Maintenance and aftercare
Having your teeth straightened is an investment in your oral health and self-esteem. So, following treatment, you’ll want to ensure you maintain your straighter smile, and you may want to consider teeth whitening for that finishing touch.
Find out more about maintenance and aftercare so you know what to expect following treatment.
Caring for braces and aligners
Learn how to look after your braces or aligners during and after treatment, including how to clean them, what to eat and drink and how to spot any problems.
Teeth whitening
Many patients like to have their teeth whitened after braces as a finishing touch. We offer safe, at-home whitening kits to brighten your smile.
Retainers
After your braces are removed, your orthodontist will give you a set of retainers to keep your teeth straight.
Find out more about types of retainers, why you need to wear them and how to look after them.
What to expect
At your consultation, we will chat through your options and suitability for different teeth straightening treatments.

1. Free consultations are to discuss options and suitability for treatment. You may require a more in-depth clinical examination or diagnostic tests before treatment options can be discussed. There may be a charge for such examination or test, payable by you.

Private consultations for children are excluded from this offer and will be charged at our standard rate but the charge will be refunded to you in full if the child commences private treatment following the consultation.
