Complete Orthodontic Care, Start to Finish
From your first consultation to your last retainer check — dental braces for kids, Invisalign for adults, and everything in between.
Consultation
Every treatment starts with an unhurried conversation. We discuss your concerns, your goals, and what a realistic timeline and budget look like — no pressure, no jargon.
- Full oral examination & bite assessment
- Honest discussion of options & cost
- No obligation — just clear answers
Dental X-Rays & Diagnostic Imaging
Accurate treatment starts with a clear picture. Our diagnostic imaging shows exactly how your teeth, roots and jaw are positioned, so your plan is built on facts, not guesswork.
- Panoramic & bitewing dental X-rays
- Used to plan braces & Invisalign treatment
- Fast, low-discomfort imaging on-site
Dental Braces
Durable, effective and affordable — metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to straighten teeth for kids, teens and adults alike. We fit and adjust braces with a gentle, patient touch.
- Metal braces & related orthodontic appliances

Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Straighten your smile without anyone noticing. Clear aligners are removable, comfortable, and popular with adults who want results without the look of metal braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about cost, comfort and what to expect.
How much do braces cost?
Cost depends on your case complexity and chosen appliance. We believe in affordable braces for South African families, and we'll give you a clear, itemised quote at your consultation — with payment plan options available.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners — this is a sign they're working. It's typically far more comfortable than traditional braces, with no wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks.
What age should my child get braces?
Most children start orthodontic treatment between ages 10–14, once enough adult teeth have come through. We recommend an early consultation from age 7 so we can monitor growth and catch issues before they become bigger problems.
How long will I need to wear a retainer?
We recommend full-time wear for the first few months after treatment, then night-time wear indefinitely. Teeth can shift for life, so keeping your retainer is the best way to protect your investment.
Do you treat patients from Bushbuckridge & Pretoria?
