Frequently asked questions
at Neo Orthodontics

What is orthodontic treatment and how does it work?

Orthodontic treatment gradually moves teeth into their ideal position using gentle, consistent pressure. At Neo Orthodontics across Newcastle and Northumberland, our specialist orthodontists use fixed braces or clear aligners to create this movement, resulting in a straighter, healthier smile. With over 100+ years of combined experience, our team understands the precise forces needed to achieve optimal results efficiently.

Why should I choose a specialist orthodontist rather than a general dentist?

While some general dentists offer basic orthodontic treatments, specialist orthodontists have completed an additional 3+ years of intensive training focused exclusively on tooth and jaw alignment. At Neo Orthodontics in Newcastle and Northumberland, our specialists have treated thousands of cases across our four locations, giving them the expertise to handle even complex orthodontic challenges with predictable, excellent results.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?

Most orthodontic treatments at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices take between 12-24 months, though this varies based on your specific needs. Our award-winning specialists use advanced technologies like 3D iTero scanning and Dental Monitoring to often achieve results faster than traditional approaches. During your free initial consultation, we'll provide a personalised timeline for your unique situation.

Will orthodontic treatment be painful?

Most patients at Neo Orthodontics experience only mild discomfort for a few days after adjustments or when changing to a new aligner. Our specialists across Newcastle and Northumberland are experts at calibrating treatment forces for maximum comfort while achieving efficient tooth movement. We provide comprehensive advice and care kits to manage any temporary sensitivity, and our team is always available to help if you have concerns.

Is orthodontic treatment just cosmetic, or are there health benefits too?

Orthodontic treatment offers significant health benefits beyond aesthetics. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth also distribute biting forces evenly, preventing uneven wear and potential jaw joint problems. Our Newcastle and Northumberland specialists focus on creating balanced, functional smiles that look beautiful and contribute to your overall oral health for years to come.

Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment, or is it just for teenagers?

Absolutely! At Neo Orthodontics, we treat many adult patients across our Newcastle and Northumberland locations. There's no age limit for achieving a confident smile, provided your teeth and gums are healthy. Our advanced treatment options like Invisalign, clear braces, and Iconix braces are particularly popular with our adult patients who appreciate more discreet orthodontic solutions. Many of our adult patients tell us their only regret is not starting treatment sooner!

What is Invisalign and how does it compare to traditional braces?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. As Platinum Elite Invisalign providers in Newcastle and Northumberland, Neo Orthodontics offers this discreet alternative that's removable for eating and cleaning. While traditional braces are fixed in place, Invisalign offers greater flexibility and comfort with comparable results for most orthodontic issues when supervised by our specialist team.

Am I a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment in Newcastle?

Most patients seeking orthodontic treatment across our Newcastle and Northumberland practices are suitable for Invisalign. As Platinum Elite providers with thousands of successful cases, our specialists can treat increasingly complex cases with Invisalign, from mild crowding to more significant bite issues. During your free consultation, we'll use our 3D iTero scanner to create a simulation of your potential results, helping you visualise your new smile before committing to treatment.

How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?

For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, only removing them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth. Our Newcastle and Northumberland patients who follow this guidance consistently achieve the best outcomes in the shortest timeframe. With our Dental Monitoring app, we can track your progress remotely between appointments, ensuring your treatment stays on track while minimising visits to our clinics.

How do you keep track of my Invisalign progress?

At Neo Orthodontics, we combine in-person check-ups with cutting-edge Dental Monitoring technology for Invisalign patients across Newcastle and Northumberland. This smartphone-based system allows you to send regular scans of your teeth, which our specialists review remotely. This means fewer clinic visits while maintaining close supervision of your treatment, perfect for busy professionals or patients who live further from our four convenient locations.

Will Invisalign treatment affect my speech?

Most of our Newcastle and Northumberland patients experience minimal speech changes with Invisalign, typically just a slight lisp that resolves within a few days as you adjust to wearing the aligners. Our experienced team will provide advice to help you adapt quickly. Should you have an important presentation or event, remember that Invisalign offers the flexibility to briefly remove your aligners if absolutely necessary – an advantage over fixed braces.

What happens after I complete my Invisalign treatment?

After completing your Invisalign treatment at any of our Newcastle and Northumberland locations, you'll receive retainers to maintain your new smile. At Neo Orthodontics, we include retainer checks at 3 and 12 months as part of your treatment package. Many of our patients also choose to enhance their newly straightened smile with professional teeth whitening, which we offer at a special rate for existing orthodontic patients.

