Who it is for

Straighter teeth without the metal, the wires or the waiting

Plenty of the teenagers we see are not worried about orthodontics. They are worried about photos. They have started smiling with their mouth closed, or turning their head in pictures, and most parents notice it before anything gets said.

Clear aligners are removable and barely visible. They come out for meals, for sport and for school photos. There are no brackets to rub, no wires to tighten and nothing to break at the wrong moment. For a self-conscious fifteen year old that is often the difference between agreeing to treatment and refusing it.

Most teens on this plan do not meet the NHS orthodontic criteria, or they qualify but the wait does not suit them. What we treat here is mild to moderate crowding and spacing. Anything more complex goes to an orthodontist.

If your teen qualifies for NHS braces, we will tell you, and we will refer you. This plan is for the ones who do not.

Everything included

One price. Nothing added on later.

  • A specialist orthodontist at 32Co plans and reviews your teen's case
  • All aligners for both arches, with any attachments needed
  • Every appointment, and a check-in each month while they are in treatment
  • Any refinements needed within 18 months of the fitting
  • Lost aligner cover, two sets
  • A bonded retainer behind the front teeth plus a removable retainer set at the end
  • An Airflow Spa Clean once treatment is finished

If a tooth needs to be removed as part of the plan, that is £150 per tooth and we tell you before you commit. Whitening is not included because it is not available to under-18s, so the Spa Clean takes its place.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one is free

Step one

Free assessment

Thirty minutes with one of our dentists, with a parent present. We check whether your teen is suitable, talk through the NHS position honestly, and take a digital scan so you can see what is possible. A £20 deposit holds the slot and is refunded when you attend, or comes off treatment if you go ahead.

Step two

The plan

A specialist orthodontist at 32Co reviews the scan and plans the movement. You see the plan and the price before you decide anything.

Step three

Treatment

Aligners are fitted here in Sale. Appointments are short, we time fittings to school holidays where we can, and we check in every month.

Step four

Retainers

A bonded retainer and a removable set to hold the result, with retainer checks at six and twelve months.

What the Teen Smile Plan costs

£2,999

One price for the whole plan, agreed at the assessment and confirmed before you commit. Priced separately, the retainers, the refinement, the lost aligner cover and the Airflow Spa Clean would come to £1,029 of the total.

Pay in two parts. £1,500 when you go ahead and £1,499 when the aligners are fitted. Your teen's aligners are ordered as soon as you go ahead, so please be sure before the first payment.

Or spread the cost. Interest-free finance over 12 months is available on treatment plans (representative 0% APR). The Teen Smile Plan works out at £249.92 a month.

Representative example: cash price £2,999, deposit £0, 12 monthly payments of £249.92, total amount payable £2,999, 0% APR representative. Finance is provided through Tabeo, subject to status and affordability. Applicants must be 18 or over, so finance for the Teen Smile Plan is taken in a parent or guardian's name. Sale Dental Spa is a trading name of Aisha Ahmed, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 672980. We act as a credit broker, not a lender, and offer finance products from Tabeo.

Questions parents ask

The things families want to know

Why would we not just wait for the NHS?

If your teen meets the NHS criteria we will refer you, and that treatment is free. Most teens on this plan do not meet the criteria, or their family would rather not wait for an assessment and then a treatment start date.

Are your dentists orthodontists?

No. Dr Mark and Dr Hamza are dentists who provide clear aligner treatment. Every Teen Smile Plan case is planned and reviewed by a specialist orthodontist at 32Co before treatment starts, and throughout.

What if my teen does not wear them?

Aligners need to be worn for about 22 hours a day, and that is the honest limit of this treatment for some teenagers. We check in every month, and if a case drifts we refine the plan at no extra cost within 18 months. If wear is going to be a battle, fixed braces may be the better option and we will say so at the assessment.

What if they lose one?

Two replacement sets are included in the price.

Is the price really one price?

Yes. £2,999 is agreed at the assessment, before you commit, and covers everything listed above. The only thing that could be added is a tooth removal at £150 per tooth, and you would know about that before you decide.

What happens once we go ahead?

The £1,500 is taken when you accept the plan and your teen's aligners are ordered straight away, because every aligner in the course is manufactured at the start. That is why we ask you to be sure before the first payment. If treatment does stop early, we will fit retainers at whatever position has been reached at no extra cost.

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. We take a £20 deposit to hold the slot, which is refunded when you attend or comes off treatment if you go ahead. Two full working days' notice keeps the deposit if you need to rearrange.

Can we come after school?

Yes. Assessments and most appointments are available after school, and we time fittings to school holidays where we can.

Does my teen need a parent with them?

Yes. For under-16s a parent or guardian consents to treatment. For 16 and 17 year olds we ask a parent to be present too, and finance is always taken in a parent's name.
