Clear Braces for Patients in West Finchley

Clear braces such as Invisalign suit mild to moderate orthodontic concerns when you want a discreet option. You are a good candidate if you have crooked teeth, small gaps, or crowding that makes cleaning hard. This approach also works well for adults and teens who value aesthetics and prefer a removable option that does not affect eating or special occasions. If you have some relapse after braces, Invisalign can guide teeth back toward the correct position.

Your treatment starts with a 60 minute consultation. We capture a precise digital model of your teeth using a 3D CBCT scanner and map your plan with ClinCheck software, so you see the expected result before you begin. Next we manufacture your custom aligners. You wear each set for one to two weeks, about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush. You come in for a quick progress check every six to eight weeks. A typical full course lasts about 12 to 18 months. A recent patient from West Finchley, age 35, finished Invisalign Full in 14 months to fix moderate lower crowding. They said the aligners fit easily with work and were happy with the final straight teeth.

Pricing is transparent. Our clear brace treatments are priced as follows: Invisalign Lite 3,300 and Invisalign Full 4,400. These fees include all 3D scans, the full set of custom aligners, and all follow up visits. The price also covers your first set of retainers. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS services, but we accept plans from major insurers such as Denplan and Cigna. We will provide a detailed cost breakdown at your initial visit with no hidden fees.

While Invisalign suits many, other options exist. Traditional fixed braces may be recommended for complex bite problems or severe rotations. They work well but are not removable and are more visible. For purely cosmetic issues on front teeth, cosmetic bonding can be faster and often less costly. It involves applying a tooth colored resin to reshape a tooth but does not move the tooth itself, usually lasting 5 to 7 years. We will discuss all suitable options with you to find the best fit for your clinical needs and goals.

Completing Invisalign is an achievement, but maintenance matters. To prevent shifting, you will need retainers. We offer Vivera Retainers, priced at 500 for a set of three, made with the same advanced technology as your aligners. Typically you wear them full time for the first weeks, then only at night long term. Regular check ups and good oral hygiene keep your new smile healthy and straight for life.

To choose wisely, here are essential questions to ask any dentist, whether here in Finchley or another clinic: Is the price all inclusive, covering scans, appointments, and retainers? Based on my 3D scan, how long will treatment take? Will my treatment require any attachments or elastics? What happens if I lose an aligner or if teeth do not track as expected? Do you accept my insurance such as Denplan or Cigna? Can I see before and after photos of similar cases you have treated?
