From a first look to the last retainer check
Which option suits a bite is a clinical decision. The orthodontist will talk through each one with you.
| Service | What it covers | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Early checks for children | A first look while baby and adult teeth are both there, to see whether anything needs doing now. | Children from around age 7 |
| Braces | Small brackets joined by a wire, in metal or tooth-colored, with elastic colors to choose if you like. | A wide range of bites, often children and teens |
| Clear aligners | Thin clear trays that come out to eat and brush, changed at home between visits. | Teens and adults who can keep trays in as planned |
| Adult orthodontics | We check with your dentist that gums and dental work are ready before anything starts. | Adults, including those with crowns or bridges |
| Retainers | Worn after active treatment, with reviews over the first year. | Everyone finishing active treatment |
| Repairs | Loose brackets and wires, with a repair slot when one is needed, often the same week. | Patients in active treatment |

Braces and clear aligners, side by side
A general guide, not a recommendation. The orthodontist will talk through both at your consult.
| Compare | Braces | Clear aligners |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Small brackets joined by a wire, metal or tooth-colored | Thin clear trays, sometimes with small tooth-colored attachments |
| Removable or not | Fixed until the orthodontist takes them off | Out to eat and brush, then back in for most of the day |
| Cleaning | Brushing around brackets and flossing under the wire | Brushing and flossing as usual, plus cleaning the trays |
| Visits | An adjustment about every 6 to 10 weeks | A check about every 8 to 12 weeks |
| Typical uses | A wide range of bites, often children and teens | Often teens and adults. Not every bite suits them |

Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. Book a free consult directly. If you have a family dentist, tell us who they are and we can keep them informed.
Am I too old for this?
We see adults at any stage. We check with your dentist first that your gums and any dental work are ready.
How long does treatment take?
As a general range, braces take 12 to 30 months and clear aligners 6 to 24 months. That is not a promise. The orthodontist confirms your timing at consultation.
What does it cost?
You get a written quote after your records visit. Payment plans spread it out by month, and in-house plans carry no interest.
What if a wire or bracket comes loose?
Call (555) 013-3070 during opening hours. When we are closed, leave a message or send a photo through the patient portal and we will reply the next working morning.
Do I have to decide at the consult?
No. There is no pressure to decide on the day.
