The right answer usually comes from the case itself, not from lifestyle preference alone. Across Weavers, the deciding factor is complexity far more than personal preference. Understanding where each treatment excels makes the decision much simpler.
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.
They struggle with big extrusions or intrusions, large overbite corrections, substantial root movement, extraction cases needing tight space control, and anyone likely to under-wear the trays.
Cases Where Braces Lead
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.
If it's the visibility putting you off braces, ceramic and lingual systems change that calculation — the latter invisible from the front — and are worth raising with Weavers providers.
Aligners vs Braces: the Price Picture in Weavers
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.
NHS treatment covers fixed braces for eligible under-18s free of charge. NHS aligners exist but are less common. Privately, both braces and aligners in Weavers typically run £1,500–£5,500 depending on complexity and inclusions.
