On your first visit, we will take the necessary records i.e. dental history, digital Xrays, photographs and an examination. Dr. Kavanagh can then determine the nature of your problem and advise regarding the long term Orthodontic needs for you or your child.

At this visit, you will be advised on

  • If treatment is required at all.
  • If treatment is required immediately.
  • If treatment is required but in the case of a child, should be delayed for a period until further growth and eruption of teeth takes place.
  • In the case of an adult patient, other dental treatment with your own dentist may be required prior to commencing Orthodontic treatment.

At the consultation, Dr. Kavanagh will outline the type of treatment necessary, the various appliance (brace) options, how long the treatment will take, the costs involved & payment plans available.
