Clear Braces Dentist in Harborne
Clear aligner system, offering a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without the need for fixed metal braces. Using a series of custom-made, removable aligners crafted from smooth, clear medical-grade plastic, clear braces gradually and gently moves your teeth into their ideal position — delivering results that can be truly transformative, with minimal disruption to your everyday life. At Harborne Dental Suite, we provide clear braces treatment for patients looking for a discreet, comfortable and clinically proven orthodontic solution in Harborne and across Birmingham.
We welcome patients considering clear braces from Harborne, Edgbaston, Quinton, Bearwood, Selly Oak and the wider Birmingham area.
How do Clear Braces Work?
Clear braces treatment begins with a detailed consultation at Harborne Dental Suite, during which your dentist will assess your teeth, discuss your smile goals and determine whether clear braces is the right solution for you. Using advanced digital scanning technology, precise 3D images of your teeth are captured — eliminating the need for traditional dental impressions — and used to map out a fully customised treatment plan that shows the projected movement of your teeth from start to finish.
Your aligners are then manufactured to exacting specifications and delivered to the practice in sets. Each aligner is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, with each successive aligner applying gentle, controlled pressure to move the teeth incrementally closer to their final position. You will attend periodic progress appointments at Harborne Dental Suite throughout treatment so we can monitor your progress and ensure everything is tracking as planned. Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but many patients achieve their results within six to eighteen months.
What Can Clear Braces Treat?
Clear braces is a versatile orthodontic system capable of addressing a wide range of alignment concerns. It is highly effective for treating crowded teeth — where there is insufficient space in the arch for the teeth to sit correctly — as well as gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. It can also be used to address mild to moderate relapse in patients who have previously had orthodontic treatment and noticed their teeth shifting over time.
Clear braces are suitable for both adults and older teenagers, and is particularly popular with working professionals and patients who want to improve their smile without the visible appearance of traditional fixed braces.
Life With Clear Braces — What to Expect Day to Day
One of the most significant advantages of clear braces over traditional braces is the minimal impact it has on your daily life. The aligners are removable, meaning you take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss — so there are no dietary restrictions and no compromise to your oral hygiene routine. This is a meaningful benefit compared to fixed braces, where food can become trapped around brackets and wires and thorough cleaning can be challenging.
The appointment is typically comfortable and well-tolerated. You may notice a slightly salty taste from the sodium bicarbonate powder, which is completely harmless. Most appointments are completed within 45 to 60 minutes. Afterwards, your teeth will feel noticeably smoother and cleaner, and any surface staining should be significantly reduced. Your clinician will also provide personalised advice on maintaining your oral hygiene at home between appointments.
“Clear braces have genuinely changed what is possible for patients who want straighter teeth without the commitment of fixed braces. The technology is remarkable — the ability to show a patient exactly how their smile will look at the end of treatment before we even begin is something that never gets old. And the results, when patients commit to wearing their aligners consistently, are consistently excellent.”

Clear Braces FAQs
“What I find most rewarding about Clear Braces is watching the confidence that builds in patients as their treatment progresses. Many of them have felt self-conscious about their teeth for years — sometimes decades — and to see that change as their smile transforms is genuinely one of the most satisfying parts of this job.”
