Invisalign Full Appointments for Barnet Patients

Invisalign Full is the most complete option in the Invisalign line. It can treat a wide range of moderate to complex bite and alignment issues. It suits significant crowding, large gaps, and bite problems such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Unlike simpler systems, Invisalign Full provides the control and time needed for major tooth movements. You are a good candidate if you want a discreet alternative to metal braces and you can wear aligners for about 22 hours a day. Many patients from Barnet choose it for its effectiveness and near invisibility.

Your path to a straighter smile follows a clear, digitally planned route. First, you’ll have a 60 minute consultation with a full dental check and a 3D scan to create a precise model of your teeth. Next, we map your entire plan and show a simulation of the final result before you start. After you approve, your custom aligners are made. You switch to a new set every 1 to 2 weeks and have a quick progress check every 6 to 8 weeks. Typical total treatment time is 12 to 18 months. For example, a Barnet patient with a complex overbite finished in 16 months, with only a few visits to our Finchley practice during the year.

Your success depends on your commitment. Wear aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing only to eat, drink anything besides water, and to clean. You feel some pressure on the first day or two with each new set, which signals movement. Clean aligners daily with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not use hot water. If you lose an aligner, call during office hours for advice.

After active treatment, you enter the retention phase. This protects your results from shifting. We provide Vivera retainers, made from the same material as Invisalign aligners but stronger for long-term wear. You typically wear them full-time for a few months, then switch to nightly wear indefinitely. The price for a set of three is £500, separate from the main treatment.

Invisalign Full works for complex cases, but it is not the only option. For minor issues like mild front crowding, Invisalign Lite might fit. It lasts about 6 to 8 months and costs around £3,300. It does not fix bite problems. Another option is traditional fixed braces. They can handle very complex movements but are more visible and harder to clean. At your consultation, we will discuss which option fits your clinical needs and your preferences.

To make an informed choice about your orthodontic treatment, here are some key questions to ask, whether you are consulting with us or another practice in the Barnet area: 1. Is the quoted price of £4,400 all-inclusive, or are there extra costs for scans, appointments, or refinements? 2. How many refinement (correction) aligner sets are included if my teeth do not move as planned? 3. Based on my 3D scan, what is your realistic estimate for my total treatment time? 4. Will I need attachments (small composite bumps on the teeth)? If so, how many and where will they be placed? 5. What is the separate cost for retainers (like Vivera) after the treatment is finished? 6. Do you accept private dental insurance plans like Denplan or Cigna?

We believe in complete transparency with our pricing. The cost for Invisalign Full treatment at our practice is £4,400. This fee covers: - Your initial 3D digital scan and treatment simulation. - All sets of custom-made Invisalign aligners for your entire treatment. - All scheduled check-up appointments to monitor progress. - Any necessary refinement aligners to ensure a perfect result. This price does not include the final Vivera retainers, which cost £500 for a set of three. We are a private-only practice and do not offer NHS services. However, we do accept patients with private dental insurance from providers including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please let us know your provider so we can assist with any necessary paperwork.
