Every patient’s condition and Treatment Plan will be unique to them. Treatment prices will therefore reflect the cost of each bespoke patient Treatment Plan. Some orthodontic conditions are straight-forward to correct and others more complex. This directly correlates to the costs of achieving your desired outcome.
Costs are typically constructed from 3 parts of your teeth straightening journey:
Costs are made up of any initial Clinical Smile Assessment consultation, x-rays and visuals records.
If your orthodontist recommends further clinical pre-treatment this might incur costs - for example if you need a tooth extraction.
The main part of your orthodontic treatment is the brace appliance or aligner and this makes up the majority of costs. As a guide, metal braces are the least expensive. Ceramic braces may cost more than metal braces and lingual braces are often the most expensive brace system option.
At the end of treatment, you will have a retainer fitted or be provided with a removable retainer, depending upon what the dentist recommends. These are not expensive but form an essential part of your overall Treatment Plan.
