Exceptional Orthodontics — Without the Guesswork
We believe everyone deserves access to specialist orthodontic care. That’s why we charge at medical aid A rates, provide upfront cost breakdowns, and explain your options clearly — before treatment begins.
No hidden fees. Just honest, transparent, expert-led care designed around you.
What Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost?
Every smile is different — and so is every treatment plan. While we’ll give you a detailed treatment plan and quote after your consultation, here’s a general idea:
Initial Consult & Treatment Plan
(Metal Braces or Clear Aligners)
R3,500–R3,850
Metal or Porcelain Braces
R25,000–R45,000 depending on complexity
Clear Aligners
(Spark, Invisalign or Hugo Aligners)
R35,000–R55,000 depending on type and complexity
Early Treatment for Kids
Interceptive care from R8,000 to R18,000
Whether you have medical aid or are a private patient, Hugo welcomes you with world-class orthodontic care at affordable rates.
If you are with a medical aid, we simplify your treatment journey by handling direct submissions and claims—no upfront payments or manual claims required. While most medical aids are excellent partners a lot depends on your options and benefits, you may need to settle certain costs if your funds are exhausted, authorisation is not obtained, or your plan does not cover specific treatments. In such cases, you can conveniently settle any outstanding amounts via our website, patient portal, or at your appointment.
Our team keeps you informed about your treatment statement and is always available to help with the medical aid process. Your online portal also provides all necessary documents for authorisation, making your experience smooth and hassle-free.
Using Medical Aid or Paying Privately?
We work with most medical aid providers and will help you submit your claims efficiently. If you’re paying privately, we offer payment options to help spread the cost.
Monthly Payment Plans — Spread the cost with zero interest
Hybrid Options — Use medical aid for part, and top up privately
Please know that we don’t offer discounts or package deals, because we already charge some of the lowest specialist fees in the market. No inflated pricing. No hidden extras. Just honest, world-class care at a fair rate.
We believe in simplicity and transparency — you only pay for what you need, and nothing more. No one is subsidising someone else’s treatment, broken wires or lost elastics, and there’s no need to haggle. It’s just good orthodontics, delivered with integrity.
