Clear Aligners for Finchley Central Patients

Clear aligners like Invisalign are a good choice if you want discreet tooth straightening. You are a candidate with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues such as an overbite or crossbite. Many adults from Finchley Central choose clear aligners because they are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and social occasions. You are a good fit if you can wear the aligners for about 22 hours a day, which is essential for the best results within the expected timeframe. The treatment suits professionals who want to keep a polished look during orthodontic treatment.

Your treatment starts with a 60-minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We use a digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth, with no impressions. From this model we show you a simulation of your final result. After you approve the plan, we fabricate your custom aligners. You’ll switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks and have a quick progress check every 6-8 weeks. Simple cases with Invisalign Lite take about 6-8 months, while more complex cases typically run 12-18 months. The entire process is mapped out from day one.

A 35-year-old marketing manager in Finchley Central presented with moderate lower crowding that made him self-conscious during client meetings. He did not want metal braces. We recommended Invisalign Full. The treatment lasted 14 months, with check-ups scheduled during his lunch break. Because the aligners are removable, he continued his regular client dinners without worry. The total cost was £4,400, and he now has a straight smile that boosts his confidence.

After finishing clear aligner treatment, retention follows. Retention helps prevent teeth from shifting back. We provide Vivera retainers, made with the same technology as Invisalign aligners. You wear them full-time for the first few weeks, then switch to nightly wear indefinitely. Think of it as long term protection for your new smile. Regular dental check-ups help keep teeth and gums healthy. If you have issues with your retainers, call during office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9-5, Tue/Thu 11-7) for advice.

Clear aligners work well, but they are not the only option. Traditional fixed braces may suit very complex orthodontic cases, such as severe bite problems or large tooth rotations. They are more visible, yet they can achieve results that aligners cannot. For minor cosmetic issues on the front teeth, composite bonding or veneers can mask gaps or crookedness without moving teeth. During your consultation we will discuss all suitable options for your goals and dental health.

To decide what is right for you, ask questions during your consultation. Here are a few to start: Based on my 3D scan, how long will my treatment take? Does the quoted price cover all appointments, refinements, and the first set of retainers? What happens if teeth do not move as predicted in the simulation? Will I need attachments, and how visible will they be? What financing options are available for the total cost of treatment?

We set clear prices with no hidden charges. Our Invisalign costs are as follows: Invisalign Lite: £3,300 for simpler cases. Invisalign Full: £4,400 for more complete treatment. This fee includes your custom aligners, scheduled appointments, and any mid-course refinements needed for the best result. The final cost for Vivera retainers is £500 for a set of three. We are a fully private practice and accept insurance from providers including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We can discuss your coverage during your consultation.
