Your Treatment

Understand our process and what your typical appointment schedule will look like.

Before Treatment

This is the initial contact between you (or your child) and Dr. Masters. We carry out an extensive and thorough clinical examination and our aim is to answer any questions or possible doubts you may have regarding your orthodontic treatment.

This is a very informal appointment where we get to meet you. We know that some people don’t particularly like visiting the dentist and we want you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Our aim is for you to go home with the as much information as possible and for all your questions and doubts to be answered. We want to get to know you and your wishes and concerns and want to make you feel welcome with our somewhat different approach.

You tell us the reason for your visit (cosmetic, functional, pain) and we will briefly explain to you if there is any type of malo-occlusion present and if so, which treatment modality best fits your personal needs.

Your Second Visit

When you are ready to begin your orthodontic journey with us, the next step is to take full orthodontic records. No need to worry about those horrible and uncomfortable impressions of your teeth anymore. We are a choke free practice!!! We have a state of the art intraoral camera ( 3D scanner) that allows us to obtain a much quicker and more accurate copy of your teeth and bite. At this appointment, we take a full series of intraoral and extraoral digital photographs, panoramic Xrays, a lateral Cephalometric Xray, Intraoral scans, bite registrations and in certain cases complementary 3D Xrays (CBCT) of your teeth, jaws and/or Temperomandibular Joints (TMJ’s). Once we have gathered all this data, we have the necessary information to study your case. This enables us to formulate a comprehensive problem list and consequently a suitable diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.

Your Third Visit

At this appointment Dr. Masters will sit down with you and analyse the diagnostic findings obtained in the previous Records appointment. We will show you personalised presentation of your case and explain the possible treatment option(s) available to you. We will illustrate the types of appliances that might be suitable for your particular case, their cost and an estimate of how long your treatment might take and answer any questions or doubts you might have: will it be painful? Do I need extractions? etc. Once you and Dr. Masters agree and decide on the best available option, we will then be able to give you a final quotation for your treatment. This will depend on the complexity of your problem(s) and on the type of appliance you choose. We pride ourselves in being honest and upfront and as such, any quotation we give you at Masters Orthodontics is set in stone with no hidden costs, extras or small print.

During Treatment

Depending on the type of treatment chosen, tend to see you every 6-8 weeks for follow up appointments. Appointment length might vary depending on what is being done that day but no appointment is less than 30 minutes.

We usually take control photographs at every visit so that we can monitor and assess the progress of your treatment.

After Treatment

This is what we call the Retention phase. Once treatment is finished, we do not want your teeth to move back (relapse) to their initial position. This phase is just as important as the active phase of treatment.

We usually give you a fixed retainer as well as a removable one for you to sleep with. It is essential that you follow the instructions given for their use to prevent any unwanted movement after you obtain your perfect smile.

We will then see you periodically for retainer check controls for one year after you have your braces off.

I was with Laurence for my invisalign treatment and I could not be happier with the results. Not only is Laurence a highly skilled orthodontist but he is also a great communicator who makes his patients feel at ease and... in safe hands. I could not recommend him highly enough and feel very fortunate that I used Laurence for my treatment.read more

I had an Amazing experience with Dr. Masters.I always wanted braces as a child and regretted not having them done when I was younger. As a child they told me 4 of my healthy teeth would be removed and the place I... attended wasn’t a nice experience I didn’t end up going ahead with the procedure as a child.Getting into my late 20’s I started to get more self conscious about my smile, started to hide the way I was smiling in photographs and in front of other people.After doing some research with a family member at the end of covid I stumbled over Dr. Masters at masters orthodontics. I did an online consultation and quickly felt at ease that something could be done with my over crowding.He created more room in my teeth which meant I didn’t have to loose any teeth.Since Iv had my braces off now and iv had so many compliments.Lovely clean practice, highly professional and great experience.I will recommended Dr. Masters to everybody.Great experience, thank you again.5 star 🌟read more

I had been so unhappy with my smile since I was a teenager but Dr Masters has transformed it for the better! He is a genuinely lovely person and made me feel so at ease as I was very anxious about finally getting fixed... braces at the age of 36! He is professional, yet friendly and discussed everything at each appointment. He always listened to my concerns and answered all of my many questions! It was a complex case but the difference he has made is remarkable. I am absolutely delighted with the end result. Thank you Laurence, you are magic!read more

