Step 1: Open the quote chat
Open the chat from this page or the quote hub. It is designed for patients who want to start quickly on a mobile phone rather than fill in a longer form in one go, and it works through the same request pipeline as the standard form.
Step 2: Answer one question at a time
The chat asks who the assessment is for, your contact details, location, and consent, presenting one question at a time rather than a full page of fields. This step-by-step format is often quicker to complete on a small screen than scrolling through a long form.
Step 3: Provide your treatment goals
You will be asked what you want to change and whether you are considering braces or clear aligners. Being specific here — naming a crowded tooth or a bite concern — helps the clinician give more useful guidance once the photos are reviewed.
Step 4: Complete the guided photo steps
After the chat creates the request, follow the guided photo steps separately. The chat is only the entry point; the clinical value of the assessment comes from the photo review and the written details you provide alongside it.
Step 5: Receive your indicative quote
Once the photos and details are submitted, a GDC-registered clinician reviews the case and returns an indicative quote and suitability guidance, the same outcome you would get by starting with the standard form instead of chat.
