The majority of people in the world naturally have some sort of overcrowding or misaligned teeth, and this is through no fault of their own.

Even if your teeth were straight at the age of fifteen, over time, they often move. If you don’t like the appearance or function or find it difficult to brush and floss, then consider getting your teeth straightened. With Invisalign® and adult orthodontics, achieving the smile you always dreamed of doesn’t have to be a big deal. It barely has to impact your day-to-day life at all.

NHS guidelines are very strict about who can receive orthodontic treatment on the NHS, and many people go without professional treatment due to this.

If you do not qualify for NHS treatment, you can still have a brace privately. One of the options available is Invisalign® – the clear alternative to braces, or should you wish to have a conventional approach to orthodontics, we are pleased to offer our patients fixed (train tracks) appliances too!

Our skilled dental surgeons are happy to discuss a personalised treatment plan with you upon an initial assessment.

Please be advised that the initial consultation cost is normally £50.00.

The treatment process

At your initial assessment, we will discuss your treatment plan with you. Usually, the first appointment will consist of impressions, whereupon a cast will be made of your teeth to show how your teeth are currently positioned and an X-ray to assist your dentist in planning your treatment.

At your second appointment, your chosen brackets will be bonded onto your teeth using specific dental materials. Once the brackets have been placed on a metal wire, rubber bands will be attached to the brackets to realign your teeth. In dentistry, we call this treatment phase bonding.

If you suffer from overcrowding, you may need one or more teeth extracted to make space for your remaining teeth to move into. If needed, this will be discussed with you at your initial assessment.

You will be required to attend appointments for your brace to be checked and tightened every six to eight weeks. Once you have had your brace in place for the specific time needed, a de-bond will take place, whereupon, your wire, rubber bands and brackets will be removed. An impression will then be taken, and a cast will be made to show what position your teeth have moved to. Once the cast has been made, our laboratory technicians will make you a retainer to be worn.

Treatment options

Nowadays, orthodontics has come a long way, and the use of clear, nearly invisible braces can usually replace the conventional fixed brackets and wires in orthodontics. Please see the Invisalign® section of our website for more information on Invisalign®.

The cost of Invisalign® is dependent on the specifics of your case, such as the complexity of your straightening issue and the required length of treatment. This means you will not receive an exact cost until you visit an Invisalign® provider.

As a general rule, the cost is comparable to traditional fixed braces. Although only an Invisalign® provider can fully determine your cost, prices for the Invisalign® treatment are generally between £1995 and £4500. However, if only minor tooth movement is required, prices could start from £1500.

Conventional brackets for children: from £2500
Conventional brackets for adults: from £3500
White Brackets: Base cost above, plus £50.00 per white bracket.

Please note that only white brackets will be used on the front upper teeth (UR3 to UL3).

Whichever option you may choose if you are unable to pay the full amount upfront. Wensleydale Dental Practice is pleased to offer several types of finance, including 0%, subject to terms and conditions. Please speak to our reception team, who will happily arrange a convenient time for you to discuss the options further with a suitably trained member of staff.

We are happy to answer any questions you have surrounding our treatments.
