Bite Correction for North Finchley Patients | Invisalign Costs

If you have trouble chewing, jaw pain, or feel self conscious about your teeth alignment, consider bite correction. Signs include a front upper bite that protrudes over the lower teeth, a lower jaw that sits ahead of the upper teeth, or bite misalignment where the teeth do not meet properly. Many patients from North Finchley seek help for crowding which can make cleaning harder and raise decay risk. If you want a straighter smile without visible metal braces, Invisalign offers a modern option for these common bite issues.

Your treatment is straightforward and digitally planned for precision. First, you have an initial 60 minute consultation where we use digital imaging to build a 3D model of your teeth and show a simulation of your final result before you start. Next, your custom aligners are made. You wear each set for one to two weeks for at least 22 hours daily, removing them only to eat and clean. You visit us for a quick 15 minute check-up every six to eight weeks to monitor progress. Most bite correction cases finish in 12 to 18 months. Finally, you receive Vivera retainers to wear at night to keep the new bite in place long term.

We offer clear pricing with no hidden fees. Invisalign Lite for simple cases is £3,300 and Invisalign Full for more complex corrections is £4,400. The fee covers all 3D scans, all aligners, every follow up, and the first set of Vivera retainers (£500 value). We are a private practice and accept insurance from Denplan, Cigna, and Max Bupa. We can discuss coverage during your consultation. Case examples: a 45 year old from North Finchley had a moderate overbite and completed Invisalign Full in 16 months for £4,400, leading to a more comfortable bite and a happier smile. A 28 year old, preferring a simple route before a wedding, chose Invisalign Lite; it took seven months and aligned within budget.

With Invisalign there is no recovery period. When switching to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks you may feel pressure for the first 24 to 48 hours. This is normal and signals the aligners work. Pain is usually managed with standard analgesics like paracetamol. The key part of aftercare is retention. You should wear Vivera retainers as directed, typically every night indefinitely, to keep the bite aligned. Our patient satisfaction rate is high, and keeping results with retainers is essential for a long lasting bite. If you lose or damage a retainer, contact our practice during office hours for a replacement.

Invisalign works well for many, but other options exist. Traditional fixed braces address very complex bite issues and are highly effective, though they are visible and can complicate cleaning. Ceramic braces use clear or tooth colored brackets to reduce visibility and balance effectiveness with cosmetic appeal, though they are usually more expensive than metal braces. During your consultation, Dr. Reddy will assess your needs and advise on the best path for your bite correction.

To make an informed choice for your care, whether you visit us or another practice in North London, consider these questions: what bite issues can Invisalign correct in my case, how long will the total treatment take, is the price all inclusive or are there extra costs for retainers or refinements, what happens if the teeth do not move as predicted in the 3D simulation, can I see before and after photos of similar cases, and what are the cleaning instructions for aligners and teeth during treatment.
