Thinking about treatment for your teenager?
Parents often ask whether clear aligners are an option for teenagers. They can be for some, but it's worth knowing a few facts first:
- Under-18s need a parent or guardian involved in their enquiry and in any decisions about treatment
- On the NHS, orthodontic treatment for under-18s is available when a dentist or orthodontist assesses that there's enough clinical need. Your family dentist can tell you whether a referral is appropriate
- Clear aligners only work if they're worn for around 20 to 22 hours a day, so your teenager needs to be fully on board
- A dentist will check whether the teeth and jaws are at the right stage of development
If your child may qualify for NHS treatment, ask your family dentist about that first. Private treatment, including clear aligners, is an option for those who don't qualify, or who would prefer a different type of treatment.
And for adults
Most people who ask us about aligners are adults who have wanted straighter teeth for years, often since school. There's no set upper age limit, as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Many adults choose aligners because they're discreet and can be taken out for meals, but a dentist will tell you whether they suit your teeth.
Adult treatment is usually private, so it helps to understand prices before you start. As well as the cost of the aligners themselves, ask about reviews, refinements and retainers, so you can compare quotes on a like-for-like basis.
Making a decision as a family
If you're looking into treatment for yourself and a family member at the same time, mention it when we're in touch. Your partner location can explain how appointments would work for each of you, and whether it makes sense to start at the same time.
For the pros and cons of each option, read our guide to clear aligners vs braces, or see our clear aligner cost guide.
What do clear aligners cost in Tameside?
As a guide, treatment with My Cosmetic Aligners starts from £995. Practices set their own prices, so your final price depends on how much your teeth need to move and what your provider includes. It's confirmed at your consultation, before you commit to anything. Some providers offer payment options, so ask what's available. Our clear aligner cost guide explains UK prices in more detail.
