Invisalign Cost London

If you are considering Invisalign in London, one of your first questions is likely to be: how much will treatment actually cost?

At Glow Dental in Battersea, Invisalign currently starts from £2,500, but the final price depends on how much tooth movement is required, the complexity of your bite and which Invisalign treatment package is suitable for you.

Rather than offering one price for every patient, Glow Dental provides several Invisalign options ranging from shorter treatments for relatively minor alignment problems to comprehensive treatment for more complex orthodontic cases.

This guide explains current Invisalign costs at Glow Dental, what affects the price, how Invisalign compares with fixed braces, what is included in treatment and whether Invisalign is available on the NHS.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost at Glow Dental?

Glow Dental’s current Invisalign fees are:

Glow Dental’s Lite, Moderate and Full packages currently include at-home teeth whitening and retainers.

There is also an optional Invisalign Deluxe upgrade, currently listed at an additional £1,000, which includes a hygiene appointment, one refinement, Enlighten whitening and a set of three Vivera retainers.

Prices and promotional offers can change, so always check the current Glow Dental fee guide before starting treatment.

Why Does Invisalign Cost Vary So Much?

The cost of Invisalign is largely determined by how much orthodontic treatment you actually need.

Someone who wants to correct a small amount of movement in a few front teeth may need a much shorter treatment than someone with significant crowding, spacing or a bite problem involving both arches.

Factors affecting the final price can include:

• The severity of crowding or spacing
• Whether one or both arches need treatment
• The number of aligners required
• Whether your bite needs correcting
• The complexity of individual tooth movements
• Whether Invisalign attachments are required
• Whether elastics are needed
• Whether interproximal reduction (IPR) is required
• How long treatment is expected to take
• Whether additional refinement aligners are required

This is why an online price can only ever be a starting point. A proper Invisalign assessment is needed before the most suitable package can be confirmed.

What Is Invisalign Express?

Invisalign Express is intended for selected cases requiring relatively limited tooth movement.

It may be suitable where there is:

• Minor crowding
• Small spaces
• Limited orthodontic relapse following previous treatment
• A relatively straightforward cosmetic alignment concern

It is not simply a cheaper version of comprehensive Invisalign. The amount and complexity of movement that can be achieved are more limited.

If your bite or tooth positions require greater correction, Lite, Moderate or Full treatment may be more appropriate.

What Is Invisalign Lite?

Invisalign Lite is designed for cases that need more movement than an Express treatment but do not require the full scope of comprehensive Invisalign.

It may be suitable for selected patients with:

• Mild to moderate crowding
• Spacing
• Minor rotations
• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

At Glow Dental, Invisalign Lite currently starts from £3,300 and includes at-home whitening and retainers.

What Is Invisalign Moderate?

Invisalign Moderate provides greater treatment scope for cases requiring more extensive tooth movement.

It may be recommended where there is:

• More significant crowding
• Several rotated teeth
• More extensive spacing
• Selected bite corrections
• A need for a larger number of aligners

Glow Dental currently lists Invisalign Moderate from £4,100, including at-home whitening and retainers.

What Is Invisalign Full?

Invisalign Full is designed for comprehensive orthodontic treatment where greater flexibility is needed to correct tooth position and bite.

It may be recommended for more complex cases involving:

• Significant crowding
• Multiple spaces
• More complex tooth rotations
• Deep bite or overbite correction
• Selected crossbites or open bites
• More extensive movement of both dental arches

At Glow Dental, Invisalign Full currently starts from £4,300 and includes at-home whitening and retainers.

What Is Included in Invisalign Treatment at Glow Dental?

Invisalign treatment involves considerably more than simply ordering a box of clear aligners.

Your treatment journey can include:

• Complimentary Invisalign consultation to discuss your concerns and potential treatment options
• Dental examination to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy before orthodontic treatment
• 3D digital scan of your teeth
• ClinCheck digital treatment planning
• Digital smile preview showing the proposed tooth movements
• Custom Invisalign aligners
• Attachments where required
• Progress reviews during treatment
• Refinement where included or clinically appropriate
• Retention following active treatment

The exact inclusions depend on the Invisalign package you choose, so your written treatment plan should clearly explain what is included before you begin.

