Cost and finance guides for comparing orthodontic quotes, payment plans, hidden fees, deposits and regional price differences. Each guide in this section is written in plain English and links to the treatment, cost, or NHS pages you need next. How do I know which guide to read first? Start with the guides listed under "Start With These Guides" above — they cover the most common questions people have about costs & finance. If you already know what you're looking for, browse the full list below or use the search on the main Guides hub. Do these guides replace a clinical consultation? No. The guides explain typical options, costs, and timelines so you can ask better questions, but only a GDC-registered clinician examining your teeth, bite, and X-rays can confirm what treatment is right for you. How do I get a personalised cost estimate after reading these guides? A remote photo assessment lets a clinician review guided photos of your teeth and give an indicative treatment recommendation and cost range, so you have a realistic starting point before booking an in-person consultation. ## Ready to get your quote? Upload your photos and get clinician-reviewed options for braces or clear aligners.
