Getting orthodontic treatment from Edgerley

From Edgerley the nearest practice is The Dental Spa and Skin Clinic in Bicton, 7.4 miles away.

Within 10 miles there are 12 practices, and within 20 there are 16.

Ways to reduce the cost of finding out what is right for you: Wrexham Dental Works (20.1 miles) mentions a free consultation, and 21 of the practices around Edgerley list clear aligners, the nearest 7.4 miles away.

For NHS treatment, which is free for eligible under-18s and reached by dentist referral rather than by contacting a practice: NHS dental services around Edgerley are commissioned by NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board, and the nearest practice listing NHS orthodontics is St Johns Hill Dental in Shrewsbury, 9.2 miles away.

Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Edgerley to The Dental Spa and Skin Clinic is roughly 15 minutes each way. A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 190 to 380 miles and 5 to 10 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £85 to £170 in running costs. Clear aligners usually need fewer visits, perhaps 6 to 10 (about 120 to 190 miles), so ask any practice how many a plan for your case would involve before you commit to the journey. About 5.8% of households in the surrounding census area have no car, for whom the journey means public transport or a lift.
