Cost of braces in Sydney: a quick overview
At Vivaldi Smile Artisans, braces range from $4,500 to $11,000, depending on the complexity of your case, the length of treatment, and the type of braces you choose. Simpler cases, such as a single arch or minor correction, sit at the lower end, while complex full treatment reaches the upper end of the range.
Rather than a surprise at the end, you receive an all-inclusive written quote at your consultation, covering your treatment, appointments, and your retainers and retention phase. To make treatment manageable, interest-free payment plans start from $70 per week.
Your initial consultation is $100, and that fee goes towards your treatment if you begin on the same day.
What affects the cost of braces?
Several factors influence where your treatment sits within the range:
- Case complexity. Minor crowding or spacing costs less than correcting a significant bite problem or moving teeth a long distance.
- Treatment length. Longer treatment means more appointments and adjustments, which affects the fee.
- Type of braces. Traditional metal braces are typically the most affordable, ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces sit a little higher, and fully customised options like LightForce 3D-printed braces are at the premium end.
- Your individual treatment plan. Every mouth is different, which is why we provide a personalised quote rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
Types of braces and how they compare
- Metal braces. Reliable, effective, and the most cost-effective option. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than in the past.
- Ceramic braces. Tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your teeth for a more discreet look, a popular choice for adults and teens.
- LightForce 3D-printed braces. Fully customised, 3D-printed brackets designed for your individual teeth, our most precise and discreet fixed option.

Payment options and health fund rebates
We keep paying for treatment clear and flexible:
- Interest-free payment plans from $70/week, spread the cost over manageable instalments. A no-deposit finance option with weekly instalments is also available (interest, fees and approval criteria apply). We will walk you through the details and total costs at your consultation, or see our cost and finance page for more.
- All-inclusive quotes, your written quote covers treatment, appointments, retainers and retention, with no surprise add-ons.
- Health fund rebates, many Australian health funds contribute to orthodontic treatment if your extras policy includes it. We provide receipts with item numbers so you can claim. Rebates are set by your fund, so it is worth confirming your benefits with them.
