Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about adult braces in London.
New patients can book their first hygiene appointment for just £49 — a full 30-minute visit including airflow, ultrasonic scale and polish. See our pricing page for full details.
Most healthy adults benefit from 6-monthly visits. Those with gum disease, implants or heavy stain-forming habits (smoking, coffee, red wine) may benefit from 3–4-monthly appointments.
Modern airflow cleaning is far more comfortable than old-school hand scraping. Ultrasonic cleaning causes mild vibration but very little sensation. Sensitive patients can request numbing gel or a slower approach.
Hygiene removes surface staining — which can reveal your natural shade underneath — but doesn't whiten the tooth itself. For an actual shade change, see our teeth whitening page.

Modern airflow technology has transformed hygiene appointments. Here's the difference.

| Stain removal | Excellent — reaches every surface | Limited to visible surfaces |
| Implant safe | Yes — won't scratch | Risk of surface damage |
| Appointment time | Generous, unhurried | Often longer |
| Brace and retainer friendly | Yes | Harder to reach wires |
| Typical result | Smooth, bright, fully clean | Variable |

Getting the most from your hygiene visit
- Mild gum tenderness for 24 hours is normal
- Avoid staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, curry) for 24 hours
- Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste — we can recommend one
- Clean between teeth daily — interdental brushes for gaps, floss for tight contacts
- Reduce sugary snacks between meals — frequency matters more than quantity
- Book your next visit before you leave — every 6 months, or 3–4 for higher-risk mouths
