Adult Braces Cost in Sydney: What Affects the Price
Adult braces in Sydney cost $4,500 to $11,000 at Vivaldi Smile Artisans, and adult Invisalign $4,000 to $11,000, both all-inclusive, covering your appliances, every appointment, remote monitoring and your retainers.
Where you sit in that range depends mostly on how much movement your teeth need. Here is what actually drives the price, and what is included.
How Much Do Adult Braces Cost in Sydney?
At Vivaldi Smile Artisans, adult braces are $4,500 to $11,000 and adult Invisalign $4,000 to $11,000, all-inclusive. Simple cases, minor crowding or spacing, sit at the lower end; complex bite corrections sit higher.
Your exact fee is confirmed by Dr Vivaldi after your consultation, and it does not change afterwards, because everything is included in the one figure.
Costs by Treatment Type
- Metal braces: $4,500 to $11,000, the most economical fixed option
- Ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces: $4,500 to $11,000, less visible, same range
- LightForce 3D-printed braces: within the braces range, with brackets custom made for each tooth
- Invisalign clear aligners: $4,000 to $11,000, removable and discreet Cost follows the complexity of your case more than the appliance you choose, which is why the ranges overlap.
What Actually Affects Your Price
Three things move the number.
Complexity: how far your teeth need to move and whether your bite needs correcting, by far the biggest factor.
Treatment length: longer treatment means more monitoring and more adjustments, and it follows complexity.
What is included: at Vivaldi, everything, your appliances, all appointments, DentalMonitoring between visits, refinements if needed, and your retainers. When comparing quotes elsewhere, check what happens after the headline figure: retainers, monitoring and refinements are often billed separately.
Payment Plans From $70 a Week
In-house interest-free plans start from $70 per week. A no-deposit finance option with weekly instalments is also available (interest, fees and approval criteria apply); we walk you through the details and total costs at your consultation. See our cost and finance page.Is It Worth Getting Braces as an Adult?
Teeth move at any age, and adults are one of the fastest-growing groups in orthodontics. Beyond appearance, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean and place less uneven load on your bite.
Many of our adult patients had treatment as teenagers and are correcting drift that happened over the years, which is often shorter than the original treatment. See our adult orthodontics page.
Does Health Insurance Cover Adult Braces?
Many extras policies contribute to orthodontic treatment, with the amount depending on your fund, your level of cover, and your annual and lifetime limits. We give you the item numbers so you can check exactly what you would get back before you commit.
