Figures depend on the movements needed, the length of treatment and the appliances used, so the same listed range can produce very different quotes. Adult and teen pricing differ, so say the patient's age in your request.

Payment and what is included

Ask what the price includes, because retainers, check-ups and payment plans can be charged separately. One Auckland clinic offers braces and clear aligners from NZ$115 a week on a payment plan. Compare the total cost over the whole course, not only the weekly figure.

Age, rules and timing

Braces are not free for under-18s in New Zealand, so check what your family pays before you book. One provider quotes a full treatment for a child or teenager from NZ$9,900 all-inclusive, and early phase one treatment for children from NZ$3,000. Climate does not change the work, so choose a start date around your own calendar, because treatment runs for months and its length affects the price.

What to put in your request

  • The system you prefer: braces or clear aligners
  • The bite problem, and whether one or both jaws need treatment
  • The patient's age, child or adult
  • What you want included, and how you want to pay
  • Your city or area, and your budget

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the case in your own words in the chat, and you can add a photo. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through orthodontic clinics' websites and price lists in New Zealand, and shows the prices and clinics it finds. Clinics registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their treatment plan, price and payment terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose.
