Orthodontics in Randwick

person holding up clear alignerA stunning, aligned smile is one of the best accessories anyone can possess. If your teeth are crooked, gapped or crowded, you may be reluctant to smile. At our Randwick practice, we offer effective smile-straightening solutions.

Not only can orthodontics give you a straight smile, but you can enhance your appearance and have a healthier mouth.
  • Invisalign®: As a global leader in clear orthodontics, Invisalign is a favourite aligner system for many reasons. Because Invisalign is practically transparent, you can straighten your smile discreetly. The aligners are also removable so you can enjoy your favourite foods. You won’t have to be concerned with food particles getting stuck between metal braces.

Boost Your Confidence

When you have a straight and beautiful smile, you will likely smile more and engage in conversation with others. You will feel better about yourself and welcome having your photo taken. Greater self-confidence also can help you in your professional and personal life.

Orthodontics Cost and Financing

We accept HICAPS insurance plans and feature financing through DentiCare and Afterpay. Because we provide clear estimates, you will know exactly what fees are involved before you ever agree to treatment.

If you have a Health Fund, you can contact them and learn in advance the rebate amount for the item number for the orthodontic treatment. It would usually be one of the following item numbers: 825 for the upper jaw, and 825 for the lower jaw.
