WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR INITIAL VISIT?

Starting your smile transformation in Birmingham

Your orthodontic journey begins with a free consultation at our Harborne practice. You'll meet with our friendly treatment coordinator, Cleo, who will take photographs and digital scans of your teeth using our iTero 3D scanner and discuss your smile goals.

This no-pressure appointment lasts approximately 30 minutes and gives Birmingham, Selly Oak, and Harborne residents all the information needed to make an informed decision about teeth straightening treatment.

HOW IS MY TREATMENT PLANNED?

Digital precision for your Birmingham smile

Once you decide to proceed with treatment at our Harborne practice, we'll create a detailed digital treatment plan. For Invisalign patients, this involves a computerised projection showing how your teeth will move throughout treatment.

For fixed braces patients from Smethwick and surrounding areas, our specialists carefully map out the optimal approach for your specific needs, considering factors like tooth movement sequence and estimated treatment duration.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TREATMENT BEGINS?

Your first active treatment appointment

When you return to our Birmingham practice to begin treatment, we'll either fit your braces or provide your first set of aligners. This appointment typically takes about 45 minutes, during which your orthodontist will place brackets and wires for fixed braces patients or provide detailed instructions for Invisalign patients.

Our team ensures that Quinton and Balsall Heath patients leave this appointment feeling confident about managing their orthodontic treatment at home.

  • Fewer Practice Visits - Reduce the number of in-person appointments whilst maintaining close supervision from our specialist team

  • Faster Treatment Times - More frequent virtual check-ins can lead to quicker adjustments and potentially shorter overall treatment duration

  • Real-Time Feedback - Receive prompt guidance and reassurance from our team through the smartphone app

  • Lifestyle Flexibility- Perfect for busy professionals, students, or anyone with a demanding schedule who values time efficiency

WHAT IS THE ONGOING TREATMENT LIKE?

Regular progress check-ups in Birmingham

Throughout your treatment at Signature Orthodontics, you'll have regular progress appointments at our Harborne practice. Fixed braces patients from Birmingham typically visit every 6-8 weeks for adjustments, while Invisalign patients from Northfield and Rubery generally need check-ups every 8-12 weeks.

With our Dental Monitoring service, some virtual check-ins may reduce the need for in-person visits, which is particularly valuable for Smethwick and Rednal patients with busy lifestyles.

HOW WILL MY TREATMENT END?

Completing your orthodontic journey in Birmingham

When your teeth have reached their ideal positions, you'll return to our Harborne practice for the exciting day when your braces are removed or your final aligner is complete. Birmingham patients often describe this as their favorite appointment!

During this visit, your orthodontist will remove all brackets and adhesive (fixed braces patients), take final records to document your transformed smile, and create digital scans for custom retainers.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY TREATMENT?

Aftercare and retention support

Your relationship with Signature Orthodontics doesn't end when your active treatment concludes. All Birmingham patients receive 12 months of aftercare, including regular retention reviews to ensure your new smile remains stable.

Many patients from Northfield, Quinton, and Balsall Heath also choose to enhance their newly straightened smile with professional teeth whitening treatment, available at special discounted rates for our orthodontic patients.
