A full consultation with one of our Specialist Orthodontists is £150 and we will ask for a £75 deposit to secure your appointment. Your initial appointment will include a clinical assessment with our specialist orthodontist, a set of photographs and an x-ray if required. Our Treatment Coordinators will talk you through all the options you are suitable for, and help you choose the right brace for you.
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a safe and non-invasive way of examining soft tissues in the body. It does not use X-rays or radiation.
If you are having orthodontic treatment, it is usually safe to have an MRI scan with braces in place. The small amount of metal used in braces does not pose a risk, and most scans can be carried out without any issues.
However, if the area being scanned is the head, neck, or throat, braces can sometimes affect the quality of the images. In these cases, your Consultant may request that your braces are removed before the scan.
We would always prefer to avoid removing your braces if possible. If removal is required, we will need written confirmation from your Consultant, including details of the scan and the reason for removal.
If multiple MRI scans are needed, we may delay replacing your braces for up to 6 months. Before restarting treatment, we will also need written confirmation from your Consultant that no further scans are required.
We offer a range of orthodontic treatment options to suit your individual needs and lifestyle. These include clear aligners, fixed braces, and more discreet options depending on your preferences and clinical requirements.
At your consultation, we will carry out a full assessment and talk you through all the suitable options, helping you choose the treatment that’s right for you.
Yes, you can have orthodontic treatment again as an adult, even if you had braces as a child. Teeth can move over time, and many people choose further treatment to improve alignment or maintain their smile.
At your consultation, we will assess your teeth and discuss the most suitable treatment options for you.
We have a private car park for patients at our Winchester practice. Please note that spaces are limited and are best suited to smaller vehicles. If you are a Blue Badge holder and require parking, please call our reception team on 01962 710880 before your appointment and we will do our best to arrange a space for you.
