[Start Photo Assessment](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/evaluations/quote) [See How It Works](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/about/patients) ## 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. ## Useful related pages [Start Photo Assessment](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/evaluations/quote) [How to Take Orthodontic Photos](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/about/process/how-to-take-orthodontic-photos) [Teeth Straightening](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/treatments/teeth-straightening) [Clear Aligners](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/treatments/clear-aligners) [Braces](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/treatments/braces) [Orthodontic Costs](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/costs) [How Virtual Consultant Online Works](https://staging.virtualconsultant.online/about/patients) This page provides general guidance and an indicative quote only.

No — you can begin the guided photo assessment straight away on your phone with no account, no password, and no sign-up step first. Contact details are only requested at the point where you are ready to submit your photos for clinician review, because a clinician needs somewhere to send the guidance back to. That means you can work through the questions and see what is involved before deciding whether to give any personal information. Nothing is submitted until you choose to send it. Is this quote process only for clear aligners? No — the assessment covers the full range of orthodontic options, not just aligners. Depending on what your photos show, the guidance may point towards fixed metal or ceramic braces, clear aligners, lingual braces, or a different next step such as seeing your own dentist first if there is an underlying issue to address. The reviewing clinician considers which appliances suit your case rather than defaulting to one type. Complex crowding and bite corrections are often handled more reliably by fixed braces than by aligners. Can I use this quote tool after seeing an advert on social media? Yes. This page is intended for people arriving from social adverts such as TikTok or Instagram who want a quick, clear route into a guided orthodontic photo assessment. You do not need to reference the advert — simply start the assessment directly. Is the online quote free? Yes. The guided photo assessment and the clinician-reviewed quote guidance are free of charge and carry no obligation to proceed with treatment. You only incur cost if you accept a quote and move forward with an in-person appointment at a matched clinic. How accurate is a quote based on photos alone? A photo-based quote gives a realistic, clinician-reviewed indication of likely treatment options and costs, but it is not a final diagnosis. A definitive treatment plan requires an in-person appointment with X-rays and either digital scans or impressions, which confirms suitability and finalises pricing. What if I am not ready to book a clinic appointment yet? That is completely fine — plenty of people go through the assessment purely to find out what their options are and roughly what treatment would cost, with no intention of booking anything yet. There is no time limit on your guidance, no automatic follow-up appointment, and no obligation to proceed. Having a clinician-reviewed indication of appliances, timescales, and price ranges is useful on its own: it tells you what to budget for, gives you something concrete to compare other quotes against, and lets you revisit the decision whenever you are ready.
