Children’s Braces
Does your child need braces?
We can help.
Unfortunately not all children/teenagers meet the criteria to have their teeth straightened with public funding.
As a private practice, we are able to help children/teenagers who would like to:
- Improve the appearance of their smile
- Improve their confidence to smile
- Improve their bite
- Improve their ability to be able to clean well
- Have discreet braces
- Avoid fresh breath anxiety.
We take a sensible, pragmatic and ethical approach. We work with both the child and the parents/carers to ensure the most suitable solution is offered.
Average starting age:
- 12-13 years but this varies.
- Our current youngest patient is 8!
- Most commonly used Braces – Clear, fixed Braces (not too much metal)
- Average Costs – £2.5k-£4k. Monthly payment options are available (including 0% Finance).*Terms apply
