Braces & Clear Aligners Quote From Home
Upload guided photos from your phone and a GDC-registered clinician reviews your case and sends back quote guidance for braces or clear aligners, usually within one to two working days, with no clinic visit needed to get started.
Do I need to book a clinic appointment to get a quote?
No. You can start straight from your phone with a guided photo assessment. If you arrived here from TikTok, Instagram, or another social advert, the flow is built to be quick on mobile — a few guided photos, a short form about what you would like to change, and you are done. You can pause and come back later if you need more time to finish.
What do I get back after submitting my photos?
You receive clinician-reviewed quote guidance covering options such as fixed braces and clear aligners, an indication of likely treatment complexity, and whether an in-person clinic appointment is the sensible next step for your case. This is not a final treatment plan — it gives you a realistic starting point before you commit to a paid consultation.
Why do good photos matter for an accurate quote?
Clear, well-lit photos let the reviewing clinician assess crowding, gaps, bite position, and your stated smile goals before recommending a next step. Guided prompts walk you through front, side, and bite angles so you do not need any dental knowledge to get this right. Photos do not replace a full in-person examination with X-rays, but they make the first conversation with a clinic far more useful and specific to your case.
How long does the photo assessment take?
Most people complete the guided upload in around five minutes on their phone. You will be asked simple questions about what you want to change, followed by step-by-step prompts for each photo angle. The platform checks photo quality as you go, so you know before submitting whether an image needs to be retaken.
Is this only for people who saw an advert on social media?
No. While this page is designed for people arriving from a TikTok, Instagram, or other social advert, the same guided photo assessment is available to anyone in the UK considering braces or clear aligners. There is no requirement to have seen a specific advert to use it.
What happens after I receive my quote guidance?
If you decide to proceed, your case is routed to a suitable orthodontic practice in the Virtual Consultant Online UK network, often based on your location. A treatment coordinator will then be in touch to arrange an in-person appointment for clinical records — X-rays and scans or impressions — before any treatment plan is finalised. You are under no obligation to proceed after receiving your quote guidance.
