Which Cases Suit Clear Aligners?
Light-to-moderate crowding, spacing and mild bite correction fall squarely in aligner territory — provided the patient will commit to the daily wear the system depends on.
Their limits show up in complex vertical movements, extraction space control and low-compliance patients — situations that reward continuous, non-removable force.
Which Cases Suit Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces cover a wider span of complexity. Applying continuous force without relying on compliance, they suit complex movements, extraction and space management, significant bite correction, and younger patients who may struggle with aligner discipline.
Ceramic and lingual options narrow the aesthetic gap considerably; lingual braces are hidden from the front entirely. In Stubbings they're worth asking about when you want discretion but your case may be beyond aligners.
How the Costs Compare in Stubbings
Like-for-like, the two are close on price, with aligners edging slightly higher except on the simplest cases. What really separates quotes is what's included when refinements or extra trays become necessary.
On the NHS, eligible under-18s get fixed braces free of charge; aligners are rarely NHS-funded. Private fees for either in Stubbings sit around £1,500–£5,500, driven by case and inclusions.

Moderate to complex cases typically take 12–24 months with either treatment. Aligners may take slightly longer than braces for equivalent case complexity if compliance is less than the required 22 hours per day.
