Will I Get Breakage Appointments and Retainers Included with My Orthodontic Treatment?

When you're considering orthodontic treatment, it’s completely natural to wonder what’s included in your treatment plan, especially when it comes to unexpected things like breakages and retainers. At Aligned Orthodontics, we believe in clear, honest care from the very beginning, so here’s everything you need to know.

✅ Are Breakage Appointments Included?

 Yes - breakage appointments are included in your treatment with us. We understand that life happens - brackets can come loose or wires might need adjusting. If anything like that occurs, our team is here to help. As long as your breakages aren’t due to repeated neglect (like chewing hard or sticky foods we’ve advised against), there’s no additional fee. Our goal is to keep your treatment on track and stress-free.

🦷 Are Retainers Included?

 Yes - your first set of retainers is fully included in your treatment fee. Once your braces come off or your aligner treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with a custom retainer to help keep your smile perfectly in place. We’ll also guide you on how to wear and care for them, and include follow-up retainer reviews as part of your aftercare.

⚠️ What About Additional Retainers?

 If you lose or damage your retainer or simply want a spare set, any additional retainers will not be included in your treatment package and will incur an extra charge. We always recommend looking after them carefully, as they play a vital role in maintaining your new smile.

💡 Why It Matters

 At Aligned Orthodontics, we’re committed to offering specialist care with transparent pricing. That means:

 No hidden fees for standard breakage repairs

 First set of retainers and aftercare included

 Clear communication around any additional costs

 So you can start your smile journey with confidence, knowing exactly what’s covered.