Does Invisalign Include Teeth Whitening?

At Glow Dental, the current Lite, Moderate and Full Invisalign packages include at-home teeth whitening.

This allows patients to improve tooth colour as well as alignment as part of their overall smile treatment.

The timing of whitening should be coordinated with your Invisalign provider because attachments, sensitivity and your final orthodontic result all need to be considered.

Read our guide to teeth whitening during Invisalign for more information.

Are Retainers Included in the Invisalign Cost?

Retainers are included with several current Glow Dental Invisalign packages, but you should always confirm exactly which type and how many are included in your individual quotation.

This matters because retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment.

Once Invisalign has moved your teeth into their new positions, the teeth have a natural tendency to move again. Wearing retainers helps maintain the result.

Glow Dental currently lists a set of three Vivera retainers separately at £500, while the Deluxe Invisalign upgrade includes a set of three Vivera retainers.

Do not compare Invisalign prices between clinics without checking whether retention is included. A lower headline price can become less attractive if essential extras are charged separately.

Does Invisalign Include Refinements?

Sometimes the teeth do not move exactly as initially predicted by the digital treatment plan.

At the end of an aligner sequence, your dentist may therefore take another 3D scan and order additional aligners to refine the result.

These additional aligners are known as refinements.

Whether refinements are included — and how many — depends on your Invisalign package and treatment agreement.

Glow Dental’s current Deluxe upgrade specifically includes one refinement.

Before comparing Invisalign prices, ask:

• Are refinements included?
• If so, how many?
• Is there a time limit?
• What happens if further refinement is clinically required?

Are There Any Extra Invisalign Costs?

Your dentist should explain the complete treatment cost before you proceed, but possible additional expenses can include:

• Dental treatment needed before Invisalign starts
• Professional hygiene treatment
• Additional retainers
• Replacement retainers in future
• Lost or damaged aligners in certain circumstances
• Additional refinement outside the original package
• Further cosmetic treatment such as composite bonding

A lower initial Invisalign quote is therefore not always the cheapest overall package.

Can You Pay Monthly for Invisalign?

Yes. Glow Dental offers finance options that allow eligible patients to spread the cost of treatment, including interest-free options.

Finance can make comprehensive Invisalign more manageable by spreading the cost rather than paying the entire treatment fee at once.

Before entering any finance agreement, check:

• Whether a deposit is required
• The monthly payment
• The length of the agreement
• Whether the plan is interest-free
• Whether any fees apply
• The total amount repayable
• The applicable eligibility and finance terms

Visit our dental finance options page for more information.

Is Invisalign Cheaper Than Braces?

Not necessarily. Invisalign and fixed braces can be very similar in price, depending on the complexity of treatment.

Glow Dental’s current orthodontic fees provide a useful comparison:

This shows why asking whether Invisalign is simply “more expensive than braces” is not particularly useful.

A short Invisalign Express case can cost less than comprehensive fixed braces, while comprehensive Invisalign may cost a similar amount to conventional orthodontic treatment.

The better question is:

Which treatment is most appropriate for your teeth, bite and lifestyle?

Invisalign vs Metal Braces: Which Should You Choose?

Cost is only one consideration.

Advantages of Invisalign

• Clear and discreet
• Removable for eating
• No major food restrictions
• Easier access for brushing and interdental cleaning
• Digital treatment planning
• No traditional metal brackets or wires

Advantages of Fixed Braces

• They work continuously because they cannot be removed by the patient.
• They can provide excellent control for complex orthodontic movements.
• They do not depend on remembering to wear aligners for 20–22 hours each day.
• They may be preferable for certain complex bites or extraction cases.

Glow Dental provides both Invisalign and specialist orthodontic treatment, so your treatment can be based on what is clinically most appropriate rather than assuming clear aligners are always the best option.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

There is no single Invisalign treatment time.

Some minor cases can be completed relatively quickly, while comprehensive orthodontic treatment may take a year or considerably longer.

Treatment time depends on:

• The starting position of your teeth
• How much movement is required
• The complexity of your bite
• How many aligners are needed
• How consistently you wear your aligners
• Whether refinement is required

Invisalign aligners normally need to be worn for approximately 20–22 hours each day.

