Clear Braces in London

Clear braces in London, also known as ceramic braces, function the same way as traditional metal braces. But clear ceramic braces are comparatively more subtle and discreet. Clear braces contain ceramic brackets which are similar to your tooth colour and thus appear virtually invisible. This is what makes them suitable for both children and adults.

Patients preferring invisible orthodontic options can consider our lingual brace systems such as Incognito. Orthodontists fit these braces to the inner surface of your teeth, next to your tongue.

What are clear braces?

Clear braces contain ceramic brackets perfectly matching with your natural teeth colour, which are attached to your teeth with the help of a wire. This wire gets gradually straightened during your braces treatment, aligning your teeth in their final position. While the wire is often made of metal, the braces are made of your tooth colour and this is they are named as clear braces. This enables patients take a more subtle approach to their treatment.

Your Journey through Clear Braces Treatment

Initial Consultation

At the beginning of your braces treatment, our orthodontic team holds a consultation session with you where you get to discuss your problems and concerns. Our dental experts try to evaluate your dental needs and discuss your goals for orthodontic treatment.

Customisation and Preparation

Once our orthodontic team finds you eligible for braces treatment and you decide on getting the braces, our experts collect precise impressions of your teeth. These measurements and impressions are taken to design your braces, custom made as per your unique smile.

The Trial

Next our orthodontist attaches the custom made, tooth coloured braces to your teeth. This marks the beginning of your treatment, and draws you one step closer to your dream smile.

Regular Adjustments

After your treatment is done, our orthodontist will schedule some follow-up appointments to check the effectiveness of the treatment and make necessary adjustments, if necessary.

The Final Day

After you achieve your targeted dental alignment, our orthodontist will remove your braces and reveal your straight and beautiful smile.

Taking Care of Your Clear Braces

  • Brush and floss regularly to avoid plaque build-up and staining of your tooth coloured braces.
  • Use fluoride toothpaste and a toothbrush with soft bristles to gently clean your wires and brackets.
  • Use a floss threader daily to floss between your teeth and wires.
  • Cut down on hard and sticky foods as these might stain your braces.
  • Regular dental visits allow our hygiene team to check whether your braces are in proper condition and the treatment is progressing effectively.

What is the Cost of Clear Braces?

The costs of fixed clear braces is much higher than the conventional metal braces as the materials and technology used in them are quite expensive. Due to the high costs of the ceramic braces in London, most of the patients often opt for braces having clear brackets for the upper teeth and metal brackets for the lower teeth.

However, the cost of braces treatment depends on a number of factors, from the dentist’s expertise to the location of your clinic, to the severity of your case, or the estimated treatment duration.
