Book Your Orthodontic Treatment Appointment in North London

Orthodontic treatment is not only cosmetic. It improves dental health by making teeth easier to clean, lowering decay and gum disease risk. It can also correct bite, distributing bite forces more evenly and reducing jaw strain. You can also seek treatment if teeth are crowded or crooked, gaps are visible, or upper and lower teeth do not meet properly. You can also pursue treatment to boost confidence or if cleaning is hard due to overlap.

Your journey starts with a 60 minute initial consultation. We discuss goals, examine your teeth, and take digital 3D scans, no impressions needed. Then we use this data to build a precise digital treatment plan showing how teeth move and the final result. When you choose to proceed, we fit Invisalign aligners or the chosen appliance. You will have check ups every 6 to 8 weeks to track progress. Treatment time varies by complexity, typically 6 to 24 months. After teeth are straight, we give retainers to keep the result lasting.

After active treatment the aftercare is essential. Wear a retainer to hold teeth in place. Most patients wear retainers full time for a period, then switch to nighttime wear for life. Expect mild tenderness for a few days after adjustments or switching trays. This is managed with over the counter pain relief. Maintain good oral hygiene; we show how to clean around the appliance. If a wire breaks or an aligner is lost call during office hours for advice. For genuine emergencies after hours call 111.

While orthodontic treatment solves alignment and bite issues, there are options for minor cosmetic concerns. For small chips or gaps on a few teeth composite bonding can be quick and often done in a single visit. For more significant shape or color issues not requiring major alignment, porcelain veneers can create a uniform bright smile. These options camouflage imperfections rather than fix the tooth position. At your consultation we discuss honestly whether these options suit you or if orthodontic treatment is the better long term choice for health and goals.

We offer clear pricing for private orthodontic treatments. This practice is private and does not provide NHS orthodontics which has long waiting lists and is usually for under 18s with strong clinical need. Our private care lets you start when you are ready. Our Invisalign prices are: Invisalign Lite 3300 pounds and Invisalign Full 4400 pounds. This fee covers all aligners, appointments, and digital monitoring. Retainers cost 500 pounds for a set of three Vivera retainers and are discussed separately. We accept private plans from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna.

To illustrate, a 35 year old professional from Highgate chose Invisalign Full for moderate crowding before her wedding. The treatment lasted 16 months and cost 4400 pounds. Another patient, a 24 year old from Finchley, had a minor relapse from childhood braces and was a good candidate for Invisalign Lite. The treatment took 7 months and cost 3300 pounds. Each case is unique and a detailed quote is provided after the initial consultation.

To make an informed choice about care it helps to ask questions whether you are with us or another practice in North London. Here are a few to get you started: What orthodontic options do you offer for my case? Is the quoted price all inclusive or are there separate costs for consultations scans retainers or emergency visits? What is the realistic treatment time for me and what factors could change it? How will you monitor progress throughout treatment? What happens if the final result does not meet my expectations? What kind of retainers do you provide and what is the long term plan for wearing them?
