Services

At JHB Orthodontist, we provide comprehensive orthodontic treatments tailored to your needs. Our services include:

• Initial Consultation: Dr. Esra carries out a thorough examination and intra-oral assessment to evaluate your current dental status. He will discuss the potential treatment options and determine if orthodontic care is right for you at this stage.
• Pre-Treatment Records: If orthodontic treatment is necessary, we collect essential information for diagnosis and treatment planning. This includes:
  • Clinical photographs of your face and jaw
  • Digital X-rays of your teeth and jaws
  • Possibly a wrist X-ray to assess growth
  • Digital scans or impressions for dental study casts
• Treatment Planning: After gathering all the necessary records, Dr. Esra will discuss your personal goals and the benefits of orthodontic treatment. The process includes:
  • Reviewing the types of braces available for your needs
  • Estimating the duration of treatment, including the active braces phase and retention period
  • Discussing expected outcomes, potential risks, and the estimated cost of treatment
• Payment Options: We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans to make your journey to a healthy smile both achievable and manageable.

Once you agree to the treatment plan, we will begin your orthodontic care.
