Unusual question but a broad spectrum of folk here.
What are peoples experiences of getting a brace in the North vs South in terms of price and quality and recommendations.
Have a teen that needs braces ! |

"One of our twins got the bottom half of his braces in last week he's only 10 so it's all done through the NHS otherwise it would be expensive "
We're expecting it to run I to the thousands.
We have heard that's it's cheaper in the North.
To save time on doing research we're hoping to get some advice here (Not the most obvious forum to post but we're hoping the good people of fab can help) |

I had to get three of my kids fitted with braces. Granted it is a few years ago.
I got it done in Enniskillen solely because it was the nearest orthodontist to me at the time.
There are a few in Sligo now and a new one in The Canopy. shopping centre.
Any orthodontist will give you a quotation after a quick inspection.
Hello again by the way  |

I've honestly no idea on regards to quality but I know that my dentist has a long list of clients from almost every county in Ireland and a large proportion of those travel to have braces fitted and maintained.
He regularly has families who travel up the night before and stay locally and even with the travel costs and accommodation it's much cheaper.

"My daughter had hers done.. top and bottom.. €3500 private ortho, braces on for 18minths her teeth are fabulous.
I’m considering having mine done at the ripe old age of 53… "
Thats very reasonable imo,would love mine done too but might work out cheaper to get them all pulled and get falsies at my age 😬😬 |

Thanks for the posts guys.
We will of course be doing our own research and pricing up places, but always good to hear other people's experiences.
There's always an assumption that things are cheaper across the border |

One thing to bear in mind is that you'll probably be going for check-ups every six weeks or so, regardless of the length of time they're on, anywhere between 12 and 24mths. |

found private dental care in NI to be of excellent standard and about 1/3 to 1/2 less expensive for same proceedures as in the south. - yes can be a hassle to travel but im close to a motorway and occasionally had the pleasure of staying over with friends... (you know who you are, you sexy beasts!) |
