Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of braces in Nairobi?

The cost of braces at Braces & Smiles Clinic typically ranges from KSh 150,000 for a full treatment, depending on whether you choose metal, ceramic, or clear aligners. We offer flexible monthly payment plans starting with an initial deposit to make orthodontic care affordable.

How long does it take to see the results of orthodontic treatment at Braces and Smiles Clinic?

Most orthodontic treatments take between 12 and 24 months. While minor alignment issues with clear aligners can sometimes be resolved in as little as 6–9 months, complex bite corrections with traditional braces may require up to 30 months for optimal results.

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional metal braces?

Yes, clear aligners are highly effective for treating mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues. However, for severe structural misalignments or complex jaw corrections, our specialists may recommend traditional metal or ceramic braces, as they provide more precise control over individual tooth movement.

How much do dental implants cost at your Kilimani clinic?

A single dental implant at Braces & Smiles Clinic generally starts from KSh 150,000. This includes the titanium post, the abutment, and the final porcelain crown. We use 3D CBCT imaging to ensure precise placement and long-term success of the implant.

Does the clinic accept insurance for dental procedures?

Yes, we partner with major insurance providers in Kenya, including Jubilee, UAP Old Mutual, Madison, AAR and Britam. Coverage varies by policy, so we recommend bringing your insurance card for a pre-authorization check during your initial consultation.

Is dental implant surgery painful?

No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, meaning you will not feel pain during the surgery. Most patients describe the post-operative sensation as mild discomfort, similar to a tooth extraction, which is easily managed with routine pain relief medication for 3–5 days.
