Question 1

Am I too old for braces?

Accepted Answer

Adults are now half of our orthodontic patients — clear aligners make adult treatment discreet and comfortable.

Question 2

Aligners or braces — which is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Aligners suit mild to moderate cases; complex bite or rotation problems may need fixed braces. We'll give you both options at the planning stage.

Question 3

How often will I visit during treatment?

Accepted Answer

About once a month for fixed braces, every 6–8 weeks for aligners. Each visit is short — usually 15–20 minutes.

Question 4

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Discomfort, not pain. After each adjustment teeth may feel tender for 2–3 days, eased with ibuprofen. Aligners are gentler — usually just pressure for the first day of a new tray.

Question 5

Do I need to wear a retainer forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes — teeth will drift back without retention. We supply two clear retainers; wear them at night for the first year, then 3–4 nights a week ongoing.

Question 6

What does orthodontic treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Clear aligners €3,000–€5,500 depending on case complexity. Traditional braces €2,500–€4,500. Includes all visits, adjustments, and retainers.
