Frequently Asked Questions
You can register at Evesham Orthodontics Limited in Evesham by calling the practice, visiting the practice in person, or completing a registration form on their website.

You will be asked for your name, date of birth, address, medical history, and details of any medications you take. Your first appointment will usually include a full dental examination.
NHS dental places can be limited and availability changes frequently. Contact Evesham Orthodontics Limited directly on the practice to check whether they are currently accepting new NHS patients.

Outside surgery hours, call NHS 111 for advice — they can direct you to the nearest emergency dental service. Go to A&E only if you have uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the face or jaw.

The British Orthodontic Society recommends children be assessed by age 7-9, or whenever your general dentist identifies a potential orthodontic issue. Early assessment allows the orthodontist at Evesham Orthodontics Limited to monitor jaw growth and dental development, identify problems early (crossbites, severe crowding, protruding front teeth), start interceptive treatment if needed to guide jaw growth, and plan the optimal timing for comprehensive treatment. Most fixed brace treatment begins between ages 11-14 when the permanent teeth have erupted.
NHS orthodontic treatment for under-18s who qualify is free (no charge). For private orthodontics, costs vary by treatment type: metal braces typically £2,000-4,000, ceramic braces £2,500-5,000, lingual braces £3,000-8,000, and Invisalign £2,500-5,500. Evesham Orthodontics Limited will provide a written treatment plan with the total cost before you commit. Interest-free finance and monthly payment plans are often available — ask the practice for details.
Orthodontic treatment at Evesham Orthodontics Limited is not painful, but you will experience some discomfort. After braces are fitted or adjusted, teeth typically feel sore and tender for 3-5 days. Over-the-counter painkillers (ibuprofen or paracetamol) and a soft diet help during this period. Orthodontic wax can relieve irritation from brackets rubbing against cheeks. With clear aligners, mild pressure is felt when switching to a new set. The discomfort is temporary and a sign that teeth are moving as planned.
Your first appointment at Evesham Orthodontics Limited is an orthodontic consultation lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. The orthodontist will examine your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment, take photographs and X-rays (including a panoramic X-ray and lateral cephalometric X-ray), take digital impressions or moulds of your teeth, discuss your concerns and treatment goals, explain the treatment options available to you, and provide a written treatment plan with estimated duration and costs. For NHS patients, the orthodontist will assess IOTN eligibility.
Evesham Orthodontics Limited can assess and treat many jaw alignment issues including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Treatment may involve braces alone, functional appliances (in growing children) to modify jaw growth, or a combination of orthodontics and jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) for severe skeletal discrepancies in adults. Your orthodontist will explain the options after a thorough assessment.
Yes, retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment to prevent teeth from moving back to their original positions. Evesham Orthodontics Limited provides both fixed retainers (a thin wire bonded behind your front teeth, worn permanently) and removable retainers (clear plastic trays or Hawley retainers, worn nightly). You will need to wear removable retainers every night for at least the first year, then nightly or as directed long-term. Retention is a lifelong commitment — without retainers, teeth will gradually shift.
Your general dentist can refer you to Evesham Orthodontics Limited for orthodontic assessment. For NHS orthodontic treatment (free for under-18s who meet clinical criteria), a referral from your dentist is required. The orthodontist will assess using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) — treatment is provided on the NHS for patients with a clear clinical need. For private orthodontics, some practices accept self-referrals — contact Evesham Orthodontics Limited on the practice to check.
Yes, Evesham Orthodontics Limited may offer lingual braces — fixed braces placed on the inside (tongue side) of your teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. Lingual braces are custom-made for each patient and can treat most orthodontic conditions. They take some getting used to (temporary speech changes and tongue irritation are common initially). Lingual braces tend to be more expensive than conventional braces due to their complexity.
Treatment duration at Evesham Orthodontics Limited depends on the complexity of your case. As a general guide: simple alignment cases may take 6-12 months, moderate cases 12-18 months, and complex cases 18-30 months. Clear aligners for mild to moderate cases typically take 6-18 months. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised estimate at your consultation. Regular appointments (usually every 4-8 weeks) are needed for adjustments and monitoring progress.