Throughout my adult life, I have seriously regretted not getting my teeth braced as a kid, and as I got into my late twenties and early thirties, I became so self-conscious of my smile. I’d find myself doing silly... things like trying my best not to smile during conversations and when I meet new people. I was just embarrassed.Finally I decided to get my teeth sorted, but I was nervous about the whole thing. I spoke to a whole bunch of specialists in this area before I finally met Laurence, and he was the only person who I had met who truly understood my concerns and made me feel at ease. I was sold on him and his team immediately and it might have been one of the best decisions I have ever made.Laurence braced my teeth and gave me advice on getting my teeth slightly widened with dental bonding and some whitening for the perfect smile.I have just had my engagement party, and people who I hadn’t seen for a while were telling how great my teeth were and how much of a difference it has made. I can’t even believe the transformation when I look at the photos. I wish I could add a photo to this review but Google won't let me!Finding the right person who is so knowledgeable, and who deals with an area which is the source of your insecurities is a difficult job. If you are like me, self conscious of smiling and feel like you can’t be yourself, I highly recommend Laurence and his team (even just for a chat), you won’t regret it. My only regret is I didn’t find him sooner.Thank you, Laurence + team, I feel proud to smile now.-Robread more

Growing up my teeth were terrible and I was very self conscious about them, I never had braces as a child so it went through my teens and early adulthood, I met Laurence about 3 years ago and it was probably one of the... best decisions I ever made, it was a lot of money but I wouldn't change a thing. Laurence is great, very patient and understanding especially because I wasn't the easiest to work with we had some problems opening my brackets. I would recommend him to anyone.read more

We are extremely grateful to Dr. Laurence Masters at “Masters orthodontics” in Chester who managed to fix our son’s orthodontic issues just in a year time. We were lucky to find him as at the age of 9 (our son’s age)... there is no orthodontic treatment offered by NHS and for many cases it is better the treatment to start as early as possible. Dr. Masters was extremely professional and kind in all our visits and we would highly recommend his services to anyone in need!Darinaread more

Before having braces treatment, I decided to do some research on orthodontics, and this is how I found dr Laurence Masters. As a specialist, he came highly recommended, and all his patients were delighted with his... services. I went for a consultation, and was indeed impressed! He is very friendly, smart and a master ( maybe this is where his name comes from?) when it comes to braces, teeth and co. I am so happy with the outcome, his experience and expertise delivered lovely results!!Thank you for my new healthy and beautiful smile!read more

Best orthodontist in the realm!! Honestly, I cannot praise dr Laurence enough! He was able to help me from the first appointment, explained how the system (jaw muscles teeth) connects, assessed me as a whole human and... addressed all the issues in a very professional and friendly manner. I had massive jaw and muscles pain, went to a couple of doctors and no one gave me any answers. Luckily, found him and he has impressive knowledge about everything, not just teeth! Plus, he is genuinely nice and cares a lot about his patients. If you’re looking for exceptional service then look no further, you’ve got your man here!! I couldn’t be happier with my treatment, and I know I’m the best of hands. Would definitely recommend 5 star is not enough. Thank you for everything, I will be forever grateful!read more

Had Invisalign treatment (top and bottom teeth) with Dr Masters from Feb '19 to March '20. Great professional and friendly service, options thoroughly explored and explained which was required as I had a tricky... situation with a remaining baby tooth to work around. Very pleased with the results, everything went smoothly in line with predicted time frames. Highly recommend Dr Masters to anybody else considering teeth straightening procedures.read more

I was very impressed with Dr Masters' approach, he took his time to explain the different treatment options for my particular dental problem. I have been suffering with jaw pain for several years and in 45 minutes Dr... Masters managed to explain to me what no one had been able to do for 20 years. I am very happy with the treatment and I no longer suffer from headaches and jaw pain. I highly recommend him.read more

I was recommended to see Laurence for my orthodontics and it's so worth it!I travel all the way from Oldham to Chester every 6 weeks for my treatment and wouldn't change that for anything.He is very professional and... extremely knowledgeable in this field, yet treats you just like a family friend and is somebody who I would certainly recommend to see, whatever your concerns may be, he is the man!I'm half way through my treatment, currently have fixed braces on and there has been so many positive changes so far... I can't wait till it's all complete, thanks again Laurence!read more

I have recently started Invisalign treatment with Dr. Masters and so far I am really happy with it. Laurence is knowledgable, friendly and very professional. He takes the time to explain procedures and has a true... passion for his work.He offers the latest 3D technology instead of the horrible mold they usually take of your bite. He uses a camera that instantly projects your teeth on a screen - amazing technology and no discomfort.With English not being my native language, I was so happy that I could explain everything to him in my own language as he speaks Spanish, Portuguese and English all fluently! I highly, highly recommend him!!read more
