James’s orthodontic clinic

13 year old is being seen next week. We’ve waited a few years on the list. Anyone attending with their teens? Any advice to offer? That article in the Irish Times on Tuesday has really put me off. Thanks

First visit will likely be for consultation/treatment plan.
All you need to find out is what date treatment will start, how many weeks between adjustment appointments, & approximately how long treatment will take in total.
It's a good idea to bring your child for a checkup with a general dentist, before they see the orthodontist, so any decay/gum disease is treated& they're good to go without delay.
