Orthodontic Treatment Prices in Lamigo

The cost of straightening teeth in Lamigo runs from free NHS treatment for eligible under-18s to over £7,000 for complex private cases. Case complexity, appliance type and inclusions all move the total up or down. This guide sets out typical fees, what affects them, and how payment plans spread the cost.

Why Quotes Vary So Much

Treatment type is the biggest driver. Metal is cheapest, ceramic more, aligners and lingual more again — each appliance has different manufacture, fitting and adjustment costs.

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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.

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