What do lingual braces and invisible braces cost

Q. Hello, my 17 year old daughter has slightly crooked teeth at the bottom and was not keen on getting fixed ‘train tracks’ as she will be heading off to University soon. I was wanting to enquire about Invisible braces- and the cost for her age. She would need to have a top and bottom set. Also, a friend mentioned Lingual braces which I think would be a good idea- are they costly and are they effective? Thanks

A. Invisible braces will cost the same for a given problem - not age dependant.  In my practice we charge £3400.  Lingual braces are often an option  but are usually more expensive due to the difficult nature of their position ( tongue side rather then lip side )
