Book Your Invisalign Lite Treatment in North London

Invisalign Lite suits mild to moderate orthodontic issues. It works well if your teeth are mostly straight but have minor imperfections you want to fix. You are a good candidate if you have slight front tooth crowding, small gaps, or a history of braces with a minor relapse. For example, a patient from Hampstead finished a 7 month Invisalign Lite treatment to close a small gap between her front teeth. This option appeals to people who want a discreet, fast, and predictable solution before a major event.

The process is straightforward and planned digitally for accuracy. First, you have a 60 minute consultation with a full dental check and a 3D digital scan of your teeth, with no messy impressions. Next, using the scan we create a personalised ClinCheck 3D treatment plan that maps the movements of your teeth and shows your final smile. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made. You switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks and wear them for 22 hours a day. We schedule short checkups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress. The entire treatment typically takes 6-8 months to finish.

After the Invisalign Lite treatment ends, you need to keep your new smile. Wear a retainer to prevent shifting. We provide Vivera retainers, which are custom made using the same technology as Invisalign aligners and are more durable than other clear retainers. You typically wear the retainer full time for the first weeks, then only at night for as long as you need. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily. If you lose or break an aligner or retainer, call the practice during office hours (Mon Wed Fri 9 to 5, Tue Thu 11 to 7) for guidance. For emergencies outside hours that do not involve your aligners, call 111.

While Invisalign Lite works well for minor corrections, it is not suitable for every case. For more complex issues like severe crowding, large gaps, or bite problems, Invisalign Full is a better option. Invisalign Full targets more complex issues, uses as many aligners as needed, and treatment runs twelve to eighteen months or longer. Another option is traditional fixed braces. They are not removable and less discreet, but their brackets and wires provide the force to correct very complex problems that clear aligners may not address. We discuss all suitable options during your consultation.

Our fee for Invisalign Lite is £3,300. This clear price covers your initial 3D digital scan, all sets of aligners, and every follow up appointment needed during treatment. There are no hidden fees. The cost of the essential post treatment Vivera Retainers is £500 for a set of three. As a private dental practice, NHS orthodontics is not offered. However, we accept several private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please check with your provider about specifics of coverage for orthodontic treatment.

To make an informed choice about your treatment, ask the right questions whether you see us or another practice in North London. Here are a few to start: What is the total cost, including the retainers at the end? How long do you estimate my treatment will take? Will I need attachments on my teeth, and will they be visible? What happens if teeth do not move as planned in the plan? Do you offer financing options for the treatment cost? Asking these questions helps you understand the process and commitment involved.
