The cost of straightening teeth in More runs from free NHS treatment for eligible under-18s to over £7,000 for complex private cases. Understanding what drives the price, and what should be included in the fee, helps you compare quotes accurately. A photo assessment helps you gauge likely complexity before comparing quotes.
Paying for Orthodontic Treatment in More
Most private orthodontic practices in More offer payment plans — typically 0% or low-interest monthly instalments spread over the course of treatment (usually 12–24 months). This makes private treatment much more financially accessible. A deposit of 10–25% of the total fee is usually required to start treatment, with the balance spread over equal monthly payments.
Always check whether the payment plan is in-house (directly with the practice) or through a finance provider such as Chrysalis Finance or Medenta. In-house plans typically have no credit check; third-party finance plans involve a formal credit application.

Case complexity moves the price more than anything else — a short mild course is a fraction of a complex full-arch treatment with mid-course corrections. Only a clinician can grade it, though a photo review hints at it early.
