Orthodontics Dentistry · St Albans
Clear braces work just like traditional metal braces — brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by a wire — but with clear ceramic or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your teeth. They're a powerful, discreet way to straighten teeth in adults and teens, and a popular option with patients of our dentist in St Albans.
Clear braces are fixed brackets and wires — much like traditional braces, but using clear ceramic brackets instead of metal. Invisible aligners (such as Invisalign) are removable plastic trays. Both straighten teeth discreetly, but clear braces stay in place 24/7 and can move teeth in ways aligners can't, while aligners offer the advantage of being removable. We'll help you choose what's best for your case.
Clear ceramic brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected with a wire. As the wire is gradually adjusted, your teeth shift into their new positions. Treatment typically takes 18–24 months. Some systems — like Damon Clear — are self-ligating, requiring fewer adjustments and providing more comfortable, continuous movement.
Clear braces typically cost between £2,500 and £3,000, although prices range from £1,500 to £5,500 depending on case complexity, the brace system used and treatment time. We always provide a clear written quote after your consultation and offer 0% finance.
