Questions Before You Begin?

Clear answers to the questions we are asked most often, about timing, treatment, comfort, appointments and aftercare.

Braces & Beyond How long? Does it hurt? What will it cost?

General

Getting Started

An orthodontic assessment can help identify developing concerns involving tooth eruption, bite or jaw growth. The appropriate timing depends on the individual child, and an assessment does not necessarily mean treatment must begin immediately.

No referral is required. You are welcome to contact the clinic directly to arrange a consultation.

Yes. Adults may be suitable for orthodontic treatment provided the teeth and supporting tissues are healthy. Treatment options depend on the clinical findings and the goals of the patient.

We discuss your concerns and dental history, carry out an initial clinical assessment and explain the likely options. Records may be taken if further planning is needed.

We focus on five core areas: orthodontics, restorative and endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Cases that need more than one of these are planned jointly.

Treatment

Options & Timelines

Treatment duration varies according to the complexity of the case, the type of appliance, growth and patient cooperation. A personalized estimate is provided after assessment and planning.

Clear aligners suit selected cases rather than every patient. For some alignment and bite concerns, braces or another approach gives a more predictable result, and we will tell you which applies to you.

Mild tenderness is common for a day or two after an appliance is fitted or adjusted. It usually settles quickly, and we advise on how to stay comfortable.

Not always. Whether extractions are required depends on space, crowding and the treatment plan. This is discussed clearly before treatment starts.

Yes. Where a jaw discrepancy cannot be corrected by orthodontics alone, the orthodontic and surgical stages are planned together as one sequence by the clinic lead and our maxillofacial surgeon.

Appointments

Visits & Costs

The clinic is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and closed on Sunday. You can book any available slot within those hours using the calendar on our Contact Us page.

Choose a date in the booking calendar, pick an available time and leave your name and mobile number. Booked slots are removed immediately, so anything still showing is genuinely free.

Review appointments are usually every few weeks, depending on the appliance and the stage of treatment.

Costs depend on the treatment and the complexity of the case. A clear estimate is provided after your assessment, before treatment begins.

Contact reception as soon as possible so your visit can be rescheduled. Long gaps between reviews can extend overall treatment time.

Aftercare

Retention & Follow Up

Most orthodontic patients require retention after active treatment. Retainers help maintain the corrected tooth positions while the surrounding tissues adapt.

Retention is usually long term, with wear reducing over time as advised by your clinician. Follow up reviews check that the result remains stable.

Contact the clinic promptly so a replacement can be arranged, because teeth can begin to move if retention is interrupted.
