Expert Adult Orthodontics Consultation in North London

It’s never too late to improve your smile. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment for health and cosmetic reasons. You should book a consultation if your teeth are crowded or overlapping, which can be hard to clean and may raise the risk of decay. Other common reasons include gaps between teeth or a bite that is out of line, such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite that can cause jaw pain or uneven wear. You may simply want to feel more confident. A consultation at our North London practice helps us decide whether treatment fits you.

Your initial adult orthodontics consultation at our Finchley practice lasts about 60 minutes. We start by discussing your goals and any concerns. Then we do a full dental health check, including digital X rays and a 3D scan of your teeth with our intraoral scanner. The scan creates a precise digital model that helps us preview your treatment. Dr. Reddy will review the best options, outlining the pros and cons. Finally, you receive a clear breakdown of costs and timelines with no hidden fees. You’ll leave with information to help you decide.

Invisalign is popular with adults in North London because it is nearly invisible. It uses clear removable aligners that gradually move teeth. They should be worn about 22 hours a day but can come out for meals and cleaning. A typical Invisalign Full case takes about 12 to 18 months. For example, a 35 year old professional from Hampstead finished a 14 month treatment with us to fix crowding before her wedding, and colleagues hardly noticed. Invisalign Lite works for simpler cases and can take 6 to 8 months.

For more complex bite issues or crowded teeth, traditional fixed braces may be recommended. Modern ceramic braces use tooth coloured brackets and are much less noticeable than older metal braces. They provide strong control to reach the right result. A recent patient, a 52 year old from Barnet, chose fixed braces to fix a severe crossbite that caused jaw pain. His treatment took 20 months and the pain resolved. They require careful cleaning, but they work well for complex cases.

We are transparent about pricing. At our private practice the costs are as follows: Invisalign Lite 3300 pounds for minor corrections. Invisalign Full 4400 pounds for comprehensive treatment. Vivera Retainers post treatment 500 pounds to maintain your new smile. This fee covers all appointments, digital scans, and your full set of aligners. We provide a personalised quote during your consultation. We are a private only practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics, but we do accept plans from major insurers like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please check with your provider about coverage for adult orthodontic treatment.

To choose what is right for you, ask key questions whether you visit us or another North London practice. Inquire about the total cost including retainers and any refinements. Find out about the clinician’s experience with adult cases like yours. Request a realistic treatment timeline and what happens if a problem arises. Finally ask what long term maintenance is required after the braces come off to keep your investment looking great for years.
