If you're an adult in East Finchley considering teeth straightening, one of the first questions you'll have is about cost. At our private practice, just a 5-minute walk from Finchley Central Station, we focus on discreet clear aligner treatment. Prices for adult braces, specifically Invisalign, range from £3,300 to £4,400 depending on your needs. This page breaks down what's included in that price, the treatment process, and what you can expect. We believe in full transparency so you can make the best choice for your smile and budget without any surprises.

Our Invisalign Prices in East Finchley

We offer fixed price Invisalign packages. As a private practice, NHS orthodontics are not offered, letting us focus on advanced care. Your fee includes all aligners, appointments, digital scans, and a final set of retainers. Options: Invisalign Lite £3,300 for mild crowding or spacing, usually 6 to 8 months. We had an East Finchley patient who wanted to correct minor lower teeth crowding before her wedding. She was a good candidate for Invisalign Lite and completed her treatment in 7 months, well in time for her big day. Invisalign Full £4,400 for more complex cases, typically 12 to 18 months, with as many aligners as needed to reach the target result. We treated a Highgate professional who travelled here; the case involved crowding and a small crossbite, corrected in 16 months with Invisalign Full.

What Happens During Your Adult Brace Treatment?

The process starts with a 60 minute consultation. We take digital photos and a 3D scan of your teeth using our CBCT scanner. Using the scan, we create a ClinCheck 3D treatment plan that shows how your teeth will move week by week. This lets you preview your new smile before treatment begins. After you approve the plan, we manufacture your custom aligners. You wear each set for 1-2 weeks, about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and brush. You visit our Finchley practice for a quick check every 6-8 weeks. After the last aligner, we fit you with Vivera retainers to keep your new smile in place.

Caring For Your Teeth & Braces During Treatment

Aftercare & Long-Term Results

During the first days with a new aligner, you may feel mild pressure or tenderness as the teeth begin to move. You can use over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Maintain excellent oral hygiene, brushing and flossing after every meal before reinserting aligners to prevent decay. Clean your aligners daily with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Retention matters most after treatment. Wear Vivera retainers every night indefinitely to keep your results. If you have issues like a broken aligner or attachment, call our practice during office hours for guidance.

Alternatives to Invisalign

We focus on Invisalign for comfort and discretion, but other options exist. Traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces can work well for complex bite issues. Braces can be less expensive upfront but stay attached to your teeth, which can make cleaning harder and require dietary changes. They are more visible. Invisalign lets you continue daily life with minimal disruption. At your consultation we will assess whether Invisalign is the right clinical choice for you.

Questions to Ask Any Dentist About Adult Brace Costs

To make a well informed choice, here are key questions for providers in East Finchley including us. A trustworthy practice will answer them all. Ask if the quoted price is all inclusive or if extra fees apply for consultations, scans, or adjustments. What is the cost of replacement retainers and how many sets are included? If treatment takes longer than expected, will there be additional charges? What exact type of braces does the fee cover, such as Invisalign or fixed ceramic? Do you offer payment plans or accept insurance like Denplan or Cigna? What happens financially if treatment stops early? Does the cost include whitening or cosmetic shaping after removal?
