Why iSmile
Good orthodontic care begins with listening. We look beyond straight teeth to consider your bite, your goals and the practical details of your life. The result is a plan that makes sense for you.
Treatment options
There is more than one way to get there.
We’ll discuss the benefits and limits of each option after a proper assessment, then recommend the approach that fits your case.

Clear aligners
A discreet option that fits around daily life. We plan each stage digitally and assess whether aligners can achieve the movement your teeth and bite need.
Discuss your options
Meet your clinician
A personal approach, grounded in experience.
Dr Frans Kruger is a dental surgeon whose work focuses on orthodontic treatment. He has cared for patients in this field for more than 16 years and has offered Invisalign treatment since 2021.
His approach is to make the treatment plan understandable: what we can improve, what it will ask of you, and how we will protect the result afterwards. He sees patients in Hermanus, with appointments also available through the Stellenbosch and Bredasdorp rooms.

Your first visitUnderstand your options.
Understand your options.
Take your time.
Wondering whether it’s time for orthodontics, what treatment might involve or how much it could cost? You can start with a mini consultation before committing to X-rays and full records.
We assess your smile
Dr Frans assesses your face and smile from the outside, then examines your teeth and bite inside your mouth. Together, these help us understand your orthodontic needs.
We take a 3D scan
A digital scan gives us an interactive, three-dimensional view of your teeth and bite to explore together.
We sit down together
Dr Frans talks you through the scan, your orthodontic needs and the treatment options. For younger patients, parents join the conversation so everyone understands the possible next steps.
What happens next?
You’ll have a clearer picture of whether it’s time for treatment and which options to consider. If you’re ready, you can proceed with X-rays and full records at the same visit, or return for records when you’re ready for treatment.
What about costs?
The mini consultation lets you explore your options before committing to the additional costs of full records. Ask the practice to confirm the mini-consultation fee when you book.
What should I bring?
You don’t need to bring anything. Simply arrange your visit by WhatsApp or a call to the practice.
