Inside your braces quote

If you’re looking into braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, Angel Aligners or Spark Aligners, you might be comparing quotes from different practices. It’s not always obvious what’s included and understanding what goes into a quote makes it easier to compare your options.

In this blog, we’ll help you understand the value behind your quote so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

Why quotes for braces can differ

Every smile is unique, which means every treatment plan is tailored to you. At Splash Orthodontics, the quote you receive reflects a combination of factors including the type of treatment, the complexity of your case, the quality of materials and equipment we use and the specialist care you’ll receive.

Your choice of appliance

We offer a range of options to suit different smiles and lifestyles. Traditional fixed braces, clear brackets and clear aligners all involve specific appliances, lab work and planning, which are reflected in your quote. Each option has its own benefits, and we’ll help you find the one that works best for your smile and your routine.

Complexity of your smile

Some cases need only minor adjustments, while others require more detailed planning, additional appliances or longer treatment times. Your quote reflects exactly what you need to achieve the best possible result.

Specialist care and who you see

Your quote also reflects the care you’ll receive from our team. You’ll see your dedicated, highly trained orthodontist at key appointments, supported by our orthodontic therapists and nurses. As a dedicated orthodontic practice, we focus on giving every patient personalised attention, making sure your treatment is carefully planned, closely monitored and tailored to you. We’re also open five days a week and on hand if anything needs attention between visits.

Quality of care and equipment

We invest in the tools and technology that make treatment more precise and more closely monitored. That includes advanced imaging, high-quality appliances and Dental Monitoring – an AI-powered tool that keeps track of your progress between appointments.

Follow-up care and aftercare

Your quote doesn’t just cover the time you wear braces or aligners – it includes everything you need to maintain your smile afterwards. This includes both fixed and removable retainers to keep your teeth in place and 12 months of aftercare. For adult patients, we also include complimentary whitening at the end of treatment.

Full transparency from start to finish

Our quotes cover everything, from your personalised treatment plan to your retainers. There are no hidden fees – everything is included. We also offer payment options as well as discounts for students and NHS staff.

Private consultations are free if you’re 18 or over. Under 18s can ask their dentist for a referral for NHS braces or book a private consultation for £99, which can be put towards the cost of treatment. Your specialist orthodontist will examine your teeth and jaws, discuss your goals and provide a personalised quote. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s involved and what it will cost – with no obligation to proceed.
