Teeth moved after braces?
Straightening teeth again with private braces or clear aligners.
Going ahead with treatment? Your £155 assessment fee is deducted. When you choose private treatment after your private assessment, the £155 already paid is taken away from your overall treatment cost. If you use our payment plan, we take it off the £900 deposit, so your deposit is £745 and the monthly amounts do not change. Cross-border (HSE) patients are not included.
Teeth keep moving throughout life. If yours have shifted since previous orthodontic treatment – often because retainers were not worn – we can usually straighten them again.
If we did your original braces, it will cost £1,245 per arch (£2,490 for upper and lower) for us to treat you again to straighten your teeth. If not, our standard private prices below apply. See retainers.
Retreatment is private. A second course of treatment is never paid for by the health service.
Braces or aligners
Retreatment can be done with metal braces or Smartee clear aligners. Aligners are often a good fit for minor movement (relapse). Your clinician will explain which options suit your teeth.
Private prices
Metal braces and clear aligners are the same price, set by how complex your case is:
| Assessment | £155 |
|---|---|
| Payment plan | Pay a £900 deposit, then the rest in 12 monthly payments. A £150 plan fee is added to the remaining balance and divided across your 12 monthly payments. |
| Sibling or parent offer | Any sibling or parent of one of our patients who chooses private treatment receives 10% off. Free assessment offer: parents and siblings of anyone currently in health service (NHS) or private treatment with us are being offered a free private assessment (usually £155). See our sibling or parent offer. |
At your assessment, the orthodontist will explain which treatment is right for you, and the fee.
Keeping your teeth straight afterwards
- Once retreatment is finished, you will need retainers.
- Wear your retainers every night while you sleep – roughly 8 to 10 hours a night.
- Teeth keep moving throughout life, so keep wearing them.
