Costs, payment plans and NHS questions

How much do braces cost in the UK?

Private braces in the UK typically cost £1,500 to £8,000 for a full course, depending on the type: metal braces £1,500–£3,500, ceramic braces £2,000–£4,500 and lingual (hidden) braces £4,000–£8,000. The price also depends on case complexity, the practice's location and what the fee includes, so a quote should itemise records, appointments, refinements, emergencies and retainers. NHS braces are free for eligible under-18s.
