Braces for children, teenagers & adults

When working with our orthodontists, we’ll use braces to realign your smile and improve the bite’s function and aesthetics. We’ll also plan your orthodontic treatment to improve the appearance of crooked, protruding, and crowded teeth and address bite conditions like overbites, crossbites, and open bites. Whatever your misalignment issue, we can straighten teeth in as little as 3 months.

Cost of braces

Free orthodontic consultations

The below prices include both arches (upper and lower teeth). If you want to straighten just one arch, the price is half.

COST PER TOOTH

Veneer Type Cost
Ceramic Braces £3,500 (upper and lower)
Self-Ligating Braces £3,250 (upper and lower)
Metal Braces from £3,000 (upper and lower)
Invisalign Lite £4,950 (upper and lower)
Invisalign Full £5,500 (upper and lower)

Depending on the type of braces you choose, the price can vary. For example, Invisalign is more expensive than fixed braces, because it uses patented materials that straighten teeth faster, more comfortably and discreetly.

Fixed braces will likely be your cheapest option, but they’ll also most likely take the longest – but again, this will depend on how severe your bite problem is.

The process of straightening explained

The Invisalign process

You’ll have a series of customised Invisalign aligners, which you will swap out and change around every two weeks, to gradually move and straighten your smile over time.

You won’t need to come into the practice for your new aligners, or for any adjustments – leaving you to continue your treatment in peace and private.

Metal braces process

Metal braces use a system of brackets and wires that apply constant pressure to shift teeth into their correct position. Metal braces will need several adjustments, where patients will be required to come into the office once every two weeks or so to have them tightened.

Ceramic braces process

Just like metal braces, ceramic braces work by applying continuous pressure to teeth over a longer period of 18-24 months. Ceramic braces are slower because even they have the benefit of being white, the material is not as strong as metal or plastic and as a result, shift teeth more slowly into their right alignment.

Self-ligating braces process

Self-ligating braces, differing slightly to metal, use specialised clips in place of elastics that help the arch wire guide teeth into their correct position. The clips do not put as much pressure on the tooth, which decreases the number of adjustments you’ll require as there are no elastics to replace.

Invisalign - probably the best choice for adult braces

Invisalign® Is An Innovative And Technically Advanced Aligner System Consisting Of Clear, Near Invisible Trays.

These removable, completely custom-designed aligners are meticulously engineered from a highly elastic, transparent and clinically tested material for ultimate style, discretion, movement control and comfort.

The many advantages of Invisalign make them an incredible choice for adult braces. They’re not as obvious to the eye and can be removed for important events or when eating.

Plus, since Invisalign has revolutionised the orthodontic world, it does not have the same stigma that’s commonly attached to metal braces.

They’re a thin, comfortable, very clear plastic that fits your teeth perfectly – so they’re not like the thick and bulky retainers you might remember from childhood. Not to mention, you can be done with treatment much more quickly.
