The Case for Starting Online in Hafan y Mor
Seeing a clinician's read on your teeth before setting foot in a Hafan y Mor clinic does two things: it points you to the right level of provider, and it means you arrive at consultations already knowing roughly what's involved.
Think of it as preparation rather than a substitute: the face-to-face exam still happens, but you reach it faster and with fewer dead-end appointments.
What to Check Before Booking a Consultation in Hafan y Mor
GDC registration — verify the treating clinician is registered with the General Dental Council. The GDC register is searchable at gdc-uk.org. Any person providing orthodontic treatment must be GDC-registered.
Credentials and experience — ask whether the treating clinician is a specialist orthodontist (an additional three-year postgraduate qualification beyond dental school), a general dentist trained in aligner treatment, or a dental therapist. This affects the complexity of cases that can safely be managed.
What the consultation includes — a proper consultation should involve X-rays (if not recently taken), clinical examination of bite, gums and teeth, a discussion of suitability and treatment options, and a treatment plan with realistic expectations. A free consultation that skips clinical records is often primarily a sales appointment.
