Private Invisalign in Finchley | Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign works well for mild to moderate orthodontic issues you want to fix without visible braces. It’s effective for crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or general misalignment. You’re a good candidate if your lifestyle calls for a flexible plan because the aligners are removable, so you can still enjoy your favourite foods and keep your teeth clean. Many patients, such as a 32-year-old teacher from Golders Green with moderate lower arch crowding, choose Invisalign because it fits neatly into their professional lives. Her 14‑month treatment was so discreet that none of her students noticed.

Your treatment begins with a 60-minute consultation. We use a 3D digital scanner to create a precise model of your teeth, avoiding messy impressions. With this scan we build a ClinCheck simulation to show your predicted final result. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made. You’ll switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks and come in for a quick check each 6-8 weeks. A full Invisalign Full treatment usually takes 12-18 months, while simpler cases with Invisalign Lite can be finished in as little as 6-8 months. For example, a patient from North Finchley with minor spacing in his front teeth completed Invisalign Lite in 7 months, in time for his wedding.

For best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day and remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush your teeth. In the first days of a new set you may feel some pressure, a sign that the teeth are moving. This can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. After active treatment ends, you protect your result with Vivera retainers. They are worn nightly to prevent your teeth from shifting back. This retention phase is a long-term part of keeping your smile.

Invisalign is highly effective but not the only option. Traditional fixed braces, made from metal or clear ceramic, can be better for very complex cases with severe bite issues or tooth rotations. Fixed braces work continuously since they cannot be removed, but they are more visible, can make cleaning harder, and often come with dietary restrictions. During your consultation we will honestly discuss which treatment suits your clinical needs and personal preferences.

To choose what’s right for you, ask a few key questions whether you’re talking to us or another practice in Finchley. Inquire about the total cost and what it includes such as retainers and refinements. Ask about their experience with cases like yours and request before and after photos. Find out what happens if you’re not happy with the final result and how long you will need to attend follow-up visits. Finally, confirm the expected treatment timeline and how often you’ll need to visit.

We itemise pricing clearly with no hidden fees. Our private Invisalign costs are: Invisalign Lite 3,300 pounds for minor corrections and Invisalign Full 4,400 pounds for more comprehensive cases. This price covers all aligners and appointments, plus a final set of Vivera retainers, which cost 500 pounds separately. We are a fully private practice and do not offer NHS services. We accept several private insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, which can help cover part of your treatment. Please contact us to discuss your coverage and payment options.
