Perfect bite

[Shahnaz]

My daughter is almost 12 and has been told that she will shortly need a brace. She does a lot of theatre work and she is really worried that a traditional brace will stop her from doing what she loves doing. Apparently she has a perfect bite but one of her teeth is set back due to overcrowding. I have seen that you say that the braces can cost £1450. What does that cost cover??

Thank you and best wishes

Hello Shahnaz,

Thank you for your post.

Invisalign has introduced a new product recently called invisalign teen. Invisalign teen is suitable for patients whose 12 year molars have erupted. If you have a perfect bite and only one tooth is set back due to overcrowding then your daughter will be suitable for invisalign teen. Traditional braces have many disadvantages compared to invisalign teen. Traditional braces show, can be painful and uncomfortable and are not removable. Fixed braces can also cause tooth decay and gum disease.

There are 3 levels for each invisalign case; Mild, moderate and severe. Mild cases cost from £1450 upto £2000. Moderate cases cost from £2000-£3000 and severe cases cost over £3000. The price you are quoted at Pearl will include all the records necessary to have invisalign, aligner fittings, retainers and free teeth whitening. There are no hidden charges. Teeth whitening is only offered to those above the age of 16.

Please contact the practise and book a free invisalign consultation for your daughter and we will be happy to help.
