Call nowWhy it happens
Teeth and jaws develop at different rates. Crowding, spacing and bite concerns can become noticeable while baby and adult teeth are both present.
For a growing child, an early assessment can help identify whether care now, monitoring or later treatment makes sense. An assessment does not mean your child needs braces straight away.
How we fix it
We assess your teeth and bite, discuss your goals and explain suitable options. For younger children, we assess and treat suitable early/interceptive cases in-house; some cases need monitoring or referral.
For suitable children, teens and adults, braces move teeth gradually with regular reviews. We explain the proposed treatment, likely time commitment, fees and payment terms before you decide.
Keeping it fixed
A treatment plan works best when it fits everyday life:
- Keep every review appointment so your dentist can check progress.
- Clean carefully around brackets and keep routine dental check-ups.
- Follow the advice for food, appliances and retainers; these depend on your own treatment plan.

Questions patients ask
Can you assess my child before all their adult teeth come through?
Yes. We can assess a growing child's teeth and bite while baby and adult teeth are both present. The findings determine whether suitable early treatment, monitoring or later care is appropriate.
Does an early assessment mean my child needs braces now?
No. Some children benefit from early care, while others need monitoring or later treatment. We explain what we find and why a particular next step is appropriate.
Do you provide early treatment at the practice?
Yes, we assess and treat suitable early/interceptive cases in-house. Suitability depends on the child's teeth, bite and growth; some cases may need referral.
Can adults book a braces assessment too?
Yes. Adults can book an assessment to discuss braces and suitable alternatives. Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite before recommending a treatment plan.
Can I pay for braces over time?
A payment plan is available for complete braces cases. The deposit is part of the payment arrangement, not the total treatment fee; reception confirms the terms and your quote before treatment.
How do I book a braces assessment?
Call or WhatsApp reception and ask for a braces assessment for yourself or your child. Reception confirms the consultation details and an available appointment time.
