Cost of Treatment
We have aligned our cost structure with the Discovery Medical Scheme Premier A tariffs.
The first consultation, inclusive of all the records, amounts to +/-R4250 in 2024.
Depending on the severity, the cost of braces treatment can vary from R8000 to R75000. It depends on the complexity of the treatment required, as well as the request of the patient for a more aesthetic solution.
Before any treatment is commenced, we will give you a detailed quotation and payment structure for you to decide on whether you would like to continue your treatment with us. We have an open discussion platform regarding finances.
Note that after braces removal, the stage of treatment called “Retention” starts, which simply means maintaining your teeth in their new position with plates. This amounts to roughly R8000 and is charged after braces treatment completion.
