Adult orthodontic treatment options at The Oakwood Clinic
Invisalign
These clear aligners are moulded specifically for your teeth to give you a comfortable fit and they’re also removable, making it easy to eat, drink and brush your teeth when you need to. Invisalign® is a great choice for those looking for a discreet treatment option. Price depends on treatment complexity.
From £5,000 for adults
From £4,500 for teens
From £3000 for early orthodontics
Fixed Braces
Though this form of treatment has been around for a long time, fixed brace technology has made huge strides of progress. Metal braces are much smaller and less conspicuous than they used to be. Fixed braces are attached to the front of the teeth using wires and brackets, and gradually adjust teeth into optimum position. Price depends on treatment complexity.
From £4,500 for ceramic or all gold
From £4,000 for metal
Retainers
Retainers can be removable or fixed and hold the teeth in the new position to help maintain your new smile for life. Retainers are included in the treatment fee, but replacement retainers are chargeable. These replacement retainers can be for our own patients or others who have had treatment elsewhere.
£150 per removable retainer
£500 for 3 sets (3 upper/3 lower) removable retainers
£300 per bonded (fixed) retainer

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our adult orthodontic services at The Oakwood Clinic.
Is orthodontic treatment only for children?
No, orthodontic treatment is suitable for adults as well. Many adults choose to straighten their teeth to improve their smile and dental health, and modern orthodontic treatments at The Oakwood Clinic offer discreet options that fit into your lifestyle.
How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?
The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of braces used. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 12 months to 24 months. We’ll discuss your individual timeframe for treatment as part of your treatment plan.
Are there discreet options for braces?
Yes! We offer clear aligners like Invisalign and ceramic braces, which are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. These options provide a more discreet way to straighten your teeth without sacrificing effectiveness.
How often will I need to visit the clinic during treatment?
Most patients with braces will need to visit the clinic every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. However, for those using clear aligners, follow-up appointments are typically every 6 to 8 weeks. To make your orthodontic journey more convenient, we also offer remote and video consultations for retainer checks, as well as Invisalign Virtual Care, allowing us to track your progress from the comfort of your home with fewer trips to our clinic.
Can I eat and drink normally with braces?
With clear aligners, you can remove them to eat and drink, which makes mealtime easy. With traditional braces, you’ll need to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods to prevent damage to the braces.
Will orthodontic treatment be painful?
Orthodontic treatment may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments. However, this discomfort is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.
What happens after my braces are removed?
After your treatment, you’ll be given a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Retainers can be either fixed or removable and are crucial to maintaining your new smile for life.
