Orthodontic Treatment in Finchley for Straighter Teeth

Consider orthodontic treatment if you are unhappy with how your teeth align or if you notice functional problems. People in Finchley often seek help for crooked or crowded teeth that are hard to clean, noticeable gaps, or an bite issue that affects chewing such as an overbite or underbite. A long term cosmetic improvement for a more balanced, confident smile is also a reason. Modern options suit adults as well as teens.

Your teeth straightening starts with a 60 minute visit at our Finchley practice. We use a 3D digital scanner to make an accurate model of your teeth without messy impressions. You will see a digital preview of your final result. After you approve the plan, we create your custom aligners. Wear each set for about one to two weeks and keep them in for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean. You will have short check ins every 6 to 8 weeks. A typical Invisalign Full treatment runs about 12 to 18 months. For example, a patient from North Finchley completed treatment in 14 months and was happy with the result. After treatment you will receive Vivera retainers to wear at night to keep your new smile.

Once active treatment ends, the retention phase begins. You will receive custom retainers, usually Vivera retainers, made from the same durable material as Invisalign. Wear them as prescribed, typically every night, to keep your teeth in place. Good oral hygiene with brushing and flossing daily remains important. We schedule follow ups to check the fit of your retainers and ensure long term stability.

We offer clear pricing with no hidden charges. At our Finchley practice the costs are as follows: Invisalign Lite £3,300 for minor corrections, Invisalign Full £4,400 for more complex cases, and Vivera Retainers £500 for a set of three to use after treatment. This includes the initial 3D scan, all aligners, and every follow up appointment. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics, but we accept plans from major insurers like Denplan, Cigna, and Max Bupa. We can review your coverage during your consultation.

In addition to Invisalign, traditional fixed braces are an option. These use metal or ceramic brackets with a wire and can work well for complex bite issues. They are not removable, can be harder to clean, and are more visible than clear aligners. In your consultation we will assess your needs and discuss which option fits best.

To choose the right care whether with us or another practice in North London, ask about total cost and whether retainers and follow-up visits are included. Find out how long your treatment might take and what experience the clinician has with cases like yours. Ask what happens if an aligner is lost or broken and what the long term plan for retention looks like. Check if there are payment plans or insurance options you can use.
