Dental Payment Plans
Launceston, Devonport and Burnie

We believe that everyone has the right to access a high standard of orthodontic care when they need it, regardless of their background or income. That's why at The Orthodontic Specialists we offer a choice of payment plans to help make the cost of braces and other orthodontic treatments more affordable.

When you or your child begins treatment with our orthodontists in Launceston, Devonport or Burnie, you'll only have to pay the first instalment on the day. The remainder of the cost can be spread across affordable monthly or fortnightly instalments tailored to your circumstances, so you won't have to delay treatments until later.

We work with two of Australia's leading health finance providers – DentiCare and MiFund – to offer flexible payment plans designed for your individual needs, with convenient direct debit payments and no complicated finance contracts to worry about.

Contact our team today to find out more about our payment options and how they could help you.

How do payment plans work?

DentiCare payment plans

  • 0% interest
  • No contracts or credit checks
  • Pay over 3 to 24 months
  • Simple direct debit payments

DentiCare orthodontic payment plans are designed specifically for the needs of dental and orthodontic patients. These interest-free payment plans help thousands of people all over Australia to afford the care they need.

Unlike most dental payment plans, DentiCare does not require background checks and you won't have to wait for approval. You also won't pay any interest, no matter how long your repayment period is – just the cost of your treatment.

How does DentiCare work?

Step 1

Your orthodontist will give you a quote for your treatment and discuss the payment options we offer to help you manage the cost.

Step 2

You decide what repayment period and frequency suits your circumstances, and how much you want to pay as a deposit.

Step 3

Fill out a simple one-page direct debit form. This is an instruction to your bank or credit card company to pay regular instalments to DentiCare until the cost of your treatment has been covered.

Step 4

You or your child can begin your treatment and only pay the first instalment and deposit on the day.

Payment plans FAQ

You will be notified about payment dates when you complete your direct debit form. Payments may be made any time from midnight on the morning of this date.

You can use payment plans whether or not you have health insurance. If you're using your health fund to cover part of your treatment, you can use a payment plan to pay the remaining gap.

If you or your child need additional treatments, we will usually be able to add this to your existing payment plan, but it may affect the repayment terms.

You can make lump sum payments outside of your scheduled repayments if you want to pay off your outstanding balance. There are no fees or penalties for early repayment.
