Do you offer Invisalign in Remuera?
Looking for Invisalign in Remuera? We offer specialist-planned clear aligners using the Clarity and Angel Aligners systems, chosen case by case. We treated patients with Invisalign in the past and no longer use that brand. The planning and monitoring are done by a specialist orthodontist rather than handed to a lab or an app, and we are happy to talk you through how the systems compare.
How much do braces cost for a Remuera family?
Fees are the same wherever you live. Simple cosmetic treatment starts from $7,900 and comprehensive specialist treatment from $9,900, all-inclusive of records, appliances, every appointment, retainers and aftercare. Children's early treatment starts from $4,500. A full diagnostic work-up with a written plan and your exact quote is $390, and interest-free in-house payment plans are available.
When should a child from Remuera first see an orthodontist?
Around age seven is the usual guide. At that age the first adult teeth are through and we can see how the jaws are growing, which is when simple early treatment is most useful. Most children who come at seven need nothing yet and we simply keep an eye on them. Booking early costs you nothing, because the first step is free.
