What to Expect During Your Consultation | We want to ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed from the very beginning. Your consultation will include: - A warm welcome from our friendly reception and administrative team.
- A series of digital photographs to capture the necessary information about the smile and bite.
- A review of your medical and dental history.
- A comprehensive examination, including an assessment of your face, mouth, teeth, gums, and X-rays, to determine if treatment is needed.
- A discussion of potential treatment options and the development of a personalised treatment plan if orthodontic care is recommended.
- A review of financial details, including private health insurance and available payment plans.
This appointment is your opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns. Our team is here to provide all the information you need to make an informed decision about your orthodontic care. For more complex cases, additional appointments may be necessary to review further records and allow sufficient time for evaluation and discussion. | After Your Consultation | Once you’ve decided to move forward with treatment, we’ll schedule your first appointment to begin creating or fitting your orthodontic appliance. These visits typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, and our team will be right there with you, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. After your appliances have been fitted, we’ll provide you with all the essential care instructions to help you take care of both your appliances and your teeth throughout your treatment journey. For younger patients who aren’t quite ready for treatment, we’ll monitor their development and provide a timeline for when treatment should begin. | Scheduling Appointments | Once your orthodontic journey begins, you’ll visit us every six to eight weeks for check-ups until your active treatment is complete. Our friendly reception team at B Orthodontics is here to make scheduling as easy and convenient as possible for you. We know life gets busy, and we want to help minimise time away from school or work. That’s why we offer early morning and afternoon appointments for quick routine adjustments. To keep these peak times available, we kindly ask that longer or emergency appointments be scheduled during the day. But don’t worry—we’ll do our best to keep these to a minimum and make sure your visits fit seamlessly into your schedule. We’re here to support you every step of the way and look forward to seeing you at your appointments! | Working as a Team | At B Orthodontics, we believe that exceptional orthodontic care is a team effort. Our dedicated professionals work together to ensure you receive the highest quality treatment and service in a welcoming and supportive environment. Throughout your orthodontic journey, you will meet not only your orthodontist but also our friendly reception team, skilled dental assistants, and experienced oral health therapists—all committed to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. In addition, we often collaborate with other dental and medical professionals, including your family dentist, dental specialists, and doctors. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to provide comprehensive, well-rounded care tailored to your unique needs. At B Orthodontics, we are committed to working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for your smile and overall oral health. | Financial Information | Orthodontic treatment is a lifelong investment in your smile. Since every case is unique, costs vary based on complexity. Before starting, we’ll explain your fees and create a payment plan that works for you, so you know exactly what to expect. For patients with insurance, we’re happy to provide all the information required for claims. We also offer interest-free payment plans, with automatic payments via Visa, MasterCard, or bank transfer for added convenience. Our goal is to make your journey to a confident smile clear, affordable, and stress-free. | |
