Book OnlineClear 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.
Book OnlineClear 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.
Tooth coloured braces are designed in such a way that they seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. This is what makes them a perfect choice for patients preferring a discreet orthodontic solution.

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.

Although tooth coloured braces are made to be resistant to staining, smoking habits, certain foods or drinks might cause discolouration. However, avoiding such staining substances or regular dental cleaning can be effective in maintaining the appearance of your braces.
The duration of your braces treatment varies as per the specific challenges and unique needs of every individual patient. However, just like traditional braces, clear braces also last for about 18 to 24 months on an average.
