What Are Children’s Braces?
Children’s braces are orthodontic treatments designed to guide the development of teeth and jaws while your child is still growing.
Early treatment can help correct bite issues, create space for incoming teeth, and reduce the need for more complex treatment later in life.
At Green Street Dental Practice in London, we provide a range of options including fixed braces, functional appliances, and retainers.

How Much Do Children’s Braces Cost in London?
The cost of children’s braces depends on the complexity of the case and whether treatment is provided privately or through the NHS.
Private orthodontic options may include:
Best for minor alignment issues such as small gaps or slight crowding. A quicker Invisalign option designed for subtle smile improvements.
Ideal for moderate alignment concerns including mild spacing or crowding. Offers more flexibility while still providing efficient results.
Recommended for complex alignment issues including crowding or bite problems. Provides a fully customised treatment plan.
When Should Children Have Braces?
Children can usually begin orthodontic treatment once their adult teeth start developing, typically between ages 10 and 13.
Early assessments may be recommended even sooner to monitor jaw development and detect issues before they become more complex.
Orthodontic treatment for children may also be available under the NHS, depending on eligibility.
