How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost in How Green?

Price is often the deciding factor when choosing orthodontic treatment in How Green. Case complexity, appliance type and inclusions all move the total up or down. Payment plans can make private treatment accessible even on a tighter budget.

What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.

Case complexity moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.

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 essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.

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

Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in How Green, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
