He was understandably nervous, but from the first appointment Ben put him totally at ease. This meant he had no qualms about going in for appointments on his own. Every single interaction has been brilliant, these guys do it all perfectly!

What to expect at your child's consultation

Thorough, unhurried, and designed to give you and your child every answer you need on the day. Here's what's included in your £150 appointment.

01

3D scan & clinical records

One of our orthodontic therapists takes precise measurements, a detailed 3D iTero scan and an X-ray if needed. The scan lets you see what the finished smile could look like before any treatment begins.

02

Review with the orthodontist

A qualified orthodontist reviews everything in the room with you, going through your child's options and which treatments suit their case, so you leave with a clear picture of what's possible.

03

Finance & next steps

Georgina, our treatment coordinator, goes through costs, payment options and any remaining questions before you leave. There's no pressure and no rush.

3D scan and records, review with the orthodontist and a finance talk, all in one 1.5-hour visit.

Treatment starts

Once you're happy, we fit braces or start aligners. Most children are in and out in under an hour.

Regular check-ups

We monitor progress at planned intervals throughout treatment, adjusting as needed.

Debond & retainers

When the teeth are where they need to be, braces come off and we fit retainers to hold the result.

One year of free corrections

We monitor the result for a full year after debond, correcting any retainer issues at no charge.

See the result before treatment starts

We use the iTero 3D scanner at every consultation, which means your child can see a simulation of their expected smile before any decision is made.

It also means precise, digital treatment planning - no more physical moulds or guesswork. Faster, more comfortable, more accurate.

Braces, aligners, or a mix

Orthodontic treatment guides teeth into the correct position using fixed braces, clear aligners, or a combination of both. For children and teenagers, treatment usually begins once enough adult teeth have come through - typically from around age 10 to 12.

  • Fixed metal braces - reliable, effective and the most predictable option for complex movement
  • Clear aligners such as Invisalign Teen - near-invisible, removable trays for motivated teenagers
  • Most children are in treatment for between 12 and 24 months
  • We'll recommend what suits your child's case at the consultation

Is your child ready to start?

Request a £150 consultation and you'll get a full picture - a 3D scan, a clinical review and a finance conversation - all on the same day, with no pressure to commit.

Your questions answered

We treat children from age 10 onwards. The right time to start depends on how your child's adult teeth are developing, and we'll assess this at the consultation. If it's too early to start treatment, we'll tell you clearly and advise when to come back.
Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of each case. Most children are in treatment for between 12 and 24 months. We'll give you a realistic estimate at the consultation, once we've reviewed your child's 3D scan.
Some tenderness in the first few days after braces are fitted or adjusted is normal, and it usually passes quickly. Clear aligners tend to feel different to fixed braces in the first week - slight pressure, which eases. We'll give you and your child clear guidance on what to expect at each stage.
We monitor every patient for a full year after their braces come off. If there are any issues with bonded or removable retainers during that period, we correct them at no charge.
We think it does. Orthodontics is all we do at Park Lane - we're not a general practice offering orthodontics on the side. Our team includes a GDC orthodontic specialist, and our clinical director has been described as one of the UK's Tatler-recommended dentists. You're in experienced hands.
