If you’re thinking about straightening your smile, your first orthodontic consultation is the perfect place to begin. At Liverpool Orthodontics, we understand that visiting a specialist for the first time can feel a little daunting. That’s why we’ve designed the consultation process to be simple, informative, and reassuring — giving you everything you need to make confident decisions about your treatment.

Here’s what you can expect when you book a free consultation with our experienced orthodontist, Dr Eva Low, and her friendly team.

Before You Arrive

When you book your free consultation, our team will guide you through the process and answer any questions. To make the most of your visit, it’s helpful to bring along:

  • Any recent dental records or X-rays (if available).
  • A list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss.
  • Information about your dental and medical history.

Preparing this in advance ensures Dr Low can provide tailored advice from the very beginning.

A Warm Welcome

From the moment you walk into our Liverpool clinic, you’ll be greeted by our welcoming staff and friendly reception team. Patients often comment on how approachable and professional our team is, which helps set the tone for a comfortable and positive experience.

Meeting Your Specialist

Your consultation will be led by Dr Eva Low, our highly experienced orthodontist with over 20 years in the field. She’ll start by asking about your concerns and goals, whether it’s improving your bite, achieving a straighter smile, or exploring discreet options like clear aligners.

Comprehensive Examination

Next, Dr Low will carry out a gentle but thorough examination. This may include:

  • Checking the alignment of your teeth and bite.
  • Taking photographs for records and treatment planning.
  • Using advanced tools like our digital scanner, which creates a precise 3D model of your teeth without messy impressions.
  • Ordering X-rays if needed, to assess jaw structure and tooth positioning.

This step gives a complete picture of your orthodontic needs.

Exploring Treatment Options

Once the examination is complete, you’ll discuss your treatment options in detail. Depending on your age and dental condition, these could include:

Each option will be explained with its benefits, estimated timeframe, and what day-to-day life with the appliance involves.

Costs and Payment Plans

One of the biggest questions patients have is about cost. During your consultation, we’ll outline the professional fees, explain what’s included, and discuss payment options. Our goal is to make treatment accessible with flexible payment plans so you can focus on your smile, not your budget.

After the Consultation

By the end of your visit, you’ll have:

  • A clear understanding of your orthodontic needs.
  • Professional recommendations tailored to you.
  • An overview of costs, timelines, and next steps.

If you choose to begin treatment, we’ll book your first fitting and explain how to care for your new braces or aligners. You can also explore our Gallery to see inspiring before-and-after results.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Consultation

  • Write down any questions you have beforehand.
  • Be honest about your concerns — whether it’s appearance, comfort, or budget.
  • Ask about lifestyle adjustments, such as diet changes with braces or wear time for aligners.
  • Don’t be shy about expressing your goals — your smile is unique, and your treatment plan should reflect that.

Your first orthodontic consultation is an exciting step toward achieving the smile you’ve always wanted. At Liverpool Orthodontics, we’re here to make the journey stress-free, transparent, and tailored to you.
