Children can be treated privately for the following reasons:

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRACES ARE AVAILABLE:

NON-EXTRACTION TREATMENTS:
Slenderising of teeth and expansion techniques are used to reduce the need for extractions.

APPOINTMENTS:
Priority is given for early morning and late afternoon appointments. Out of school appointments are guaranteed if required.

Following an assessment and detailed examination , a written quote is given to confirm the treatment aims, the length of the treatment and the cost.

PRIVATE CHARGES:
Initial examination and consultation, to include models of the teeth and all necessary x-rays,and a second consultation if required. - £80

Treatment is normally then charged on an appointment basis. The written quote will state the maximum number of appointments required. If more appointments are required , there are no further charges. If fewer appointments are required, then the treatment is charged on a pro-rata basis.

Removable brace appointment is charged at £90 on the day of fitting and then £60 per appointment

Treatment with fixed braces is charged at £440 per arch and thereafter at £95 per appointment.

INVISALIGN is charged as follows:

At the first appointment there is a charge of £80 for the initial consultation to assess suitability. Photographs, x-rays and models are taken. The photographs are then sent to Invisalign in the United States and subject to Invisalign confirming that the treatment can be carried out using this technique; a detailed written quote is given.

In order to provide all the information required by Invisalign, you are then booked in for one hour when detailed impressions are taken. The impressions are sent to Invisalign in the United States. There is a charge of £270 for this appointment.

A further appointment is then made 2 to 3 weeks later by which time Invisalign will have produced the proposed treatment result which can be seen on the computer monitor.

Invisalign will also have calculated how many aligners are required. Each aligner is replaced every two weeks and therefore we will know how long treatment will take. At that point, if you decide to go ahead with treatment, there is a charge of £2000 and we instruct Invisalign to start manufacturing the aligners.

The aligners are normally ready within one month and again you would be booked in for a further long appointment to fit the first aligners. The aligners are charged at £84 per set of upper and lower aligners and you are normally provided with 2 or 3 sets of aligners per appointment. Therefore you would need to pay either 2 or 3 x £84 at each visit.

An average treatment takes approximately 20 sets of aligners, a mild case approximately 10 sets and a severe case approximately 30 sets.

CLEARSTEP is charged as follows. Mild treatment which would take up to 8 months to align the teeth is charged at £720 per arch. Moderate treatment which would take up to 16 months is charged at £1180 per arch. Severe treatment which would take more than 8 months is charged at £2100 per arch.

We are now able to offer private orthodontic treatment from as little as £30 per month. Details are available from reception.
