Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a more subtle way to straighten your teeth without the need to wear traditional braces with metal wires or brackets. Using advanced 3D imaging, we create custom-made aligners tailored to your specific treatment plan. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable and comfortable to wear, allowing you to go about your daily routine without disruption, resulting in a manageable and enjoyable treatment plan. Unlike traditional braces, clear braces do not require frequent dental visits for adjustments, and they do not limit your ability to maintain good oral hygiene.
A discreet solution: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, meaning you can transform your smile whilst maintaining a discreet aesthetic.
Fewer dentist visits: With no metal wires or brackets requiring tightening, treatment generally requires fewer dentist visits, provided you follow your treatment plan correctly.
Enhanced dental hygiene: Whilst standard braces with metal brackets can trap food and make oral hygiene a struggle, clear braces can be removed easily to eat and drink, meaning brushing and flossing can be maintained throughout the total treatment time.

Clear aligners are generally considered comfortable, but some mild discomfort is normal, especially when you switch to a new set of aligners. This happens because the aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually shift them into their desired position. The discomfort typically lasts for a few days after switching to a new set and usually feels mildly sore. Most patients find that any discomfort goes away within a short period, and it is a sign that the treatment is working. If discomfort persists or is severe, it is important to consult with your dentist or orthodontist, as they may need to adjust your treatment.
Yes, clear aligners are highly effective at closing gaps between teeth. Whether you have small spaces or more noticeable gaps, clear aligners can gradually move your teeth to close the spaces. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and the specific movement required, making them a great option for improving tooth alignment and closing gaps. The duration of treatment depends on the size of the gaps and the movement required, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs. In some cases, clear aligners can even be used to address gaps that were previously treated with traditional fixed braces that have shifted over time.
Our prices range from £3,500 to £6,500, with the cost varying depending on the severity of the tooth straightening treatment required. If you would like to learn more, please contact us via phone or email to speak to our team.
Treatment length depends on the individual case, including factors such as the severity of misalignment, the age of the patient and the amount of tooth movement required. On average, treatment takes anywhere from twelve to eighteen months. However, some patients may see noticeable improvements in as little as 6 months, while others with more complex cases may need up to 24 months. During your initial consultation, our team will provide you with a personalised treatment timeline based on your unique needs.
Yes, clear braces can be a suitable option for teenagers, and in some cases, older children, depending on their dental development. At Vermilion, we assess each patient individually to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for them. For teenagers, aligner options like Angel Aligners offer a tailored solution that accounts for ongoing growth and changes in the dental structure while providing effective teeth straightening.
In addition to traditional clear aligners, we also offer Angel Kids, a specific treatment designed for children in primary and secondary school. Angel Kids is part of the Angel Aligners range and is aimed at guiding the growth of your child’s jaw to make room for both current and incoming teeth. This early orthodontic phase can help set a foundation for better alignment as their teeth and jaws develop.
Clear aligners offer several benefits for teenagers, such as being comfortable, removable for eating and cleaning, and discreet with no metal brackets or wires. However, they may not be suitable for younger children or those with more complex orthodontic needs. During your consultation, our team will assess your child’s dental health and recommend the best treatment plan based on their specific stage of development and dental requirements.
