Frequently Asked Questions

Following you will find some of the most commonly asked initial queries when people are considering orthodontic treatment.  Some of the answers may seem a bit vague, but there are many things that we just can’t answer until we have properly examined your individual situation.  Every orthodontic journey is different, so this is really just a little bit of guidance on some of the standard issues.

The best way to have your particular query answered is to visit us and ask.  Make your free appointment, or email us with your questions and we will do our best to accurately answer them.

You can also download our handy question sheet here.
