Orthodontic Care for Children and Adolescents

Early orthodontic checks can help identify crowding and bite problems in children from as young as seven. However, children may not need treatment straight away. Instead, an early assessment helps Dr de Villiers track dental development and plan treatment at the right time.

André de Villiers Orthodontist Diep River for Adults

It is never too late to improve your smile. Adults can correct bite problems even if they did not have braces as teenagers. Depending on your needs and preference, you can choose traditional metal braces or discreet clear braces.

Braces and Treatment Options

Metal Braces: Metal braces remain the most common option. They use high-grade stainless steel, which provides durability and effective treatment.

Clear Braces: Clear braces use a translucent material for a more discreet look. The elastic ties around the brackets may discolour over time. However, the team can change these ties during each visit.

Payment Options and Treatment Costs

Orthodontic treatment is an investment, so the practice offers flexible payment plans. Treatment costs depend on the complexity and length of treatment. Each patient receives a customised treatment plan with a detailed cost estimate.

You can also pay for treatment monthly to help manage your budget. Alternatively, patients who prefer to pay upfront can receive a discount. After the first consultation and records assessment, the team emails a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate. They can also discuss payment options that suit your budget.

Dr de Villiers and his team look forward to helping you achieve a confident, healthy smile. Contact the practice today to schedule your consultation.
