Cost of treatment
This is dependent on the type of treatment required. Each case is assessed individually at the initial consultation. The consultation fee is £100, and we have three levels of service depending on the time of day appointments need to be made.
Payment plans are available with a five per cent discount for payment in full at the beginning of the treatment. Or, with a deposit, payments by standing order may be spread interest free over the period of time patients are wearing the appliances.
Child treatment
An orthodontic assessment at an early age will give your child the best opportunity for a healthier and more beautiful smile. Our goal at Trinity House is to provide each patient with the most appropriate treatment.
A check-up may reveal that your bite is fine. Or it may reveal a developing problem which needs to be monitored by an orthodontist so the child may benefit from early treatment.
An orthodontist can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth whilst some teeth are still growing.
Patients aged 16 years and over will require private treatment.
