Professional Orthodontics for North Finchley Patients

Orthodontic treatment is about more than appearance. It improves your oral health and function. You should consider treatment if you’re unhappy with crowded teeth or crooked alignment, or if you notice gaps that affect your confidence. It can help with overbite, underbite, or crossbite that hinders chewing. Many adults in North Finchley seek orthodontics for a professional and social confidence boost. You’re a good candidate if you’re committed to following a treatment plan and want a long‑term solution for a healthier, straighter smile.

Invisalign is a modern system using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic aligners to move your teeth gradually. Unlike fixed braces, the aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, and brush as usual. Using our 3D CBCT scanning, we create a precise digital model of your teeth. This model maps the treatment and shows the expected final result before you start. You switch to a new set about every 1 to 2 weeks, with each set moving teeth closer to their final position. Patient satisfaction is high, over 96 percent, making Invisalign a popular choice.

Your journey begins with a 60-minute consultation to assess your teeth and confirm candidacy with digital imaging. Then we craft your personalised treatment plan and show a 3D simulation of your smile. After you approve, your custom aligners are made. You have a fitting appointment and wear the aligners about 22 hours a day, with quick checks every 6 to 8 weeks. A full treatment usually lasts 12 to 18 months, while simpler cases with Invisalign Lite finish in about 6 to 8 months. After active treatment, you wear Vivera retainers at night to keep your smile permanently.

A 35-year-old professional from North Finchley was worried about increasing crowding in his lower teeth. He wanted a discreet option for client meetings. We recommended Invisalign Full. The treatment took 14 months, and he could remove the aligners for important presentations. The cost was £4,400, and he now has a straight smile he’s proud of. The journey from North Finchley to our practice near Finchley Central was straightforward for regular check-ups.

We believe in fully transparent pricing. The cost of Invisalign at our private practice varies with case complexity. For minor adjustments, Invisalign Lite costs £3,300. For more comprehensive cases, Invisalign Full costs £4,400. This fee includes all 3D scans, aligners, regular appointments, and your first set of Vivera retainers (£500 value). There are no hidden fees. While we are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics, we accept patients with private dental insurance from providers such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We can provide the necessary paperwork to help with your claim.

Invisalign works well for many, but options exist. Traditional fixed metal braces are often used for complex bite issues and can be more affordable, though they are more visible. For minor imperfections like a single crooked tooth or small gaps, composite bonding offers a faster and cheaper option. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin to reshape the teeth, often in a single visit. During your consultation we will discuss all suitable options to help you choose the best treatment for your goals and budget.

To choose what fits you, ask any provider in North Finchley a few key questions. Ask which orthodontic system they recommend and why. Request a clear breakdown of total cost and what it covers, including whether retainers are extra. Inquire about expected treatment time and what happens if treatment takes longer. Also ask how they handle lost aligners or detached attachments and what the long‑term plan is to maintain your results after treatment ends.
