Orthodontic Treatment Prices in Moulton

The cost of straightening teeth in Moulton 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. Below we break down NHS and private pricing and the finance options available locally.

Why Quotes Vary So Much

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 (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 Moulton, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
