Expert Orthodontic Treatment in Finchley with Invisalign

Orthodontic treatment goes beyond looks. It can improve how your teeth work and protect your long-term oral health. You might be a good candidate if your teeth are crowded or crooked and hard to clean, or if you have noticeable gaps. Many patients also seek treatment to correct bite problems such as an overbite or crossbite, which can cause jaw pain or uneven tooth wear over time. If you want a discreet option and feel self-conscious about your smile, Invisalign is a strong choice. It suits adults and teens who want solid results with a good appearance during treatment.

We achieve strong results by combining clinical experience with modern technology. Your treatment starts with a 3D digital scan using our CAD/CAM tools—no messy impressions. This gives us a precise digital model and lets us simulate your final result before you begin. A recent patient, a 35-year-old professional from Finchley, chose us to fix lower crowding without visible braces. His full Invisalign treatment lasted 14 months, and the plan helped him know what to expect. Another patient from Muswell Hill had small spacing after a retainer broke. Invisalign Lite corrected this in seven months for £3,300. Our prevention-first approach aims to protect your dental health throughout the process, ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy before we start.

First you have a 60-minute consultation with a full dental health check and a 3D scan. We show a simulation of your potential new smile and confirm whether you are a good candidate. Next we make your custom aligners, usually in 3 to 4 weeks. Then a fitting appointment places attachments—small tooth-coloured bumps that help the aligners grip the teeth for complex movements—and you receive your first sets of aligners. You wear each set for one to two weeks, for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You visit us for a quick 15-minute check every 6 to 8 weeks. Most full treatments last 12 to 18 months. When treatment is finished you get Vivera retainers to wear nightly to maintain results for life.

We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The cost depends on the complexity of your case. Our prices are: Invisalign Lite: £3,300 for mild to moderate cases (typically up to 14 aligners). Invisalign Full: £4,400 for more complex cases. These fees include all your 3D scans, aligners, check-up appointments, and your first set of retainers. Replacement retainers (Vivera) cost £500 and are separate. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics. We do accept private dental insurance from providers such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please contact us to discuss how your policy applies to your treatment.

While Invisalign works well for most of our patients, it is useful to know other options. Traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces are often used for very complex bite corrections and are managed by orthodontists. They are effective but are not removable and are more visible. For purely cosmetic issues like a single crooked tooth or small gaps, composite bonding is an option. This non-invasive treatment uses tooth coloured resin sculpted onto the tooth. It is faster and less expensive but does not change the underlying position of your teeth. During your consultation we will give an honest assessment of which approach best fits your goals and dental health.

To make an informed choice about your smile, here are important questions to ask any provider, whether it is us or another practice in Finchley: 1. Based on my 3D scan, how long will my treatment take? 2. Is the price quoted all inclusive, or are there separate fees for retainers, scans, or refinements? 3. What happens if my teeth do not move as predicted in the treatment plan? 4. What type of retainers are included, and what is the long-term retention plan? 5. Can I see before and after photos of cases similar to mine that you have treated? 6. Will I need any teeth removed or any interproximal reduction to create space?
