Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a dentist and a specialist orthodontist?

Costs vary because every plan is tailored. Low deposit options are available, with 12 months interest-free and longer interest-bearing terms. Removable retainers are included with all treatments and come with a 1 year guarantee. Complimentary whitening is included with full comprehensive treatments for patients aged 18 and over.
