Contact & Book a Consultation

Many orthodontists recommend an initial assessment around age seven, when a mix of baby and permanent teeth allows early signs of crowding, bite, or growth concerns to be identified. This does not mean treatment will start at that age — often the right plan is simply to monitor growth at intervals.

Suitability depends on a clinical assessment of your bite, tooth positions, and treatment goals. Some cases are well suited to aligners alone; others benefit from fixed appliances or a combined approach. This is determined during consultation.

Clear aligners can be used in some complex cases when combined with careful biomechanical planning, attachments, and sometimes additional anchorage such as TADs. Whether they are appropriate for your case is assessed individually.

Treatment duration varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the appliance used, and individual biological response. A more specific estimate can be given after a full clinical assessment.

Some pressure or mild discomfort is common for a few days after appliances are placed, adjusted, or a new aligner is worn, as teeth begin to move. This typically settles within a few days.

This depends on the appliance and stage of treatment. Fixed braces typically require adjustment visits every several weeks; clear aligner check-ins are often less frequent but still regular.

Yes. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment, though adult cases often involve additional considerations such as gum health and existing dental work, assessed at consultation.

Not always. Extractions are only recommended when they genuinely benefit the treatment plan, based on the amount of crowding, bite relationship, and facial considerations for your specific case.

Mini-screws, or temporary anchorage devices (TADs), are small titanium screws placed temporarily to provide extra anchorage for certain tooth movements. They are used only in selected cases where clinically justified, and removed once no longer needed.

A period of retention follows active treatment, usually with a removable or fixed retainer, to support the stability of the result. Retention planning is discussed as part of your treatment plan.

Yes. Patients who have received a diagnosis or treatment plan elsewhere are welcome to book a consultation for an independent assessment.

Braces require careful brushing around brackets and wires, often with interdental brushes; aligners should be removed for eating and cleaned regularly. Specific guidance is provided at your appointments.

The cases shown are real, consented patient cases, but every patient's diagnosis, biology, and treatment response are different. They illustrate the range of cases treated rather than a guaranteed outcome.

No two patients are identical. The cases shown are for educational purposes; treatment outcomes vary according to each patient's diagnosis, biology, cooperation, and clinical circumstances.
