How do I arrange a braces consultation?

View appointment optionsWhat should I ask about braces costs?
The estimate depends on the assessed problem and proposed treatment. Ask what is included, such as records or imaging when appropriate, adjustment visits, retainers and follow-up. Clarify any possible additional charges before agreeing to care. Fixed prices or payment-plan policies have not been published on this website.
Call about an assessment and estimateCan adults have braces?
Adults can often have orthodontic treatment when their teeth and gums are healthy. Suitability depends on the bite, dental health and treatment goals. An assessment is needed to discuss appropriate options, risks and likely benefits. Age alone does not determine whether treatment is suitable.
How long does braces treatment take?
The duration varies with the starting problem, the treatment plan, how teeth respond and attendance at review visits. More complex bite corrections can take longer. Your treating clinician can estimate timing after assessment and explain factors that may change it. There is no fixed treatment duration promised on this website.
Will braces feel uncomfortable?
Aching, tenderness or soreness can occur as teeth begin to move and after adjustments. Experiences vary, and comfort should be discussed before treatment. Follow the treating clinician's advice about eating and looking after your mouth. Contact them if pain is severe, persists or an appliance is damaged; a completely pain-free experience cannot be guaranteed.
Will I need retainers after braces?
Retainers help hold teeth in their new positions because teeth can move after active treatment. Wear and clean the retainer as instructed and continue routine dental check-ups and careful oral hygiene. The type and schedule of retainer wear depend on your treatment plan. Ask what to do if the retainer becomes damaged or stops fitting.
These answers provide general information, not a diagnosis or a personalised treatment plan. Recommendations depend on clinical assessment.
