Invisalign and Orthodontics Costs in London

Invisalign and braces costs depend on the complexity of your case and the system used. This page explains what sets the fee, what is included, and how the cost can be spread.

  • GDC-registered specialist orthodontist
  • £195 consultation with a written plan

Your treatment timeline and cost

Both are set at a consultation with Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), once your teeth have been examined. The consultation costs £195 and the fee goes towards your treatment.

Why fees differ between aligners and braces

The fee reflects how much movement your teeth need, how long it will take, and the appliance that can achieve it. Our orthodontics in London ranges from metal braces and other fixed appliances to removable Invisalign aligners, and Dr Papagalani assesses which is right for you before any fee is quoted.

How we set the price

We work diagnosis first. You are not quoted for an appliance until we know it can achieve your result, which avoids paying for the wrong treatment and correcting it later.

The quote is itemised, so you see what is included before you commit. This applies whether you need Invisalign Full or the hidden option of lingual braces.

For patients without orthodontic coverage, we provide flexible payment plans and financing options to make treatment more accessible.

Common Questions Asked About Invisalign and Orthodontics Costs

Choosing the system that fits

Some patients rule out visible braces; others do not want to manage removable aligners. The specialist orthodontist weighs appearance, compliance and the movement needed. For a discreet option we provide Invisalign Lite; for a fixed one, Damon braces.

From assessment to fitted appliance

Orthodontic clinical assessment

We examine your teeth and bite, discuss your goals and flag any complications, then give you a timeline.

Selecting your aligner or braces

We recommend a system for your case, whether the discretion of Invisalign Express or the efficiency of self-ligating braces.

Creating your digital plan

We map the tooth movement from a digital scan and show you how the teeth are planned to move.

Fitting your appliance

We fit your braces or hand over your first aligners and explain how to wear and care for them.

Patient evidence

Reviews and refinements

Regular checks track progress; we adjust braces or supply the next aligners as the teeth move.

What is and is not covered

Planning is done with 3D imaging and led by Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist. We provide the Invisalign range (Invisalign Full, Invisalign Lite, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign First and Invisalign Express for minor corrections) and fixed braces for more complex movement.

There is no warranty on braces or aligner treatment itself. Retainers, fixed and removable, carry a 12-month warranty.

Patient evidence

What patients tell us matters

Patients tell us they value a calm, unhurried manner, honest options and a consultation with no pressure to proceed. Keeping the result once you have paid for it is covered in our orthodontic aftercare guide.

Common questions about fees

How much does treatment cost?

It depends on the work involved. You get an itemised breakdown at your consultation, and the cost can be spread with a payment plan.

How long does treatment last?

It depends on your case; we set the expected timeframe at your initial assessment. Afterwards, orthodontic retainers hold the result.

Which systems do you use?

Invisalign and fixed braces. The specialist orthodontist recommends the one that fits your teeth and lifestyle.

What is the difference?

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners. Fixed braces use brackets and wires bonded to the teeth. Your clinician explains which suits your alignment at the visit.
