Clear aligners
Invisalign, Angel Aligners or ClearCorrect. A series of clear, removable trays, planned from a 3D digital scan, that gradually move mild to moderate crowding or spacing.
Crooked teeth, gaps or a bite that doesn't meet evenly can bother you at seven or at forty-seven. At Magical Smiles Bacchus Marsh we offer braces, clear aligners and Myobrace for children under one roof, so you can weigh them up in a single conversation. This page sets out how the three paths differ, where each one starts on price, and what happens at your first visit.
Maybe food catches in the same gap every night. Maybe your jaw clicks when you chew, or a dentist has mentioned your child's bite and you weren't sure whether that meant now or later. Most people who ask us about orthodontics have been thinking about it for a while before they book.
Another round of reading online rarely settles it. A short consultation at our Gisborne Road clinic, with a proper look at your teeth, usually does.
Each path has its own page with the detail: how it works, where it starts on price and who it tends to suit. Start with the one that sounds closest to your situation.
Within those paths you'll find Invisalign and Angel Aligners for clear aligner treatment, and metal braces or Fastbraces for fixed treatment.

Metal, clear ceramic or Fastbraces. Brackets bonded to the teeth and joined by a wire that's adjusted at regular visits, with nothing to remember to put back in.
An early-intervention approach for growing children. Removable appliances and daily exercises work on causes of crowding such as mouth breathing and tongue position, rather than moving adult teeth.
All three are available at our Bacchus Marsh clinic, so one consultation can cover the lot, whether it's for you or your child — and it's a short trip for families in Maddingley and Darley too. Suitability, timelines and results vary between individuals.
Use this to shape your questions. Your own teeth decide which column actually applies to you.

Examination & digital scan
We check crowding, spacing and your bite, plus growth and habits for children. Our 3D digital imaging supports the planning, from designing clear aligners to taking digital impressions.
An honest recommendation
We explain which path — aligners, braces or Myobrace — fits the case, which ones don't, and why.
A written plan & quote
Before treatment begins you receive a detailed quote setting out the expected costs, so the numbers are clear from the start.
Clear aligners and braces both start from $4,500 per arch at Magical Smiles Bacchus Marsh, and Myobrace is priced once we've assessed your child. Your final figure depends on how many teeth need to move, how long treatment runs and which clear aligner or brace system you choose. Treatment is often spread over one to three years, which is why many families use a payment plan or claim part of it through their health fund.

We accept
About the estimator: it gives an indicative figure based on typical per-arch pricing and is not a quote. Your exact cost depends on your case and the system you choose, and you'll receive it in writing after your assessment. Repayment figures are illustrative and use Humm/NDP's own plan-fee formula for the term selected, so Humm's fees are already included. Finance depends on Humm's own eligibility criteria and approval.
Aligners, braces and Myobrace are all offered here, so we can compare them honestly without sending you somewhere else for a second opinion.
You'll see a detailed quote before treatment starts, along with the indicative starting prices on this page that you can check for yourself.
Regular check-ups track progress. If a bracket comes loose or something feels uncomfortable, call the clinic and we'll help you with the next step.
