Your best smile

We will discuss all the possible types of brace that can be used to achieve your best smile and explain each of these options together with the costs, considerations and benefits of each one. The brace choice is therefore how we are proposing meeting your needs and achieving the best outcome from your current condition or problem. There are also different options for what can be improved such as simple straightening or full bite correction.

We will ask about what you are hoping to achieve and then will examine your mouth to assess your current condition and any problems. You may need to have X-rays and/or photographs taken. Dr Rez will then want to discuss the options for treatment with you and agree how to proceed. Digital scans of your teeth are usually always completed as part of the process.

We appreciate that the cost of treatment is an important consideration. This is completely dependent on your unique mouth and the type of treatment you have. Different types of braces are more expensive and some patients will need longer treatment than others. However, as a guide, you could expect to pay anywhere between £1,500 and £4,500 for an effective course of treatment. Typically for most patients, costs are between £3,000 and £3,500.

No, orthodontic treatment doesn’t hurt, although at various stages throughout your treatment you may experience some discomfort. This is usually around the time you have your braces tightened or you are given your next set of aligners. This discomfort can be effectively treated with simple pain relief such as paracetamol.
