Orthodontic Price Guide for Kennoway

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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.

Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.

Practice location and overheads vary across Kennoway — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.

Cost Context for Kennoway

Expect private full fixed brace treatment costs in Kennoway to fall roughly between £1,500 and £5,500. Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
