Affordable clear aligners in Leicester: your friendly, expert guide
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but worry about cost, time or how visible the treatment might be, you’re in the right place. At Winchester Avenue Dental Surgery, we help patients every week choose between clear aligners, clear braces, and other options — and we’ve just launched Winchester Avenue Aligners, our own branded system designed to make affordable teeth straightening straightforward, comfortable and great value.
This guide explains how aligners work, who they suit, how long treatment takes, what it costs, and how our new aligners compare with well-known brands such as Invisalign in Leicester. We’ll also show you exactly how to book a free consultation and why our package (from only £1199, with instalments available, no finance and no credit checks) is one of the most compelling offers in the area. If you’re searching for affordable clear aligners, you’ll find clear, honest answers here.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are slim, custom-made plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll wear a series of them, each one moving your teeth a tiny step closer to the final position. They’re removable for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing — which makes day-to-day life simple.
Clear braces (often fixed ceramic brackets and wires) are also discreet, but they’re attached to your teeth for the duration of treatment. Both approaches can deliver excellent results; the right choice depends on your bite, your goals and your lifestyle. We’ll assess this with you at Winchester Avenue Dental Surgery.
Why patients love aligners
- Nearly invisible in normal conversation
- Removable for meals and cleaning
- Smooth, with no metal brackets or wires
- Often fewer in-surgery adjustments
If you want the flexibility of taking your trays out for a work lunch or the school run, clear aligners are a great fit.

Are aligners right for me?
Aligners work brilliantly for many everyday concerns:
- Crowded front teeth
- Small gaps
- Mild rotations
- Relapse after previous braces
- Minor bite refinements
In some cases — for example, significant crowding, large tooth movements or complex bite problems — clear braces or comprehensive orthodontics may be more predictable. We’ll explain the pros and cons at your free consultation and give you a written plan so you can compare options calmly at home.
Your treatment journey, step by step
- Free consultation
Meet a dentist or treatment coordinator at Winchester Avenue Dental Surgery. We’ll listen to what you’d like to change, check your oral health and discuss the options — Winchester Avenue Aligners, clear braces, or Invisalign in Leicester. - Scans, photos and planning
We take digital scans or impressions and clinical photos. Your plan details how many trays you’ll need, how often to change them, and the expected timeframe. Most patients switch trays every 7–14 days. - Fitting and coaching
You’ll try on the first set, learn how to pop them in and out, and get home-care advice. We’ll talk through wear time (20–22 hours a day is ideal), cleaning, and what to expect during the first week. - Reviews and refinements
We’ll see you in person at sensible intervals to check progress. Small extras like tooth-coloured “attachments” or gentle enamel shaping (IPR) may be recommended to guide movement — we’ll explain everything clearly. - Whitening and finishing touches
As part of our aligner package, you’ll receive free teeth whitening when treatment is complete, so your new smile looks bright and fresh. - Retainers — included free
Keeping your result is essential. Your retainers are free with our package, and we’ll advise you on a long-term wear routine that fits your life.
How long does treatment take?
The number of aligners determines the timeline. Mild cases may finish in 3–6 months; moderate plans commonly take 6–12 months. Sticking to your wear time is the single biggest factor. You’ll get a clear estimate at your consultation and regular check-ins to keep you on track.
Comfort, safety and everyday life
- Comfort: Aligners feel snug rather than sharp. You may notice a mild pressure when changing to a new tray; this usually settles within a day or two.
- Eating & drinking: Take aligners out for hot drinks, coloured drinks and meals. Water is fine to sip while wearing them.
- Oral health: Because you remove aligners to brush and floss, it’s easy to keep your gums healthy and your breath fresh.
- Monitoring: All care is supervised in person by our team at Winchester Avenue Dental Surgery. We prioritise gum health and cavity prevention before we move any teeth.
Costs and value: why our package stands out
A big reason people delay treatment is cost. With Winchester Avenue Aligners you get transparent pricing from only £1199, plus instalments available with no finance and no credit checks — a simple, accessible route to affordable teeth straightening.
What you won’t pay extra for with our package:
- Free consultation
- Free retainers at the end
- Free teeth whitening to finish
If you prefer a branded option, we also provide Invisalign in Leicester. We’ll happily compare both at your consultation so you can choose with confidence.

Winchester Avenue Aligners vs Invisalign: what’s the difference?
Both systems use staged, removable trays to move teeth. The biggest differences are brand, pricing and certain planning tools. Our clinicians are experienced with both and will recommend what suits your case and budget.
- Planning and oversight: Whether you choose our aligners or Invisalign, your case is designed and checked by GDC-registered dentists.
- Attachments & IPR: Both systems may use these to guide movement.
- Complexity: For complex bites, Invisalign’s extensive toolset can help. For most mild to moderate concerns, Winchester Avenue Aligners offer excellent results at a lower fee — genuinely affordable clear aligners without compromising clinical supervision.
You don’t need to decide now. Book a free consultation and we’ll map it out with you: how to book.
Clear aligners vs clear braces: which should I choose?
- Lifestyle: If you value removability and minimal impact on photos or meetings, clear aligners are ideal. If you prefer “fit and forget”, clear braces can be a good choice.
- Discipline: Aligners need commitment to wear time. Braces work 24/7 by default.
- Movements: Some rotational or vertical movements respond better to braces; many crowding and spacing cases are perfect for aligners.
We’ll give you a recommendation based on your exam and explain why — no jargon, no pressure.
What results can I expect?
Our aim is a smile that looks natural, balanced and healthy. You’ll see teeth align more evenly, with straighter edges and improved symmetry. Many people also notice their gums look healthier thanks to easier cleaning. If small shape tweaks are needed at the end, we can talk about gentle finishing touches such as composite bonding. Your free teeth whitening (included) is the final polish.
How we demonstrate results
- Our team straightens smiles in Leicester week in, week out, using both aligners and clear braces.

Frequently asked questions - clear aligners
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For mild to moderate crowding and spacing, clear aligners are highly effective when worn as advised. Some complex movements are better handled with clear braces. We’ll examine your bite and explain the best route — sometimes a short course of aligners gives you the result you want without fixed brackets.
How much do Winchester Avenue Aligners cost?
Treatment starts from £1199. Our package includes free consultation, free retainers and free teeth whitening, with instalments available and no finance, no credit checks. That’s why we call them affordable clear aligners. For full details and a written quote, here’s where to book.
How long will I need to wear aligners each day?
Aim for 20–22 hours daily. Take them out for meals and for brushing, then pop them straight back in. Consistent wear keeps treatment on schedule and helps you finish sooner.
Do aligners hurt?
You’ll feel gentle pressure for a day or so after changing to a new tray — a sign the teeth are moving. Most people manage with simple comfort tips we provide. There are no brackets or wires, so cheeks and lips tend to be more comfortable than with braces.
What happens when treatment finishes?
You’ll receive free retainers to keep your result stable, plus free teeth whitening to celebrate your new smile. Long-term, we’ll review your retainers at check-ups and replace them when needed. This is the key to lasting affordable teeth straightening results.
