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.
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.
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.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
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.
Achieve your perfect smile with our advanced orthodontic treatments including Invisalign clear aligners. Our orthodontic specialists create customized treatment plans using the latest 3D imaging technology to ensure optimal results. We offer various options suitable for both adults and teenagers.

Orthodontic treatment often has dedicated coverage within dental insurance plans. Many plans cover 50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum (typically £1000-£2000). We offer complimentary insurance verification and can help you understand your specific benefits.
For patients without orthodontic coverage, we provide flexible payment plans and financing options to make treatment more accessible.
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.
We examine your teeth and bite, discuss your goals and flag any complications, then give you a timeline.
We recommend a system for your case, whether the discretion of Invisalign Express or the efficiency of self-ligating braces.
We map the tooth movement from a digital scan and show you how the teeth are planned to move.
We fit your braces or hand over your first aligners and explain how to wear and care for them.
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.
It depends on the work involved. You get an itemised breakdown at your consultation, and the cost can be spread with a payment plan.
It depends on your case; we set the expected timeframe at your initial assessment. Afterwards, orthodontic retainers hold the result.
