It can be worrying if your braces don’t feel right or if you’re not seeing the results you hoped for. Many patients think they have to continue just because they’ve already invested time and money, but that’s not always the best choice.
👉 This is called the sunk cost fallacy: sticking with something that isn’t working simply because you’ve already started.
💡 The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck. What matters is making the best decision for your smile from today onwards.
At Aligned Orthodontics, we welcome patients who have started treatment elsewhere. We’ll review your braces, check your progress, and give honest advice on the best way forward.
⚖️ A note on fees: In most cases, we do charge the full treatment fee when taking over care. This is because we’re responsible for your treatment results from that point onward. Often, we need to spend extra time correcting previous work, updating records, or even replacing appliances to make sure you get the best possible outcome.
✨ Remember: the right treatment is always the one that leads you closer to a confident, healthy smile, and we’ll support you every step of the way.
