Professional Teeth Alignment in Finchley with Invisalign®

Crooked or crowded teeth can be hard to clean and raise the risk of decay. Gaps between teeth and bite issues such as an overbite or underbite can cause jaw discomfort or uneven wear. If you want a straighter smile without metal braces, you may be a good candidate. Invisalign works well for busy professionals in Finchley who want a discreet option.

Your treatment begins with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We perform a full dental health check and take a 3D scan of your teeth with our intraoral scanner. This lets us create a ClinCheck treatment plan and show you a digital preview of your final smile. Next, your custom aligners are made from SmartTrack material. You wear each set for one to two weeks, for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush. You visit for a quick check every six to eight weeks. Treatment typically lasts six to eighteen months, depending on your case.

In the first days after starting a new set of aligners, you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort. This is normal and can be eased with basic pain relief. Brush your teeth and clean your aligners after each meal to prevent plaque. Long term, retention matters most. After finishing the aligner series, wear a Vivera retainer every night to keep your results. Without this, teeth can drift back toward their original position. Red flags include sharp pain from an aligner edge, a crack in the aligner, or a loose attachment. If any of these occur, call during office hours.

Other options include fixed ceramic braces with tooth coloured brackets that are less noticeable than metal. They work well for complex cases but can be harder to clean around. Traditional metal braces are still effective and often more affordable, especially for significant bite changes, though they are more visible. We focus on clear aligner therapy because it offers strong results with minimal daily disruption, aligning with our goal of comfortable and convenient care.

We offer clear pricing with no hidden fees. Invisalign® costs are: Invisalign Lite £3,300 for minor corrections lasting 6 to 8 months, and Invisalign Full £4,400 for more comprehensive cases. These prices include all 3D scans, custom aligners, and follow-up visits. A final Vivera retainer costs £500 for a set of three. This practice is private only, and NHS orthodontics are not offered. We do accept private dental insurance from providers such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Financing options can be discussed at your first consult.

To choose wisely, ask these questions of any provider, whether it is us or another practice in North London: Is the price all inclusive, or are there extra costs for scans, visits, or refinements? Based on my 3D scan, how long will the treatment take in reality? Will I need attachments on my teeth to help the aligners work? What is the plan if teeth do not move as expected? Is the cost of retainers included, and what is the long-term retention plan?
