Option 1: Invisalign around Chester

Instead of using brackets or wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your smile to realign your teeth.

You’ll even get to see what the results will look like before you commit to treatment during a consultation to see if it’s worth it for you.

Invisalign can take anywhere from 7 weeks to 12 months to straighten teeth. It might be the most suitable option for patients who want:

A discreet way to straighten teeth
Removable aligners
Fewer food restrictions
A treatment option that fits around work, school or social life
A solution for mild to moderate crowding, spacing or relapse

At our practice, Invisalign costs from £1,500. Finance available from £43 per month using interest-bearing finance.

Option 2: ClearCorrect aligners

ClearCorrect is an alternative clear aligner system. Like Invisalign, ClearCorrect is removable and uses transparent aligners that gradually move teeth over 3 to 12 months.

ClearCorrect costs from £1,500 per arch:

Pay from £120 per month (12 months interest-free)
Single arch treatment from £1,500
Appointments, reviews and adjustments included
One set of removable retainers included

Option 3: Fixed metal braces

Metal braces are the traditional route to correct often severe bite problems, especially when more complex tooth movement is required. They are a common recommendation for patients under 18 who meet the NHS eligibility criteria. White, ceramic braces are only available privately. The same can be said for Lingual Braces, which are fixed and sit behind the teeth, often costing upwards of £5,000.

Fixed braces are likely the most suitable if:

The case is more complex
Teeth need significant movement
The patient may struggle with clear aligner compliance
NHS orthodontic treatment is available, and the patient qualifies
Appearance is less of a concern than function

NHS braces vs private braces

NHS braces in Chester are only available for children under 18 if there is a critical need – not every child will qualify, and they will only be offered fixed metal braces. Adults will have to consider straightening their teeth privately.

For a wider range of orthodontic solutions, clear aligners, ceramic braces, lingual braces and cosmetic orthodontic options are available through private practices and can be suitable for children, teens, and adults.
