How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost in Draycot Foliat?

The cost of straightening teeth in Draycot Foliat runs from free NHS treatment for eligible under-18s to over £7,000 for complex private cases. What's included in a quote matters as much as the headline figure when you compare providers. A photo assessment helps you gauge likely complexity before comparing quotes.

Why Quotes Vary So Much

Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.

Case complexity adds to it regardless of appliance — more movement means more trays or adjustments, more visits, and more of the clinician's time.

Number of arches affects the total — treating both upper and lower costs more than one arch alone. Confirm whether a quote covers both before comparing.

Retainers are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.

Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Draycot Foliat usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
