Choosing
Questions that help you decide.
- 1
Will you wear trays 22 hours a day?
If yes, aligners may suit. If that sounds hard, braces take the remembering away.
- 2
How much does appearance matter?
Aligners and ceramic braces are harder to notice than metal braces.
- 3
What is your budget?
Metal braces cost least. Every option can be spread over up to 18 months.
- 4
What does your orthodontist see?
Some bite problems are better suited to one option. That is what the scan is for.
Before you start
Healthy teeth first.
Orthodontic treatment moves healthy teeth. Before we start, we check for decay and gum problems and may ask you to see your dentist for a clean or a filling. We are happy to recommend dentists in Ilorin if you do not have one.
We will also tell you honestly if treatment is not needed, or if it is better to wait, for example while a child's adult teeth are still coming through.
Every mouth is different. Times and prices here are typical ranges, not promises, and your orthodontist confirms them after a scan.
Questions
About treatment options.
Can adults have braces?
Yes. About a third of our patients are adults. Many choose aligners or ceramic braces.
Can I switch from braces to aligners?
Sometimes, part way through. Your orthodontist will tell you if it makes sense.
Do you remove teeth?
Only when it is clearly the better option, and never without a full explanation and your agreement.
Do aligners work for everyone?
No treatment suits everyone. Some cases are better treated with braces.
