Orthodontic Care for Children and Adults

Early orthodontic checks can identify crowding and bite problems in children as young as seven. Children may not always need treatment right away. An early check helps the team plan future care.

For adults, it is never too late to improve a smile. Even without braces as a teenager, adults can still correct their bite. They can choose metal braces or clear braces, depending on their preference.

Braces at André de Villiers Orthodontist Oranjezicht

Metal braces are the most common option. They use high-grade stainless steel for durability and effectiveness. Clear braces use a translucent material and offer a more discreet option. However, the elastic ties over the brackets may discolour over time. The team can change these ties at each visit.

Payment Options and Treatment Costs

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

Patients can pay monthly or upfront. Upfront payment comes with a discount. After the initial consultation and records assessment, emails patients a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate. The team also discusses payment options that suit each budget.
