Braces in a Day

Your exam and your braces, in one visit.

Skip the weeks between consultation and fitting. If braces are right for you, our specialist team can fit them on the same day as your exam.

How it works

Four steps, one appointment.

Everything a standard start takes over two or three visits, brought together into a single, unhurried appointment.

1

Book online or call

Choose a Braces in a Day appointment and complete a short medical history form before you arrive.

2

Specialist exam and records

Dr O’Connor examines your teeth and bite, and we take a 3D scan, photos and any X-rays needed.

3

Your plan, explained

We talk you through your options, timing and fees, and answer every question. No pressure to decide.

4

Braces fitted, same visit

If braces are right for you and you’re happy to go ahead, we fit them there and then. You leave with your care kit.

Is it right for me?

Made for people who are ready to start

A great fit if…

You’ve already decided you’d like braces
Your schedule makes extra appointments hard
You’re travelling in from further away
Your teeth and gums are healthy, with a recent dental check-up

We may need a second visit if…

Teeth need to be removed before braces start
There’s gum disease or dental work to finish first
Your case needs jaw surgery or extra planning
You’d prefer clear aligners, which take a few weeks to make

If braces can’t start on the day, you’ll still leave with your full plan, and your exam counts towards your treatment.

Before your visit

What to bring

Dental check-up

A check-up with your own dentist in the last 6 months, so we know your teeth and gums are healthy.

Medical history

Complete our short online form before your visit, including any medicines or allergies.

Parent or guardian

Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian with them to give consent.

Time and a snack

Allow around 2½ hours. Eat beforehand, and brush and floss before you arrive.

Questions

Good to know.

Can’t see your question? Call us on (01) 492 0622 and we’ll happily talk it through.

Is it really all done in one visit?

For most patients, yes. Your exam, records, treatment plan and fitting all happen in the same appointment. If something needs attention first, such as an extraction or a check-up with your dentist, we’ll explain why and book your fitting for the earliest date that suits.

Will I have to decide on the day?

No. We’ll talk you through your options, timing and fees, and you’re welcome to take them away and think it over. If you’d rather wait, we simply book your fitting for another day.

Does getting braces fitted hurt?

Having braces fitted isn’t painful. Your teeth may feel tender for a few days afterwards as they begin to move, and we’ll give you a care kit and advice to keep you comfortable.

How much does it cost?

The fee depends on the type of braces and the length of your treatment. You’ll get a clear written quote before anything is fitted, and payment plans are available to spread the cost.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. You can book directly with us online or by phone.

Can I get clear aligners the same day?

Clear aligners are custom-made from your 3D scan, so they take a few weeks to arrive. We can complete your exam, scan and plan in one visit, then fit your aligners as soon as they’re ready.

Ready when you are

Walk in for your exam. Walk out with braces.

Braces in a Day appointments are limited each week, so book early to secure your place.
