Which Treatment Is Right for You?

If budget is primary and you meet NHS criteria, metal braces deliver excellent outcomes at minimal cost.
How Orthodontic Treatment Works in Scrub Hill
Many people in Scrub Hill delay treatment simply because they don't know where to start. The pathway from first enquiry to fitted braces is more straightforward than most people expect. The steps that follow cover self-assessment, consultation, fitting, adjustments and retention.
Making Treatment Go Smoothly in Scrub Hill
- Don't skip adjustment visits — each one keeps the plan on schedule; missing them just adds time later.
- Step up your cleaning routine — brackets and wires trap plaque, so interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash matter more than usual.
- Aligner wear time is non-negotiable — under 20–22 hours a day and the plan slips, sometimes needing extra refinement trays.
- Report breakages same-day — a loose bracket or broken wire left unaddressed can undo weeks of progress.
- Retainers start the moment treatment ends — this is the single biggest factor in whether the result actually lasts.
The Treatment Journey, Stage by Stage
The route from first enquiry to retainers is well-worn in Scrub Hill — here's each stage and roughly what it involves.
