Empowering You to Achieve a Beautiful Smile Through Expert Care.
While orthodontic care is well-known for straightening teeth, its benefits go far beyond that. Well aligned teeth are easier to clean and help you to improve your oral health. Better bite and jaw alignment improves chewing, and a straighter smile can boost your confidence in social situations.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What will it cost?
We offer 0% finance over 12 months to help you spread the cost of treatment, as we firmly believe that financial considerations shouldn’t be an obstacle to a beautiful smile. Please see our plans & fees page for further details. All our charges are all inclusive with no hidden fees.
What do I do if I experience discomfort?
- If you have a fixed brace please use the wax provided. It may be helpful to take your normal painkillers for the 1st day or two.
- If you experience more severe discomfort please contact the surgery for advice.
How long will my treatment take?
Your treatment plan and smile are individual to you. As specialist providers you can be confident you will be recommended the treatment that will give you the best results in the shortest possible time. Comprehensive treatment to correct the bite and alignment, usually takes 18 months – 2 years.
Will Orthodontic Treatment Be Painful?
- Fitting the brace should not be painful. For a fixed appliance the brackets are simply glued to the faces of the teeth; metal bands may also need to be cemented round the back teeth. No anaesthetic is needed.
- A degree of discomfort is likely to start with. You can expect some aching and tenderness in the gums as the teeth start to move, but this mostly wears off after a few days.
- As the biological processes gets under way around the tooth roots to allow the teeth to move, you can expect some aching and the teeth will be tender to bite on. This usually settles down after a few days, although some patients do experience a degree of tenderness for a longer period. The amount of discomfort varies enormously from person to person. It may be helpful to take your normal painkillers for a day or two.
- Some further discomfort may be experienced when the brace is adjusted subsequently, but this depends very much on what adjustments have been made.
What will the final result be like?
Dentist can undertake orthodontic treatment but here at Overleigh our Specialist Orthodontists have had an additional 3 years full time training. If you would like the best results, we recommend you look for a provider that has the letters MOrth after their name.
Your Specialist Orthodontist will be able to give you a very good idea of your final smile and will explain the best treatment options available for you.
Will my teeth stay in position after treatment?
All treatment includes retainers. Results will only remain stable if retainers are worn long term and you follow the advice given. A small amount of movement or settling is normal after treatment.
What do I do if my appliance is broken or lost?
Please call reception as soon as possible. We will be able to advise if we need to book you in for an emergency appointment. Please note there is a charge for lost or broken removable appliances that can’t be repaired.

Retainers
All treatment prices at Overleigh include removable or fixed retainers. Results will only remain stable with a patient’s full co-operation and if retainers are monitored and worn long term.
Overleigh Orthodontics offer a large discount on an additional set of retainers and on sports mouthguards at your debond appointment (when our brace is taken off), to help retain your new smile. Please ask your receptionist for more information.
What are the risks of orthodontic treatment?
Moving healthy teeth and gums is generally not risky. Unfortunately, some patients do experience problems during treatment, particularly if the teeth have had previous trauma. Your orthodontist will talk to you about the common risks of treatment and about those that might particularly affect you. Most problems are preventable if you take care of your teeth and gums.
