Orthodontic Treatment Prices in Roehampton and Putney Heath

The cost of straightening teeth in Roehampton and Putney Heath 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. This guide sets out typical fees, what affects them, and how payment plans spread the cost.

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 is the second big lever: the harder the case, the longer the course and the higher the fee, whatever you're treated with.

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 are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.

Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.

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