There’s no doubt the best thing about braces and having orthodontic treatment is the moment when a patient removes their braces for the final time. We never tire of seeing that brilliant, flashing, wide new smile and the look of sheer joy on our patient’s face. It’s this very moment that makes working in orthodontics so satisfying and why we hear so many patients describe the feeling as “priceless”.

Knowing the price of everything and value of nothing is easy to say but the reality is in a Covid-19 world it’s har d to be certain what the future holds and that means everyone is more cautious about money and budgeting. Questions like how much does orthodontic treatment cost? and what will my braces cost? are often at the forefront of patients minds when they walk through the door at Park Lane Orthodontics in Reading.

Please continue to read for more information on braces and pricing or contact us to discuss all your options with our friendly staff.

Traditional Fixed Metal Braces

These braces are what most people still think of when considering orthodontic treatment. Made of strong, durable stainless-steel they’re both effective and affordable and suitable for correcting a range of orthodontic problems, including; severe crowding issues, spacing & gap issues, or issues with crooked bottom teeth. Although they aren’t the most visually appealing, patients benefit greatly from the strength and effective treatment results that metal braces offer and they are very popular for children’s orthodontics.

The average estimated cost of these braces is between £3,600 and £5,500. The final amount will depend on the personal treatment plan Mr Ben Buffham, our specialist orthodontist, creates for you.

Clear Braces

With all the benefits of traditional metal braces, clear braces are a newer, low-visibility option. Instead of metal brackets, the brackets are made from ceramics to match the colour of your teeth. Positive patient feedback on these braces is extremely high as patients love the “barely there” look they offer. They also provide quick, predictable results which means more peace-of-mind for ortho patients choosing this type of treatment.

The average estimated cost of these braces is between £3,600 and £5,500. The final amount will depend on the personal treatment plan Mr Ben Buffham, our specialist orthodontist, creates for you.

Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners are a very popular option for teens and adults looking for a new smile. Unlike fixed braces Invisalign puts control for maintaining braces back in the patient’s hands so is regarded as a more flexible option when it comes to teeth straightening. If we think you’re suitable for Invisalign then they’re usually just as effective as fixed braces with the added bonus of the following:

They’re invisible so no one need know you’re even having ortho treatment.

Easily removed before eating so you don’t have to worry about food getting caught in your braces.

No brackets means less irritation and discomfort.

Many adults worry about braces because they fear being judged, or worse, looking like a teenager again! Invisalign gives you the best of both worlds. So, how much does Invisalign cost? The price ranges from £4,000 to £5,500.

Lingual Braces

This orthodontic treatment could be described as the Rolls-Royce option for straight teeth. At Park Lane Orthodontics in Reading, Berkshire, our invisible brace treatments is the lingual brace, which fits on the inside of your teeth, making it the only truly invisible option. We offer two types of lingual brace system, the 2D brace system or more customised lingual brace systems.
