Metal braces have a bad reputation – one that we feel is undeserved! They can be an incredibly low-cost and effective orthodontic solution for patients with mild to severe misalignments.
Save on your new, straight smile
Although they may not have the most subtle appearance, metal braces cost much less than you might think. In fact, they are one of the most cost-effective treatment options at our private dentist in London.
At Ten Dental, the cost for metal braces starts from as little as £1,750. This price is for a ‘lite’ set of braces, where only four teeth on the top or bottom row need straightening. It costs £2,510 to straighten four teeth on both the upper and lower row.
A set of metal braces for either the upper or lower set of teeth costs £3,285, whilst two complete upper and lower sets cost £3,995.
How does this cost compare to other types of braces?
Typically, the cost for metal braces is significantly less than other options such as lingual, ceramic, and clear plastic aligners. Here is a rough breakdown of the differences in cost:
- Ceramic braces can cost around £500 more than metal ones.
- Invisible options like Invisalign can cost £750 more.
- Lingual braces (fixed behind the teeth) can cost £1,500 more.
What are the benefits?
Besides the cost for metal braces, there are multiple reasons why they might be your orthodontic treatment of choice.
For starters, they are one of the most effective methods of moving crooked teeth. If you have a severe misalignment, metal braces are the most likely to give you your desired result.
Metal Braces are the most versatile orthodontic treatment because they are suitable for practically everyone. Unlike other braces and devices, they can produce a large amount of movement and are suitable for most complex cases.
Although they might seem like the least discreet option, the system has come a long way in recent years and is more subtle than ever.
What are the downsides of metal braces?
Despite innovations with metal braces, they are still the most visible of options. If your misalignment is less severe, you might choose to opt for a more discreet option like ceramic or Invisalign aligners.
One other potential disadvantage is that metal braces can be uncomfortable at times. This option is especially true at the beginning of treatment, and the braces may require regular adjustments during the treatment process.
Why wait?