What types of fixed braces do you offer in Newcastle and Northumberland?

At Neo Orthodontics, we offer several fixed brace options across our Newcastle and Northumberland practices: traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Iconix champagne-coloured braces. Each type is fitted and monitored by our specialist orthodontists. Your choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, treatment needs, and budget – all of which we'll discuss during your free consultation to find the perfect solution for your smile.

How long does treatment with fixed braces typically take?

Treatment with fixed braces at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices typically takes 12-24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Our specialist team's extensive experience often allows us to achieve results more efficiently than general dentists offering orthodontic treatment. During your specialist consultation, we'll provide a personalised estimate for your specific situation and explain how our treatment approach is designed to achieve optimal results in the shortest appropriate timeframe.

Do fixed braces hurt?

Most patients at Neo Orthodontics experience temporary discomfort for 3-5 days after having braces fitted or adjusted at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices. This sensation indicates teeth are starting to move and typically subsides quickly. Our specialists are skilled at applying appropriate forces to minimise discomfort while achieving efficient tooth movement. We provide comprehensive care kits with orthodontic wax and advice on managing any initial tenderness.

What foods should I avoid with fixed braces?

With fixed braces at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices, we recommend avoiding very hard foods (like nuts and hard sweets), sticky foods (like toffee and caramel), and minimising sugary snacks and drinks. Our Neo Orthodontics team provides a detailed food guide and a free care kit when your braces are fitted. Following these guidelines helps prevent damage to your braces and keeps treatment progressing smoothly without unnecessary repair appointments.

How often will I need to visit for adjustments with fixed braces?

Most patients with fixed braces at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices visit every 6-8 weeks for adjustments. We offer evening appointments until 8pm at our Ashington and Quayside locations and Saturday emergency appointments for your convenience. Our specialist orthodontists carefully plan each adjustment to progress your treatment efficiently while maintaining comfort, ensuring your time with us is well-spent and your treatment stays on schedule.

Are repairs to fixed braces included in the treatment cost?

Yes, at Neo Orthodontics across Newcastle and Northumberland, we include repairs to brackets that break during normal treatment as part of our comprehensive service. This gives our patients peace of mind knowing they won't face unexpected costs for standard repairs. We also provide detailed care instructions and a free brace care kit to help prevent damage, along with 24/7 emergency advice for our patients if issues arise outside regular hours.

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist in Newcastle?

We recommend bringing your child for an initial assessment at Neo Orthodontics between ages 10-11, though earlier visits may be beneficial if you notice issues with tooth development or jaw alignment. Our specialist orthodontists across Newcastle and Northumberland have extensive experience evaluating children's developing smiles and can identify potential problems early. This proactive approach often simplifies later treatment and may reduce the need for tooth extractions.

What is early interceptive orthodontic treatment and does my child need it?

Early interceptive (Phase One) treatment at Neo Orthodontics addresses developing orthodontic issues in children aged 7-11 before all permanent teeth erupt. This might involve guiding jaw growth or creating space for emerging teeth. Our specialists across Newcastle and Northumberland are particularly skilled at identifying when early intervention would benefit your child, potentially simplifying later treatment. Not all children need this approach, but when appropriate, it can prevent more complex problems developing.

How can I help my child adjust to wearing braces?

Our team at Neo Orthodontics provides comprehensive support for children adjusting to braces across our Newcastle and Northumberland practices. We recommend soft foods for the first week, provide orthodontic wax to prevent irritation, and demonstrate proper cleaning techniques. Our child-friendly approach includes clear explanations and regular encouragement. Parents consistently tell us they appreciate our patience and how we involve children in understanding their treatment, helping them take ownership of their smile journey.

What happens if my child damages their braces or loses their retainer?

If your child damages their braces, contact any of our Newcastle and Northumberland practices promptly so we can arrange a repair. For NHS patients, repairs are covered as part of treatment. If a retainer is lost or damaged, a replacement fee applies, though we always assess each situation individually. With Saturday emergency appointments available across our practices, we ensure problems are addressed quickly to keep your child's treatment on track.

How do I help my child clean their teeth properly with braces?

Maintaining good oral hygiene with braces is crucial. At Neo Orthodontics, we provide detailed demonstrations for both parents and children across our Newcastle and Northumberland practices, along with free care kits containing specialised toothbrushes, interdental cleaners, and orthodontic wax. We recommend supervising younger children's brushing and scheduling regular dental check-ups alongside orthodontic appointments. Our team is always available to offer refresher guidance if cleaning becomes challenging during treatment.
