Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Clear ceramic braces are fixed braces with tooth-coloured brackets. They move teeth the same way metal braces do, with much less visible hardware.
Treatment length depends on your case. We set the expected timeframe at your initial assessment.
Treatment is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487).
Many adults rule out braces because of how traditional metal braces look. Ceramic brackets blend with the tooth, so you get the control of a fixed appliance without the metal. If you are weighing up orthodontics in London, Dr Papagalani can tell you whether ceramic braces, aligners or another discreet option fit your case.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We plan diagnosis first: the case is assessed before any bracket is recommended, so you do not pay for an appliance that cannot achieve the movement. Fees are itemised at the consultation.
If a different kind of discretion suits you better, we also provide Invisalign Express for minor corrections or the self-ligating Damon braces.
Adults and teenagers who need a fixed appliance but want it to be less noticeable. Alternatives include Invisalign Teen for adolescents and self-ligating braces. The specialist orthodontist confirms at your consultation whether ceramic brackets fit your alignment needs. If dental visits make you anxious, tell us when you book.
We examine your alignment, discuss your goals and set the treatment time and any likely complications. If you would rather have a removable option, we can discuss Invisalign First for younger patients.
We bond the tooth-coloured brackets to the enamel and fit the archwire that guides the teeth.
You return periodically for wire adjustments. Some movements take longer than others, and we tell you which.
Once the teeth reach their planned positions we remove the brackets and clean any adhesive from the enamel.
We fit orthodontic retainers to stop the teeth drifting back and explain the wear schedule. Consistent wear is the only way to keep the result.
We plan with 3D imaging, which lets us show you a preview of the planned movement before treatment begins. Your care is led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist.
Ceramic braces are one of several discreet options here. The Invisalign range covers removable treatment: Invisalign Express for minor corrections and slight relapse, plus Invisalign Full, Lite, Teen and First.
The fee is set at your consultation once we know what your case needs, and you receive an itemised quote.
It depends on the complexity of the alignment. We set a timeline at your clinical assessment.
Ceramic brackets matched to your tooth colour. If you prefer, we also provide fixed metal braces.
The brackets are tooth-coloured ceramic rather than steel. They apply the same corrective force and are far less visible.
Dr Papagalani confirms at your first visit whether ceramic brackets are the right choice for your goals. You can learn what happens at your orthodontic consultation and how to book. Our wider range of orthodontics in London covers the alternatives.
Or call us on 020 7589 7792.
The consultation settles whether ceramic braces fit your teeth and lifestyle or whether an Invisalign course, metal, lingual or Damon braces would serve you better.
You leave with a written plan and an itemised quote that is yours to keep and take to any other practice. Arrange your assessment with your specialist orthodontist to confirm your costs; our staff can discuss payment options.
