Braces are a great investment in your oral health and confidence, but the cost can be a concern for many families. The good news is there are multiple ways to make orthodontic treatment more affordable in Australia. Here’s how:
1. Interest-Free Payment Plans
Many orthodontic clinics, including Broadbeach Orthodontics, offer no-interest payment plans. We partner with DentiCare, a trusted payment plan provider, to help you spread out the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments without any extra fees.
2. Private Health Insurance
If you have extras cover with your Australian health insurance, you may be able to claim a portion of the cost for braces. Different health funds offer varying levels of cover, so check with your provider about your orthodontic benefits, annual limits, and waiting periods.
3. Superannuation Access (Early Release of Super for Medical Reasons)
In some cases, you may be eligible to access your superannuation funds early to cover orthodontic treatment costs under compassionate medical grounds. This requires approval through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and support from a medical professional.
4. Early Treatment to Reduce Costs
Addressing orthodontic issues early can sometimes prevent more complex and costly treatments in the future. A consultation with an orthodontist can determine the best timing for treatment to potentially reduce overall expenses.
5. Family Discounts
Some orthodontic clinics in Australia offer family or sibling discounts when multiple family members undergo treatment. If you have more than one child needing braces, ask about discount options.
6. Buy Now, Pay Later with DentiCare
At Broadbeach Orthodontics, we offer DentiCare’s interest-free payment plans, allowing you to split the cost into smaller, more manageable payments with no hidden fees or interest.
