Private Clear Braces for Finchley Central Patients

Clear braces suit you if you want to improve alignment but avoid the look of traditional metal braces. They work well for common issues like crowding, crooked teeth, gaps, or bite problems such as an overbite or crossbite. Many adults from Finchley Central choose them because they fit a professional lifestyle. They are comfortable and convenient, especially with options like Invisalign that are removable for meals and brushing. During your consultation we’ll decide if clear braces are the right clinical choice for your needs.

First, you’ll have a 60 minute consultation with digital scans and photos to build a 3D model of your teeth. Then we design your plan and show a simulation of the final result. After you approve, we fabricate your custom aligners or ceramic brackets. The fitting takes about 30 to 45 minutes. For Invisalign you switch to a new set every 1 to 2 weeks. You’ll have a quick check every 6 to 8 weeks to track progress. Most cases finish in 12 to 18 months, though milder corrections can take around 6 months. After the active phase you’ll receive retainers to maintain the result.

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom plastic aligners worn about 22 hours a day. They are nearly invisible and can be removed for meals, drinks, and brushing. This makes them a popular and hygienic option. A Finchley Central patient, a 35 year old professional, completed Invisalign Full in 14 months to correct lower crowding before her wedding. She found it easy to fit around her busy work schedule.

Ceramic braces work like traditional metal braces but use tooth coloured or clear brackets that blend with your teeth. They are a fixed appliance, making them effective for more complex cases that require movement of multiple teeth. While they are more visible up close than Invisalign, they are still less noticeable than metal braces. This is a good option if you want the power of a fixed brace with a subtler look.

As a private practice, we publish clear pricing with no hidden fees. Our brace treatments are priced as follows: Invisalign Lite £3,300 for minor corrections and Invisalign Full £4,400 for more comprehensive cases. These prices cover all aligners, 3D digital scans, and follow-up appointments during active treatment. The cost of Vivera retainers £500 to maintain your results is separate. We are a fully private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontic treatment. We do accept private dental insurance plans from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please check with your provider about the specifics of your coverage.

While clear braces are an excellent choice, other options may suit your goals and budget. Traditional metal braces are effective and often more affordable, but they are the most visible option. For purely cosmetic issues such as a chipped or slightly misshapen tooth, veneers or composite bonding can provide an instant aesthetic improvement without changing the position of your teeth. During your consultation we’ll discuss viable alternatives so you can choose what suits you.

To help you make an informed choice here are key questions to ask any provider in the Finchley area. What is the total cost including consultations, scans and retainers? Based on your case what is a realistic treatment time? Which type of clear brace Invisalign or ceramic is best for your alignment? What happens if you lose an aligner or a bracket breaks? How long will you need to wear retainers after treatment and is it every night? Do you have before and after photos of similar cases you have treated?
