Bite Correction Costs for West Finchley Patients

We price bite correction transparently so you can decide with confidence. For Invisalign we offer two main options. Invisalign Lite is for minor changes and costs £3,300. It suits small gaps or light crowding and usually lasts 6 to 8 months. For more complex cases such as a deep overbite, underbite, or crossbite, Invisalign Full is suggested, priced at £4,400. This option allows as many aligners as needed to reach a good result, typically over 12 to 18 months. The price covers all 3D scans, aligners, review visits, and your initial Vivera retainers to protect your new smile.

Consider bite correction if you have functional issues or are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth. Signs include trouble chewing, jaw pain or clicking, frequent headaches, or uneven wear. A misaligned bite can affect speech or cause cheek biting. Aesthetically, people seek treatment for overbites where top teeth overlap bottom, underbites where lower teeth protrude, crossbites where jaws don’t line up, or open bites with a gap when biting. Correcting these can improve your smile and long term oral health. A recent West Finchley patient chose Invisalign Full to address a deep overbite causing wear on the front teeth. The 16 month treatment resolved it and protected teeth from further damage.

The process is straightforward and planned digitally. First you have a 60 minute consultation to assess your bite and take a 3D scan without impressions. This scan creates a ClinCheck simulation showing how teeth will move and the final result. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are produced. You wear each set for 1 to 2 weeks, about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and brush. You visit the Finchley practice every 6 to 8 weeks for quick checks. After active treatment you receive Vivera retainers to wear nightly to keep your results.

Invisalign works well for most bite issues, but traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces are an option too. Fixed braces suit very complex bite problems needing substantial tooth movement. They apply constant pressure via brackets and wires. They offer power and precision for difficult cases but are more visible, can be harder to keep clean, and require dietary adjustments. We can discuss at your consultation whether clear aligners are best or if fixed braces should be considered for your clinical needs and goals.

To decide what suits you, ask these questions of any provider in North London. Is the price all inclusive or are there extra costs for scans, retainers, or refinements? Based on my 3D scan, how long will treatment take? What happens if teeth do not move as planned in the simulation? Will attachments be needed and will they be visible? What payment options exist and do you accept Denplan or Cigna? How much do replacement retainers cost after the first set?
