Your First Visit

Everything you need to know before your first appointment, so you can arrive feeling relaxed, informed and ready.

Your First Visit

What to expect at your first consultation

Taking the first step into orthodontic treatment can feel like a big decision, and we understand you’ll have questions. Your initial consultation at B Orthodontics is designed to give you clear answers, honest advice and a genuine understanding of your options, without any obligation to proceed.

You’ll meet your specialist orthodontist, have your teeth and bite assessed using modern digital technology, and leave with a tailored treatment plan and transparent quote. Whether treatment is needed now, later, or not at all, you’ll walk out with complete clarity on your next steps.

What to Expect During Your Consult

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 Consult

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.
