How it works here

Every orthodontic plan starts the same way

No treatment is decided before the scan, and no cost is a surprise after it.

01

A digital scan

An iTero scan instead of impression trays. You see the projected movement on screen before anything is decided.

02

A plain answer on timing

Plenty of seven-year-olds are told to check back in two years. We say so when waiting is the right call.

03

The cost in writing

Benefits are checked before treatment is planned, and the figure goes on paper.

04

Retention from day one

The day the braces come off, retention starts. It is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Why families stay

What families say is different here

  • Two orthodontists, one opinion you can check. Complex cases get a second set of eyes without a second referral.
  • We say when to wait. Early treatment exists for the small number of bites that genuinely benefit from it.
  • The cost conversation happens first. Benefits are checked before a plan is written, not after.
  • Retention is part of the plan. The half of treatment that decides whether the other half lasts.

Questions families ask

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
Around seven, when the first adult molars and incisors are through. Most children who come at that age are told to check back in a year or two, and that is the right answer more often than treatment is.
How long does treatment usually take?
It depends entirely on what is being moved. You get a range in writing at the consultation, and we tell you when the estimate changes rather than letting it drift.
Do braces hurt?
The fitting does not. The ache starts the following day, lasts a few days, and returns briefly after each adjustment. Ordinary painkillers handle it.
Can I have braces as an adult?
Yes. Teeth move at any age. Adult treatment is usually slower because there is no growth to work with, and gums and bone are checked carefully first.
Invisalign or braces?
Aligners suit mild to moderate cases and disciplined wearers. Fixed braces do more, more predictably, and do not depend on anyone remembering to put them back in.
What happens if I lose my retainer?
Call us straight away. Teeth begin to move within days, and replacing a retainer quickly is far cheaper than repeating treatment.
