Why Are We Able to Offer More Affordable Braces for Kids?

The cost of braces can vary between providers and from child to child, depending on factors such as the complexity of care, expected treatment time and individual needs.

At Burwood Dental Centre, we aim to make orthodontic care more accessible for families while still providing each child with an individualised treatment plan based on their teeth, bite and development.

I want families who walk through our door to feel they can have an open conversation about braces, including what their child may need and what it may cost.

— Dr Fensuny Chan

What Shapes Your Child’s Final Fee

Children’s braces at Burwood Dental Centre typically range from $5,500 to $7,500, depending on your child’s individual needs and the complexity of their care.*

Factors that may influence the final fee include:

• The type and complexity of tooth movement required
• Your child’s bite and orthodontic needs
• The expected length of treatment
• The level of monitoring required throughout care

That’s why we prefer to assess your child before providing a final treatment fee rather than offering a one-size-fits-all quote.

At the consultation, Dr Fensuny Chan will assess your child’s needs, discuss the recommended approach and explain the associated fees and payment options before you decide whether you’d like to proceed.

Inside the Complimentary Consultation

During your child’s complimentary consultation, Dr Fensuny Chan will:

• Check your child’s teeth and bite
• Discuss whether braces may be appropriate
• Outline the proposed treatment approach and approximate timeline
• Explain expected fees and available payment options
• Give you an opportunity to ask questions, with no obligation to proceed

You can also ask about timing, what day-to-day care with braces may involve and what your options are if your child isn’t ready for treatment yet.

The Case for Early Assessment

An early orthodontic assessment may help identify how your child’s teeth and bite are developing. If treatment isn’t recommended at this stage, you can also discuss whether future monitoring may be appropriate.

For some families, simply understanding what’s happening now can make future decisions feel more straightforward.
