The right timing
An early check doesn’t mean early braces
It simply helps us catch problems while they’re easiest to treat.
- Around age 7 We check jaw growth, crowding and bite as the adult teeth start to come through.
- Teenagers Clear aligners can be a great option for teens who’ll wear them as advised.
- Between 10 and 14 This is when most children start braces, once most adult teeth are in.
- Keeping parents involved We’ll explain the plan to you and your child together, and answer all your questions.
Costs
You’ll get a written, itemised plan before anything goes ahead. Interest-free payment plans, Q Card, Southern Cross Easy-claim and WINZ quotes are available.

What's the best age for braces?
Usually between 10 and 14. A check from age 7 helps us spot any issues with jaw growth or crowding early on.

Usually one to three years, depending on what needs correcting.
Can we spread the cost?
Yes. You can pay an initial amount, then the rest in equal, interest-free payments every four weeks.
