Teeth straightening via the NHS has the advantage that it is usually free to under 18’s and could be cheaper for adults wanting to achieve straighter teeth.
However, there are many more advantages to undergoing teeth straightening via a private dental clinic. Here at Pearl, we offer a range of invisible and specialist orthodontic treatments delivered by highly trained dental professionals.
Teeth Straightening NHS
NHS teeth straightening often means a traditional fixed metal brace that takes a significant amount of time to produce results. Although this may be a free or cheaper treatment it can end up becoming very frustrating.
Advantages of Private Orthodontics
- There are many more options to explore at a private clinic. These include Invisalign, Fixed Braces and Lingual Braces.
- Patients do not need to fit specific criteria to access treatment.
- Private clinics often have more appointments available and have more extensive opening times. These include evening and weekend appointments. Most NHS clinics operate from nine to five, Monday to Friday.
- There are no waiting lists with private orthodontic treatment.
- Here at Pearl, we also have a registered Specialist Orthodontist to treat complex orthodontic issues.
- Teeth straightening treatments from a private clinic can be completed in as little as three months in some cases.

We are a fully private practice. If you would like to book a FREE invisible brace consultation or a Specialist Orthodontist appointment you can call the clinic. In addition to our orthodontic services, we can provide other cosmetic dentistry treatments. These include teeth whitening, anti-ageing injections, tooth contouring, and wedding smile makeovers.
