Braces & Aligner Costs in Taverners Green

The cost of straightening teeth in Taverners Green 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.

Why Quotes Vary So Much

Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.

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 affects the total — treating both upper and lower costs more than one arch alone. Confirm whether a quote covers both before comparing.

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 Taverners Green, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
