Children’s & teen fees

What treatment costs, set out plainly, including the one figure we cannot publish and why.

Every fee below is the full cost of that course of treatment with a Specialist Orthodontist. It includes all routine appointments while your child is in treatment, and 18 months of follow-up once they are out of it.

Why “price on request” for both phases together

It would be easy to add the two phase fees together and publish that number. It would also be wrong for most children.

When a child needs early treatment and then a full course of braces, the two are planned as one course of care rather than two separate jobs. How much is needed at each stage depends on how your child grows in between – which is not knowable at the outset, and differs enormously from one child to the next.

So Dr Dev quotes it after he has seen your child and looked at the x-rays, and that quote is the fee. The assessment costs you nothing, and you are under no obligation afterwards.

Paying for it

Spread the cost over up to 12 months, interest-free, paid directly to the practice. You pay a deposit when treatment starts and the balance in equal monthly payments. There is no interest and no charge for paying this way, so the total is simply the price of the treatment.

Because the plan runs for 12 months or less and is genuinely interest-free, it is an arrangement with the practice rather than a credit agreement – there is nothing to apply for and no credit check.

The £15 consultation deposit

Booking a consultation takes a £15 deposit, and it is credited in full against the £95 fee for an in-person consultation with Dr Dev — so it is not an extra charge.

If you decide not to go ahead with treatment, the deposit is refunded in full — just ask us within two weeks of your appointment date.

The deposit is non-refundable if you do not attend and do not let us know.
