Gentle Invisalign Treatment in East Finchley (N2)

Invisalign works well for mild to moderate alignment concerns when you want a discreet option. It is suitable for crowded teeth, closing gaps between teeth, or addressing bite issues like an overbite or underbite. It is a good choice for busy professionals or adults in East Finchley who want straight teeth without the visible appearance of traditional braces. The removable nature of the aligners supports excellent oral hygiene and allows you to enjoy foods without restrictions, a major benefit for many patients.

Our Invisalign process is designed for comfort and clarity. Start with a 60 minute consultation. We use a 3D CBCT scanner to create a precise digital model of teeth. This scan feeds into ClinCheck software, letting us map every tooth movement and show a simulation of the final smile. Next, custom aligners are made. You wear each set for 1 to 2 weeks for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. We schedule checkups at our Finchley practice every 6 to 8 weeks. One patient from East Finchley, aged 28, needed minor lower arch crowding before her wedding. She was ideal for Invisalign Lite. The treatment lasted seven months. Another patient from Highgate had more spacing and a slight overbite, requiring Invisalign Full. The treatment lasted 14 months and delivered a complete transformation.

We offer two main Invisalign options to fit different needs. Invisalign Lite targets simple corrections such as mild crowding or small gaps. The treatment typically lasts 6 to 8 months and involves a limited number of aligners. Invisalign Full handles more complex cases with greater tooth movement, ranging from 12 to 18 months. During the consultation, we assess your teeth and recommend the most effective option for your goals.

After finishing the aligners, you wear a retainer to protect the new smile. We provide Vivera retainers, made by Invisalign from the same material. You will wear the retainer full time for a few months, then switch to night time wear. You will feel mild pressure for a day with a new aligner, which then fades. Clean aligners and teeth after each meal to maintain oral health. If you lose or crack an aligner, call during office hours for guidance.

While Invisalign is a strong option, other treatments suit certain situations. Fixed Ceramic Braces use tooth coloured brackets and wires, making them less noticeable than metal braces. They suit complex bite corrections but are not removable, which makes cleaning harder. For purely cosmetic issues on front teeth, such as small chips or minor gaps, Composite Bonding offers a fast non orthodontic option. It uses a tooth coloured resin to reshape teeth in a single visit, but it does not change the underlying position. We will discuss all suitable options with you.

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. At our Finchley practice, the costs are as follows: Invisalign Lite £3,300 Invisalign Full £4,400. This price includes your initial 3D scan, all custom aligners, all scheduled appointments, and your first set of Vivera retainers, which cost £500 alone. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics. We do accept several dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please contact us to discuss how your plan might apply to your treatment.

To choose what is right, ask a provider a few key questions. Ask how many Invisalign cases they have completed. Inquire if the quoted price includes all appointments, 3D scans, and final retainers. Ask what happens if teeth do not move as predicted and whether mid course refinements are included in the initial fee. Finally request before and after photos of cases similar to your own to get a realistic idea of outcomes.
