The days of metal "train tracks" dominating orthodontic treatment are numbered. Clear aligners have democratised teeth straightening, making it accessible and discreet for adults who might otherwise avoid treatment.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks before moving to the next in the sequence.
Advanced 3D scanning and AI-powered planning allow us to show you your predicted results before treatment begins—and track progress throughout your journey.
Ideal Candidates
Clear aligners work beautifully for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing issues (gaps between teeth)
- Minor bite corrections
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Limitations to Consider
While technology continues to advance, some cases still require traditional braces:
- Severe crowding or rotation
- Complex bite issues (significant overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Teeth requiring vertical movement
The Treatment Experience
Most adult cases complete in 6-18 months, depending on complexity. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and special occasions, and far more comfortable than traditional braces.
You'll visit our clinic every 6-8 weeks for progress checks and to receive your next sets of aligners. Many patients combine their aligner journey with whitening for a complete smile transformation.
Investment
Clear aligner treatment at Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic starts from £2,500 for minor cases, with comprehensive treatment from £4,500. We offer interest-free finance to make your perfect smile achievable.
