Assessment before appliances
Photographs, models or scans and radiographs may be needed to understand tooth position and supporting structures before treatment is recommended.
Choosing an appliance
Clear aligners and fixed braces suit different movements and levels of complexity. The appropriate option depends on clinical needs rather than appearance alone.
Retention is part of treatment
Teeth can move after active treatment. Retainers and review are essential parts of maintaining alignment.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
No. They can manage many cases, but movement complexity, wear compliance and oral health determine suitability.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Duration varies according to the required movement, appliance, biological response and attendance. A personalised estimate follows assessment.
