Invisalign in London typically costs between £2,500 and £6,000, depending on the complexity of your case and which treatment package you need. The UK average across all locations is around £3,244 – but London practices tend to sit at the higher end of that range due to higher overheads.
The wide range is real. A simple case involving minor crowding can be treated with a short-course package for significantly less than a full bite correction requiring both arches. Understanding which package you need is the first step before comparing prices.
Key things to know:
- Invisalign in London costs £2,500-£6,000 depending on how much movement your teeth need
- Always check what is included – cheaper quotes often exclude refinements and retainers
- Most practices offer free initial assessments, so get more than one opinion before committing
- 0% finance over 12-24 months is widely available – always check the total repayable amount
- Invisalign is not available on the NHS for adults – it is always a private, self-funded treatment
- Traditional fixed braces cost less (£1,500-£3,500) but are more visible and less convenient
- Retainers are essential after treatment – ask whether they are included in the quoted price

What is included in the Invisalign price?
This varies between practices, and comparing headline prices without checking what is included can be misleading. A complete Invisalign package should include:
- Initial consultation and digital scan (or physical impressions)
- ClinCheck treatment plan (a digital preview of your expected result)
- All aligners required for your treatment
- Regular check-up appointments throughout treatment
- A refinement phase if your teeth have not moved exactly as planned
- Retainers on completion
Cheaper quotes sometimes exclude refinements or retainers. Ask specifically: “Does this price include refinements and retainers?” If not, find out what those would cost – retainers alone can be £200-£500.
What affects the cost of Invisalign in London?
- Case complexity. The more movement your teeth need, the more aligners required, and the longer and more expensive the treatment. Minor crowding is much cheaper to treat than a significant overbite or crossbite.
- Number of arches. Treating both upper and lower teeth costs significantly more than treating a single arch.
- Practice location. Central London and premium areas (Kensington, Harley Street, Chelsea) tend to charge more than practices in outer London boroughs.
- Practitioner experience. Invisalign providers are rated by the number of cases they treat – from i7 Provider up to Diamond Provider. More experienced providers often charge more, but may deliver better results for complex cases.
- What is bundled in. Some practices bundle whitening into the package. Others charge for retainers separately. The headline price does not always tell the full story.
Is Invisalign available on the NHS?
No, not for adults. NHS orthodontic treatment is generally available only for children and teenagers who meet specific clinical criteria (assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need). NHS orthodontics also uses traditional fixed braces, not clear aligners.
If you are an adult seeking straighter teeth, Invisalign will always be a private, self-funded treatment.
Invisalign vs fixed braces: is it worth the extra cost?
Traditional fixed metal braces typically cost £1,500-£3,500 in London – potentially less than some Invisalign packages. Whether Invisalign is worth the extra cost depends on your priorities:
- Discretion: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. Fixed braces are obvious. For many adults, this is the deciding factor.
- Comfort: Aligners are generally more comfortable than brackets and wires, particularly in the first few weeks of treatment.
- Removability: You can take aligners out to eat and clean your teeth, which makes oral hygiene easier during treatment.
- Compliance required: Aligners only work if you wear them 20-22 hours per day. If you know you are likely to remove them frequently, fixed braces may be more effective for you.
- Complex cases: Very complex cases (significant bite issues) may still be better suited to traditional braces or a combination approach.
How to get the best value for Invisalign in London
Get at least two assessments. Prices between practices for the same case vary considerably. Most practices offer free initial consultations or low-cost assessments for Invisalign.
Ask about payment plans. Most practices offer 0% finance over 12-24 months. On a £4,000 treatment, that is around £167/month. Always ask for the total repayable amount and check for any arrangement fees or charges.
Check what is included in full before signing. Ask for an itemised written treatment plan covering what happens if you need more refinements than planned, what retainers cost, and what the policy is on lost aligners.
