How much is a clear brace? – Breakdown of prices

To ensure you’re in the right place, clear braces are often another name for ceramic braces, which use tooth-coloured, white, or clear brackets and wires instead of traditional metal or silver.

If you’re looking for the cost of clear aligners instead, explore the prices for Invisalign here.

Clear braces can be considered more discreet than traditional types. However, please note that they are not transparent like Invisalign.

UK prices

The cost of clear braces in the UK can vary from private practice to private practice. However, patients can expect the cost of clear braces to range anywhere from £4,000 to £6,000 in 2024/2025—even in dental practices that are not experts in orthodontics.

Factors that affect the cost

Considerations

  • Your quote will depend on how long treatment takes.
  • The quote depends on the complexity of your problem.
  • The final price will depend on any recommended additional procedures, appliances, or devices.
  • Fixed or removable retainers might not be included in your package price, but here at Neyo Dental, they are.
  • Fixed retainers with a 3-year guarantee included
  • Removable Essix retainers included

Please note that prices for any type of brace treatment are more of an estimate, as you won’t understand the true cost until you have a consultation with a dentist. This is because your case might involve more complex work, taking longer and accumulating higher costs, or, on the other hand, require fewer adjustments and time, meaning your treatment is cheaper.

Clear Braces Cost FAQs

Are clear braces more expensive?

The answer depends on your unique circumstances. For example, simple cases can be straightened from £1,645, whereas more extensive cases requiring upper and lower straightening typically cost from £3,290.

The cost for one arch is cheaper than you can expect to pay for Invisalign, making these braces cheaper. However, it also depends on the type of Invisalign you’ll need.

If you have an average case, you’ll likely spend anywhere from £3,000 to £4,000 for your orthodontic treatment, regardless of your chosen system.

So, it’s not really possible to say if clear braces will be more expensive or cheaper in your case – you’ll only truly understand through a consultation, where we discuss your treatment options and price.

Are clear braces available on the NHS?

Unfortunately, clear braces are not typically available via the NHS. The NHS typically only uses traditional metal braces to straighten teeth for patients under 18 and offers no type of aesthetically pleasing orthodontic appliances.

Are clear braces worth it?

Considering that clear braces can straighten your teeth forever and take only 12 months to achieve the desired results, they are incredibly cost-effective.

When you consider that receiving treatment at Neyo Dental for clear braces also involves the intervention of a dental specialist, who will be with you from start to finish, patients will also receive the best value for their money.
