aligner treatment varies based on how much your teeth need to move, how many aligners are required, and how long treatment takes. simple cases (mild crowding or small gaps) start at $2,250. more complex cases requiring more aligners over a longer period sit higher in the range. most patients pay around $3,850. after your free 3D scan, we'll give you a fixed quote — no estimates, no surprises.

most patients complete treatment in 6–18 months. simpler cases (small adjustments) can finish in as little as 4–6 months; more complex cases take 12–18 months. you'll get a specific estimate at your consultation, based on your scan.

if you have major dental or orthodontic cover with bupa, medibank, hcf, nib or others, your fund will typically contribute. we run hicaps on the spot and tell you your out-of-pocket before you commit. coverage varies — some funds rebate $1,000+, others less.

yes. we offer interest-free afterpay (split into 4 payments), plus payment plan partners that spread cost over 6–24 months. we'll walk you through options at your consultation.

at-home kits skip the in-person assessment, x-rays, and ongoing supervision — which is why they're cheaper but riskier. with smilogy, your treatment is planned and monitored by australian dentists, your scan happens in clinic (not via a home impression kit), and you have someone to call if anything goes wrong. the result is safer, more predictable, and supported.

typically just once for your initial scan and once for fitting. between visits, we monitor your progress through an app where you take quick photos weekly. if anything needs attention, we'll have you come in — but most patients only visit once or twice during their entire treatment.

yes — a retainer is included in your treatment price. teeth naturally try to shift back to their old position, so wearing a retainer (mostly at night) keeps your new smile in place long-term. ask about our retainers for life program at consultation.
