All around Australia, families and individuals are experiencing financial hardship. At South Coast Orthodontics, we understand that life is a balancing act between what must be bought today, and what can be delayed till a later date. 

This is why we’re committed to being true-blue. 

First thing’s first. Let’s all agree that getting braces or Invisalign is an investment. It’s a decision that will impact your future in so many ways. From the medical and oral health benefits of straight teeth to the intangible confidence and self-esteem it brings, braces and Invisalign are investments. 

However, the worst investments always appear to be cheap upfront then slowly morph and snowball into untenable expensive investments. Any smart investor would tell you that if the price is too low or if it sounds too good to be true, then it’s questionable, and you’ll likely pay the price at a later date. Economists call this false economics. Ultimately, buying a cheap used secondhand bicycle is more expensive than buying a new one, because the cost of repairs could ultimately be greater. Additionally, the waste of time, anger, frustration and disappointment. 

Some practices may advertise cheap prices, only to disappoint and anger customers with additional mid-treatment costs. When it’s too difficult and laborious for you to shift to another dentist, they’ll swoop in with new additional costs that counter or outweigh any savings you initially thought you made. 

This is why we’re true blue. 

At South Coast Orthodontics, we’ll advise you upfront of the total treatment journey cost. We’ll clearly define what you’ll pay and what you’re paying for. Then, we’ll commit to this figure from the start of your journey till it ends. It’s part of our true-blue pricing policy. No surprises. No add-ons and no taking advantage of your vulnerabilities. 

Here are several true-blue reasons to select South Coast Orthodontics: 

1. Before we make any individual cost proposal for you, we prioritise your’s or your child’s safety. There is nothing more important than safety, and that any minor or major procedure we recommend must meet our highest safety standards. 

2. Following safety, our emphasis is on quality. Our nationally and internationally certified and qualified leadership, our decades of experience perfecting thousands of smiles, and our investment in advanced orthodontics technology means that you have all the factors in your favour.

3. We initially provide rough price guidelines, per below, so you can estimate the cost of your treatment plan. However, only after the initial free consultation and teeth examination can we provide you with our recommended options and detailed itemised plans with exact costs. This will vary amongst individuals due to factors such as tooth movement, bite correction and treatment duration. Our fees are fully inclusive of appliance fitting, ongoing adjustment appointments, appliance removal, retainers and follow-up appointments. As the tailored price is all-inclusive with no hidden costs, our customers can confidently and comfortably begin their journey knowing their exact financial position and commitment. Apart from our stellar reputation, this is the major financial reason why customers select South Coast Orthodontics. We’re 100% transparent and won’t shock you mid-treatment with sudden costs and payments.

4. We offer three different payment plans. Firstly, you can pay 100% upfront. Secondly, you can make monthly direct debit payments to us. South Coast Orthodontics will work with you to determine a deposit amount, and then divide the payments over the treatment period between 12-24 months. Thirdly, you can choose to be financially empowered by Denticare. 

5. What is Denticare? Denticare is a prominent financial solutions provider that enables new South Coast Orthodontics customers to progress with treatments, even if they don’t have the money upfront. Denticare has helped over 180,000 patients get the treatment they need. Our patients can now pay off their treatments such as braces and aligners over time with affordable, interest free repayments. Together with you, South Coast Orthodontics will decide on the payment plan including deposit, instalment amounts and frequency of payments. Our administration team will even help you complete the application process. 

Please note that Denticare is a third-party provider that reserves the right to adjust its pricing policies periodically. As a result, there may be minor fluctuations in prices at the time of your transaction. Rest assured, you will be promptly informed of any such changes.
