Records are part of the initial assessment and treatment planing. They are needed to plan your treatment and to monitor its progress and results. They include a full mouth x-ray, models of your teeth, photographs of your face, profile, bite, smile and teeth.

Once this is completed, we will be able to provide you with your treatment options and your custom-made treatment plan.

- Checking all your teeth for signs of decay and disease
- Gum health check
- Full oral cancer screening
- Jaw joint exam
- Any necessary x-rays
- A detailed chart of your teeth
- Tailored report which will outline your treatment options in detail

£1,800 top and bottom

Payment:
This can be paid in 2 equal installments, payable on the day of records and on the day of your fitting.

4. Monthly check-ups

We will tighten your braces once a month, while checking in on the progress of your treatment.

£140 per visit

5. Finishing Your treatment

Once you are happy with the results of the treatment, we will book an appointment to remove your braces. At this appointment, we will remove your braces and any attachments.

We will place fixed retainers at the back of your teeth and take impressions for removable retainers which will be ready after one week.

The retainers are needed to hold your teeth in the new position and to prevent them from moving back into their original position. They should be worn "FOR LIFE".

Cost:
£120 per retainer

Payment:
Payable on the treatment date

6. After finishing your treatment

You must wear your retainers after we remove your braces to prevent your teeth from moving out of alignment again. Damaged retainers (fixed or removable) should be repaired as quickly as possible to avoid your teeth moving.

Six months after we remove your braces, we will check to ensure that everything is fine with your retainers.

Cost:
£40

Payment:
Payable on the treatment date
