Private Crooked Teeth Treatment for North Finchley Patients

Consider treatment if crooked teeth affect more than looks. Crowded teeth are hard to clean and can raise the risk of gum disease and decay. An uneven bite can cause premature wear on certain teeth. People from North Finchley and across London often seek treatment to feel more confident in photos and social events. If you hide your smile or worry about your long-term dental health, it is worth exploring options.

First, you will have a 45-minute consultation at our Finchley practice, where we take digital scans and photos to assess your teeth. If you choose Invisalign, we create a 3D treatment plan showing how your teeth will move from start to finish. Your custom aligners are made, and you begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every one to two weeks. You will come in for short check-up appointments every six to eight weeks. For most people, treatment lasts 12 to 18 months. After completion, you will receive Vivera retainers to wear at night to maintain your new smile for life.

As a private practice, we publish clear prices for our orthodontic treatments. Our Invisalign fees are: Invisalign Lite 3,300 pounds, Invisalign Full 4,400 pounds, and Vivera retainers (set of 3) 500 pounds. These prices cover all your appointments, digital scans, and the full set of custom aligners with no hidden fees. We accept private dental insurance plans such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please bring your insurance details to your consultation so we can explain coverage and payment options.

Invisalign is a discreet option, but not the only one. Traditional fixed braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires and work well for complex cases but are more visible. For mild cosmetic concerns, veneers or bonding can be an alternative. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of the teeth to create a straight appearance, but they do not correct the underlying tooth position and require enamel removal. At your consultation, we will discuss the pros and cons of each option to find the best fit for you.

To make an informed choice about your treatment, here are key questions to ask any dentist in the North Finchley area: What results can I realistically expect based on my teeth? How long will my treatment take from start to finish? Is the price all-inclusive or are there extra costs for retainers or refinements? What happens if I am not happy with the final result? How often will I need check-ups? What are the pros and cons of Invisalign compared to fixed braces for my case?

After tooth straightening, the focus is on long-term maintenance. Right after finishing your aligner treatment, your teeth may feel a bit different, but this passes quickly. The key is wearing your retainer. You will usually wear a removable Vivera retainer full-time for the first few weeks, then at night for life. Not wearing the retainer is the main reason teeth shift back. Maintain excellent oral hygiene, brush and floss daily, and attend regular dental check-ups to keep your new smile healthy. There are no restrictions on activity or diet once the active treatment is complete.
