Frequently Asked Questions

01Is the consultation really free?

Yes. Your first consultation with our Specialist Orthodontist is completely free, no obligation and no hidden costs. You'll get a full assessment and a clear treatment plan before deciding anything.

02What does a $0 deposit actually mean?

You start treatment without paying anything upfront. No deposit, and nothing to pay for your first 30 days. Your first repayment begins a month after you start.

03How much are the repayments?

Payments are tailored to your unique treatment and are interest-free through DentiCare. We'll give you exact figures at your free consultation, there won't be any surprises.

04What happens after the first 30 days?

Your regular interest-free repayments begin, spread across your treatment. Nothing changes in your care; it just means you can start now rather than waiting to save a deposit.

05Can I use my private health fund?

Yes. Most funds with extras cover orthodontics. We'll help you check your entitlements and apply any rebate to reduce your out-of-pocket.

06Who is this offer available to?

New patients who book via the form on this page and commence treatment on or before 30 November 2026. Terms and conditions apply.

07Is treatment with a Specialist Orthodontist different to a dentist?

Yes. A Specialist Orthodontist completes an additional three years of full-time university training beyond dentistry, focused solely on tooth and jaw alignment. We assess your bite and long-term oral health, not just how straight your teeth look.

08How long does treatment take?

Most treatments run 12–24 months depending on complexity. With Dental Monitoring, many patients need fewer in-practice visits. Every case is unique; after assessing your teeth and bite, we'll tell you more at your appointment.
