How does the procedure work?
- At your initial consultation, your orthodontist will be able to help you decide the most effective treatment for you – clear braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign.
- X-rays, impressions, and digital imaging will be used to create customised braces and aligners that fit your bite comfortably to move your teeth into the correct position.
- Your dentist will clean your teeth, root canal treatment if necessary, and fix the braces. The braces will be adjusted, and aligners will be replaced at regular intervals.
- After the treatment period, you will need to wear retainers to stop teeth from shifting back.
What are the benefits of invisible braces?
- Invisible braces make you less self-conscious. Unlike metal braces that stand out when you smile and talk, clear braces appear less prominent. They are a better alternative for those who are discouraged by the aesthetics of regular braces. In the case of lingual braces, which are placed behind the teeth, braces do not appear at all when you smile.
- Materials used for clear braces, such as ceramic, are more comfortable to wear and prevent abrasions. They do not irritate gums or the sides of the mouth, a common complaint with metal braces.
- Invisible aligners like Invisalign offer more flexibility for removing when eating or for special occasions. You are also required to take them out when cleaning teeth, which helps maintain good oral hygiene effortlessly. You can also eat and drink without restricting your diet, as you will have the liberty of taking your aligners off when eating.
- Clear aligner technology is designed to work faster than regular braces.
While metal braces and clear braces are used to treat the same malocclusions, braces are used for more complex cases. Overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, gap teeth, and crowded teeth are treatable with invisible braces and aligners. Severe overcrowding, excessively deep overbite or overjet, or an abnormal eruption of teeth may need braces to fix rather than aligners. If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment as an adult or a teen, clear braces provide more confidence to wear and a better cosmetic advantage.

Frequently asked questions
Am I suitable for invisible braces?
Our orthodontic professionals will help you decide which clear braces are most suitable for your dental condition.
Is the procedure invasive?
No, braces and aligners are not invasive. They do not require drilling, shaving/grinding down teeth, or anaesthetics. Clear braces will require the use of adhesives to affix the brackets onto teeth, and the wires are attached to back molars. Invisalign trays do not need attaching at all. They slide onto teeth and firmly stay in place. The trays are removable whenever required.
Are braces painful to wear?
Orthodontic treatments are not painful. However, you might feel mild discomfort for the first few days after braces have been fitted. It is short-lived, and you will soon get used to their feeling. You may feel this discomfort after regular brace tightening as well. Invisalign can also cause a slight discomfort after a new set of trays is worn. However, it subsides very quickly.
How long do the results last?
Results from invisible braces are meant to last a lifetime. However, to preserve your newly perfected smile, you should wear retainers. Your dentist will guide you on the type of retainer and how you should wear them.
For how long do I need to wear the braces?
You will need to wear fixed clear braces for a period of 12 – 30 months, depending on the malocclusion being corrected. Clear aligner treatment could be as short as 6 months or between 12-18 months, depending on your case. You should keep Invisalign trays on for 20-22 hours per day.
How often do braces need to be refitted?
Fixed clear braces should be tightened every 4-8 weeks, and clear aligner trays are switched out for a new set every 1-2 weeks.
Will braces affect my speech?
As you are getting used to having braces and aligners, you will find a minor challenge in pronouncing words. It is completely normal. As your mouth adapts to braces, you will be able to speak normally as before.
Can I eat with the braces on?
Yes, you can eat with fixed braces on. However, clear aligner trays should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. Your teeth must be clean before putting the trays back on.
How do I clean braces?
When brushing with braces on, use a soft toothbrush to make gentle, circular motions brushing at various angles to clean the brackets. Use dental picks to get underneath the wires and clean between teeth. Rinse with a fluoride mouthwash. Clean your aligners by brushing with a soft toothbrush and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Soak them in cleaning tablets daily.
Will I have to wear retainers after the treatment?
Yes, after every orthodontic treatment, retainers must be worn to keep the newly aligned teeth in their place without shifting back to their initial position.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Inform your dentist straight away. They will replace it while working around your treatment plan to ensure you are on track. Based on how far or close you are to moving on to your next set, you will be instructed to wear the next set in the sequence or the previous.
What should I avoid while undergoing treatment?
Avoid hard candies, chewy candies, chewing gum, hard crusts, popcorn, eating ice, caramel, nuts, eating whole carrots or apples, dizzy drinks, carbonated drinks, too many fruit juices, and energy drinks. When undergoing clear aligner treatment, avoid teeth-staining foods & drinks, hot drinks, and chewy foods. Do not smoke with aligners on, and do not leave them lying around exposed to airborne pathogens.
Aftercare - How do I take care of my teeth and braces?
It’s essential to keep your teeth and gums in good health. Clean your teeth after eating and drinking before reinserting aligners. Aligners should be rinsed or cleaned each time they are worn. Pay extra attention when brushing your teeth when wearing fixed braces to ensure you are cleaning your teeth as well as braces carefully. Use antibacterial or fluoride mouthwash to keep your mouth free of germs.
How much do invisible braces cost?
The cost of fixed clear braces starts from £2,600, lingual braces start from £5,500, and Invisalign treatment costs from £2,095 onwards.
Mouth Dental offers several payment options to spread the cost of more expensive or long-term treatments. You can pay as you go or get 0% interest-free finance over 12 months and 9.9 % interest for up to 5 years from Chrysalis Finance.
What should I consider when selecting a clinic for the treatment?
Modern and up-to-date clinics with hi-tech scanning and digital dentistry can offer more accurate and customised orthodontic solutions. Make sure they are certified providers of clear aligners and they can also offer the recommended retainer variety. Your braces should be composed of high-quality materials and adjusted expertly without causing you unnecessary pain.
