[Start Quote Chat](https://virtualconsultant.online/evaluations/quote/chat) [Use Standard Form](https://virtualconsultant.online/evaluations/quote) ## 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. ## Useful related pages [Get an Orthodontic Quote Without Visiting](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/orthodontic-quote-without-visiting) [Photos for an Orthodontic Quote](https://virtualconsultant.online/about/process/how-to-take-orthodontic-photos) [Online Assessment Questions](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/online-orthodontic-assessment-questions) [Braces Quote Online UK](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/braces-quote-online-uk) [Clear Aligner Quote Online UK](https://virtualconsultant.online/guides/clear-aligner-quote-online-uk) [Compare Orthodontic Quotes](https://virtualconsultant.online/compare-orthodontic-quotes) This guide is for general information only.

No. The quote chat starts the request and gathers the initial details needed to open it — who the assessment is for, contact details, location, and treatment goals. A useful assessment still depends on the guided photo steps and clinician review that follow, which is the same for both the chat and the standard form. Can I use the standard quote form instead of chat? Yes. The standard form remains available if you prefer a traditional page layout where you can see every field at once, rather than answering one question at a time. Both routes collect the same information and feed into the same clinical review, so the choice comes down to personal preference. Does the quote chat give an instant final price? No. The chat starts the process by collecting your initial details, and the guided photos and clinical review that follow determine the indicative guidance you receive. Final suitability and pricing always depend on an in-person examination with X-rays and full records before treatment can be confirmed. Is the quote chat useful on a mobile phone? Yes. The chat format is designed for small screens because it presents one question at a time instead of a full page of form fields, which many people find easier to complete while on the move rather than scrolling through a longer document. What should I prepare before starting the quote chat? Have your contact details, postcode, and a few minutes of uninterrupted time available. You do not need photos ready immediately, since the guided photo steps are completed after the initial chat questions, so you can gather those once you know what angles are required. Is my information kept private during the quote chat? Yes. Details you share in the chat are handled the same way as information submitted through the standard form, and are only used to open and progress your quote request. The same data protection standards apply regardless of which route you choose to start with. Explore your options Quick links Not sure where to start?
