Orthodontics FAQ’s
What is the best age to start orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can benefit children, teens and adults. An initial orthodontic assessment is recommended around age 7 to identify potential alignment or bite concerns early.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment typically takes 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment. Your dentist will provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
You may experience mild discomfort or pressure when braces are adjusted or new aligners are fitted. This is usually temporary and improves within a few days.
What orthodontic treatment options are available?
At Waverley Road Dental, we offer personalised orthodontic options, including traditional braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign. Your dentist will recommend a suitable option based on your needs.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost? Are payment plans available?
The cost depends on the type and complexity of treatment. We offer flexible payment plans to help make orthodontic care more manageable. A personalised quote will be provided during your consultation.
Will my teeth stay straight after orthodontic treatment?
After treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Following your dentist’s retainer instructions is essential to reduce the risk of teeth shifting over time.
