Invisalign for the Whole Family in Finchley Central

In Finchley Central, Invisalign suits families with mild to moderate alignment needs. Consider it if you or your child is worried about crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues like overbite or underbite. It's also a good choice for adults who had braces before but now see changes. Because the aligners are nearly invisible, they appeal to teens who dislike metal braces. Ideal candidates will wear the aligners about 22 hours a day to get the best results.

The process starts with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We scan your teeth with a 3D digital system to show a precise model and a glimpse of the final result. Then your custom aligners are made. You'll move to a new set every one to two weeks, with checkups every six to eight weeks to track progress. Most full cases take 12 to 18 months. Invisalign Lite can finish in 6 to 8 months for simpler cases. A teenage patient from Finchley Central completed her treatment in 14 months, aligning crowded lower teeth before school photos. An adult, her father, fixed minor spacing in seven months.

After the active phase, keeping the results requires wearing a retainer, which comes with the Vivera option. For the first months wear it full-time, then switch to nighttime use. This is a long term commitment to prevent shifting. Keep aligners and teeth clean by brushing after meals to reduce plaque. We'll provide a care kit and instructions. If you lose an aligner or feel discomfort, call us during office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9 to 5, Tue/Thu 11 to 7) for guidance.

Invisalign works for many, but it is not the only option. Traditional fixed braces may suit complex bite issues or severe crowding. They work continuously and don’t require removal for eating, which helps younger patients who may not wear aligners reliably. For purely cosmetic issues on front teeth, bonding or veneers can give quick results but they won’t fix bite problems. We will discuss all suitable options for your family's dental needs during your consultation.

To choose what suits you, ask the right questions at any Finchley practice. Inquire about total cost and what it includes; are retainers and follow-up visits extra? Ask about the dentist’s experience with cases like yours. Also ask what happens if you lose an aligner or if progress slows. Finally confirm the expected timeline and what long term retainer wear will be required to maintain your new smile.
