Plan with the full picture in view
Potential benefits depend on the diagnosis and wider oral health. Treatment length and appliance choice depend on age, complexity, oral health and individual goals. Your clinician should explain reasonable alternatives, material risks and the likely maintenance required before consent.
Support continues after treatment
Good brushing, careful appliance care, regular monitoring and wearing retainers as directed all form part of orthodontic treatment. The clinical team will explain the routine relevant to the chosen appliance.
Questions patients often ask
Do you provide braces and clear aligners?
The clinic provides orthodontic assessment and braces. Ask the clinic about current clear-aligner options because suitability depends on the bite, tooth movement required and the systems available.
How often should I have a dental checkup?
Many people benefit from regular checkups every six to twelve months, but the right interval depends on oral health, risk factors and previous treatment. Your dentist can recommend a personal recall schedule.
