Paying for Orthodontic Treatment in Peel Bank

Most private orthodontic practices in Peel Bank offer payment plans — typically 0% or low-interest monthly instalments spread over the course of treatment (usually 12–24 months). This makes private treatment much more financially accessible. A deposit of 10–25% of the total fee is usually required to start treatment, with the balance spread over equal monthly payments.

Always check whether the payment plan is in-house (directly with the practice) or through a finance provider such as Chrysalis Finance or Medenta. In-house plans typically have no credit check; third-party finance plans involve a formal credit application.

Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included? Are there charges for broken attachments or replacement aligners? What happens if the final result needs additional trays after the initial series?
