Common Questions

About Braces

Are braces painful?+
Some discomfort after fitting and adjustments is normal and usually passes within 2–3 days. Over-the-counter pain relief helps. Modern braces and aligners are designed to minimise discomfort throughout treatment.
How long will treatment take?+
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your case. Mild corrections can take 6–12 months. Most patients with metal braces complete treatment in 12–18 months. Complex cases may take 24 months or more. We give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
What age is best for braces?+
The ideal time for metal braces is usually age 11–14 when permanent teeth have come through. However, adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment at any age. Clear aligners are particularly popular with adults. There's no age limit for a straighter smile.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes. We understand orthodontic treatment is a significant investment. We offer flexible payment plans so you can spread the cost over the treatment period. Ask us about payment options at your consultation.
Will my NHIF / SHA cover braces?+
Coverage varies depending on your specific plan. Orthodontic treatment is sometimes partially covered, particularly for children. We recommend checking with your insurer. We accept AAR, Heritage, KCB, cash, M-Pesa, and credit/debit cards.
