Why patients from Tuggeranong choose us
Dr Thomas Ethell has completed three additional years of full-time postgraduate orthodontic training and is an Australian Orthodontic Board–certified specialist orthodontist. Australia has roughly 600 registered specialist orthodontists. Tom sees patients travelling in from Tuggeranong personally, with the support of the wider clinical team.
Traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Iconix champagne, clear aligners (eg. Invisalign, Angel), early-treatment plates, and retainers. Come in for a consult and we'll walk through every pathway open to you and quote the exact cost.
Appointments are scheduled around school and work where possible. Most adjustments take 15 to 20 minutes. Modern brackets and aligner systems mean fewer visits and longer intervals between them.
Following an initial deposit (from $1,500 on comprehensive cases), we offer interest-free fortnightly payment plans typically over 24 months. If another family member is in or has had comprehensive treatment with us, you receive a flat 5% sibling discount on whatever treatment you need. Terms apply: the discount can't be combined with other offers and is confirmed at your consultation. We provide a receipt for you to claim through your private health fund.
