Invisalign Treatment in Finchley Central

Invisalign works well to fix crooked, crowded, or spaces between teeth without visible metal braces. It suits adults and teens who want a discreet option. You are a good candidate if you have mild to moderate alignment issues and commit to wearing the removable aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day. It also suits those who prioritise oral hygiene, since the aligners come out for brushing and flossing, making it easier to keep teeth and gums healthy during treatment. Many patients from Finchley Central and across North London choose Invisalign because it fits into busy professional and social lives.

Your Invisalign treatment at our Finchley practice begins with a free consultation. We use a 3D iTero scanner to create a precise digital model of your teeth. This scan lets us show a personalised ClinCheck video of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made. You will receive a series of aligners and switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks. Each set gently shifts your teeth toward the final position. You will have check-up appointments every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress. A typical Invisalign Full treatment lasts 12-18 months, while simpler cases with Invisalign Lite might finish in 6-8 months. After treatment, you wear Vivera retainers to maintain your new smile.

A 28-year-old marketing professional from Finchley Central worried about increasing crowding on her lower teeth. She wanted a solution that would not stand out during client meetings. We planned an Invisalign Full treatment that lasted 14 months. She wore her aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them only for meals. The tooth-coloured attachments were barely noticeable. The treatment succeeded, and she now wears a Vivera retainer each night to keep her teeth aligned.

We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our Invisalign costs are clear from the start. * Invisalign Lite: For minor corrections, the cost is £3,300. This typically involves up to 14 aligners and is ideal for small adjustments. * Invisalign Full: For more comprehensive cases, the cost is £4,400. This covers as many aligners as needed to reach the desired result. These fees include all 3D scans, aligner sets, check-up appointments, and your first set of Vivera retainers (£500 value). We are a private practice and do not offer NHS services, but we accept insurance from providers such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We can discuss coverage during your consultation.

For Invisalign to work well, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. You may feel mild pressure for the first day or two with each new set of aligners, which signals the treatment is working. It is important to brush and floss after every meal before reinserting your aligners to prevent food from getting trapped. After active treatment, wear your Vivera retainer as prescribed to prevent shifting. In the long term, you may transition to nightly wear. Regular dental check-ups remain important to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Invisalign is a popular option but not the only one. Fixed ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative with tooth coloured brackets and wires. They stay attached to your teeth, which can help with consistency, but cleaning around them requires more effort. For very minor corrections, composite bonding can improve the look of slightly crooked teeth without moving teeth orthodontically. At your consultation, we will review all suitable options to help you choose the best treatment for your goals and lifestyle.

To make an informed choice about your treatment, here are key questions to ask any provider, whether our Finchley practice or another clinic: 1. Based on the 3D scan, am I a better candidate for Invisalign Lite or Invisalign Full? 2. Is the price quoted all inclusive, covering retainers, refinements, and all appointments? 3. How long do you estimate my treatment will take? 4. Will I need attachments, and if so, how visible will they be? 5. What happens if a tooth does not move as planned in the ClinCheck? 6. Do you accept my dental insurance such as Denplan or Cigna? 7. What is the long-term plan for retention after treatment finishes?
