Cost of braces Adelaide
The cost of braces in Adelaide can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of braces chosen, the complexity of the dental issues being addressed, and the duration of the treatment. Traditional metal braces are generally the most affordable option. Ceramic braces, which are less noticeable due to their colour blending with the teeth, tend to be slightly more expensive due to the materials used. At Cumberland Dental we provide ceramic braces on the top front teeth as our standard and still maintain our low fees
Lingual braces, attached to the back of the teeth and invisible from the front, and clear aligner systems like Invisalign, are on the higher end of the price spectrum, reflecting their advanced technology and aesthetic advantages. They are also more challenging for the orthodontic provider to work with. However these tend to impair speech and eating, as a result they are not as popular.
It’s important for patients to consider not just the initial cost but also the value of the investment in their oral health and self-confidence. Cumberland Dental offers flexible payment plans to help make braces more accessible. Consulting with an orthodontic provider like Dr Jack will provide a clearer picture of the costs involved for a personalised treatment plan.

Health Funds FAQs
What are dental health funds?
Dental health funds are insurance schemes that provide coverage for dental treatments and procedures. They help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for routine check-ups, cleanings, and other dental work.
How do I choose a dental health fund in Adelaide?
Consider factors such as the types of coverage offered, premium costs, waiting periods, and whether your preferred dental clinic, like Cumberland Dental, is within the fund’s network. Its essential that your Health Fund allows you to choose your preferred dentist rather than being told who you can see. Comparing different plans and their benefits is crucial to finding the right fit for your needs.
Can I use my dental health fund for cosmetic procedures?
Most dental health funds primarily cover treatments deemed medically necessary. Cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening or veneers, are usually not covered. However, some plans might offer partial coverage, so it’s important to review your policy details.
Are there waiting periods for using dental health fund benefits?
Yes, most dental health funds impose waiting periods before you can claim benefits for certain treatments. These periods can vary from a few months to a year, depending on the procedure and the fund.
How do I claim my dental health fund benefits in Adelaide?
At clinics like Cumberland Dental, you can often claim your benefits on the spot using HICAPS, an electronic claiming system. This service allows you to instantly claim your health insurance benefits at the time of your appointment, reducing upfront costs. Make sure to bring your health fund membership card to your visit.
