When you start any course of treatment, its all about communication with your dental practitioner. You need to feel comfortable enough to ask any questions that you want to. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we feel confident that any member of our team can put you at your ease.
We know that some procedures can seem daunting because they are complex or long-term. However, we also know that all our offerings have the goal of making you and your smile feel better, so we feel confident that we can help you to feel positive about any work that you need. Our orthodontist in Harley Street is standing by to apply this philosophy to your teeth straightening treatment.
Below we look at some of the key question that the orthodontist in Harley Street can answer for you.
Will my treatment be uncomfortable?
It’s natural to be apprehensive about discomfort. We are committed to ensuring that you are as relaxed as possible when you come for treatment. For some patients, this might mean a little extra care so if you are a nervous patient, make sure you mention this so that we can support you.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we also know that being honest about any potential sensations makes them easier to tackle and manage so your orthodontist will talk to you about anything you are likely to feel during fitting or while wearing your particular equipment.
How long will my treatment take?
Fitting orthodontic work doesn’t take very long even if you are having a fixed appliance. All treatment courses require you to have a consultation and information gathering appointment. This takes less than an hour in most cases. Your equipment is then custom-made to fit you, and this take a couple of weeks.
Your overall treatment length can vary depending on what you are having done. Complex orthodontic cases can take a couple of years to complete and they lead to dramatic changes to the tooth alignment and your comfort. Cosmetic cases can take as little as a couple of months. Your orthodontist in Harley Street will be able to let you know early on how long your treatment is likely to take.