Repeatedly leaving them out for long periods can delay treatment and affect how accurately your teeth track.

For more practical information, read our guide to what it is really like to wear Invisalign.

How Quickly Will You See Invisalign Results?

Some patients notice changes relatively early in treatment, but the amount you can see depends on which teeth are being moved first.

Early aligners may initially focus on creating space or repositioning back teeth, meaning the most visible front-tooth changes may occur later.

This is one reason the Invisalign ClinCheck preview can be useful — it shows the planned sequence of movements rather than only the final result.

At Glow Dental, your 3D digital scan is used to create a personalised ClinCheck plan so you can see the proposed treatment before starting.

Are Invisalign Results Permanent?

The tooth movement itself can be maintained long term, but only if you wear retainers as instructed.

Teeth naturally continue to move throughout life. This means they can gradually shift after Invisalign just as they can after fixed braces.

Retention is therefore an essential part of treatment rather than an optional extra.

Depending on your case, Glow Dental may recommend:

• Clear removable retainers
• Vivera retainers
• Fixed bonded retainers
• A combination of fixed and removable retention

Can Invisalign Fix More Than Crooked Teeth?

Yes. Invisalign is no longer limited to minor cosmetic alignment.

Depending on the case, clear aligners can treat:

• Crowding
• Gaps and spacing
• Rotated teeth
• Deep bites
• Selected overjets
• Some underbites
• Open bites
• Crossbites

However, significant skeletal jaw discrepancies or very complex orthodontic movements may be better treated with fixed appliances or specialist orthodontic techniques.

Can Invisalign Make Your Smile Wider?

In suitable patients, Invisalign can broaden the dental arch, which may make the smile look wider and show more teeth.

This is principally tooth movement rather than physically widening the adult jawbone.

If a narrow smile is one of your main concerns, read our detailed guide to how Invisalign can widen a smile.

Is Invisalign Free on the NHS?

Invisalign is generally a private treatment rather than an NHS-funded cosmetic orthodontic option.

NHS orthodontic treatment is available free for people under 18 who meet the required level of clinical need.

The NHS uses the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) to help determine eligibility. More severe Grade 4 and Grade 5 cases normally qualify, while some Grade 3 cases may be considered individually.

When NHS orthodontic treatment is provided, the usual appliance is a conventional fixed brace rather than a premium clear-aligner system chosen primarily for aesthetics.

For adults, NHS orthodontic treatment is not routinely available. Most adults who want Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment pay privately.

Can Adults Get Invisalign?

Yes. There is no upper age limit simply because you are an adult.

What matters more is whether:

• Your teeth are healthy
• Your gums and supporting bone are healthy enough for tooth movement
• Your orthodontic problem is suitable for clear aligners
• You are willing to wear the aligners consistently

Adults with gum disease may need periodontal treatment before orthodontics begins.

Our dental hygienists and specialist periodontal team can help establish healthy gums before and during orthodontic treatment where necessary.

Is Invisalign Worth the Money?

For many suitable patients, yes — particularly where discreet treatment and the ability to remove the appliance are important.

Potential advantages include:

• A much less noticeable appliance
• No conventional brackets or wires
• The ability to remove aligners for meals
• Normal brushing and interdental cleaning
• Digital treatment planning
• Potential to treat both cosmetic alignment and selected bite problems

However, Invisalign may be less suitable if:

• You are unlikely to wear the aligners consistently.
• Your case would be more predictably treated with fixed braces.
• You expect treatment to be completely invisible.
• You do not want to wear retainers afterwards.

A consultation should therefore determine whether Invisalign represents good value for your particular orthodontic problem, rather than simply whether you prefer the appearance of clear aligners.

What Should You Ask When Comparing Invisalign Prices?

Two Invisalign quotations that look similar may include very different things.

Before comparing providers, ask:

• Which Invisalign package is included?
• How many aligners are expected?
• Are both arches included?
• Are Invisalign attachments included?
• Are refinements included?
• Are retainers included?
• How many retainers will I receive?
• Is whitening included?
• Are progress appointments included?
• Are X-rays or scans included?
• Will I pay more if treatment takes longer?
• What happens if I lose an aligner?

This gives you a much more meaningful comparison than simply looking for the lowest advertised “from” price.
