’t work. Some dental offices only treat adults with clear aligners because they believe that kids won’t wear them.
Clear braces or aligners are usually a little more expensive than braces and can cost anywhere between $6,000 and $10,000. Most practices offer options for financing braces that include a deposit and payment plan with weekly or monthly repayments.
The most common reason people don’t get braces or orthodontic treatment is because of the cost. But now there is an affordable way to straighten your teeth on the Gold Coast and take back control of your smile and confidence.
