What exactly happens during an initial orthodontic consultation at our clinic?

Your first consultation at our clinic is designed to be both informative and comfortable. We’ll conduct a thorough clinical examination of your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment, meticulously identifying any concerns such as crowding (when your teeth are having a bit of a space crisis, like too many people on a tiny elevator), spacing, an overbite (when your top teeth act like the boss, overlapping the bottom ones a little too much), or a crossbite (when one/some of your upper teeth are playing hide-and-seek behind your lower teeth). All this unfolds while you get to enjoy the breathtaking views of Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and the stunning Dubai Marina right from our consultation room. It’s about getting a complete picture of your oral health with an unbeatable backdrop. Oh, and here’s a little secret from us: our hot chocolate is pretty amazing, so don’t miss out when you register your details at the reception!

What kind of diagnostic records will be taken to plan your braces or aligner treatment?

Following your examination, we’ll take advanced diagnostic records – essentially, creating a precise blueprint for your future smile. This typically includes high-resolution digital photographs of your smile, along with cutting-edge 3D scans of your teeth and jaws. Then we take time to show you how your gum health is, if you have any decayed teeth that needs attention and much more. We might also suggest you to take full mouth X ray to identify your jaw bone health. These tools are absolutely essential for us to craft a personalized and effective orthodontic treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. They help us visualize your ideal smile transformation, whether you’re looking for traditional braces, advanced braces like Damon system, state-of-the-art clear aligners (specific brands like Invisalign or SureSmile aligners).

Will you be explained about all types of braces and aligner treatment options available?

Absolutely. Based on our comprehensive assessment and your diagnostic records, we’ll clearly explain all the suitable orthodontic treatment options available for you. This includes traditional metal braces, more discreet ceramic braces, the advanced self ligating braces (like Damon system), the trending and popular clear aligners (like Invisalign and SureSmile aligners). We’ll discuss the unique benefits of each, such as the near invisibility of aligners or the extremely light force applying self-ligating brackets  for efficient tooth movement. We’ll also cover the estimated duration of your treatment and, most importantly, the fantastic results you can realistically expect (thanks to the 3D scan of ours which gives a predictive picture of how your future smile is going to be). You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s possible for your smile transformation. It’s a promise.

Are financial details for orthodontic treatment, including aligners and braces, discussed during the first consultation?

Yes, transparency is paramount, especially when considering an investment in your smile. During your visit, we’ll openly discuss all the financial details for your chosen treatment. This includes a clear breakdown of the treatment costs, how your insurance coverage might apply, and any available payment plans to help make your journey to a healthier, more confident smile as smooth as possible. Our aim is to provide complete clarity, ensuring there are no surprises, just a clear path forward. 

Are you required to start braces or aligner treatment immediately after the consultation?

Not at all. There is no obligation to begin treatment immediately after your consultation. The primary goal of this initial visit is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your oral condition, explore potential treatment options for braces or clear aligners and explain the entire process in detail. This empowers you to make a truly informed decision when you feel ready. Consider it a no-pressure sneak peek at your future perfect smile, enjoyed from one of Dubai’s most inspiring vantag
