I'd like to book a consultation appointment- how do I go about doing this?
Whether you would prefer to call or email, our Receptionists and Treatment Coordinator will be happy to assist you in making your initial consultation appointment. To secure your appointment, we do ask that the consultation fee of £95 be paid at the time of booking. The consultation fee will be deducted from the cost of treatment, should you decide to go ahead.
How much should I expect to pay for orthodontic treatment?
A complete course of treatment ranges from £2600 to £6800, depending on the type of braces you choose to have. We offer a range of payment plans that we can tailor to suit your needs.
Will I need to come in for a consultation?
Yes, you will need to come in for a full clinical consultation with one of our Orthodontists. They will be able to determine which type of braces will be suitable for you, and devise a treatment plan for you.
Is there a waiting list to be seen?
Private and Low-Cost Patients will be seen quickly. Usually we are able to see a patient for their first consultation within a few weeks. NHS patients must go on a waiting list to be seen for their initial assessment, and then will have a short wait to begin their treatment, should they meet NHS IOTN criteria. Please do keep in mind that NHS patients must be under the age of 18 at the time of fitting the braces.
I work during business hours. Am I able to have after-hours appointments?
We offer evening appointments on Thursdays. As these appointments are understandably popular, you will need to book in advance to avoid disappointment!
What will happen on my first visit?
Whether you are a Private, Low-Cost, or NHS patient, your first appointment will be a clinical consultation. For Private and Low-Cost patients, the consultation appointment will be where you first meet the Orthodontist. The Orthodontist will have a look at your teeth, take some measurements, and then photos and x-rays will be taken. The Orthodontist will advise you as to which types of braces will be most suitable in your particular circumstance, and we will then discuss payment options and book your next appointment. For NHS patients, the consultation will basically be an assessment to determine whether or not you qualify for NHS-funded Orthodontic treatment. If you do qualify, then the next step will be a records appointment, during which further measurements, photos, and x-rays will be taken. If you do not qualify, you will be given the choice of commencing Orthodontic treatment as a Private or Low-Cost patient.
