Clear Aligner Consultations for Barnet Patients

The consultation lasts about an hour and gives you all the information you need. First we talk about the results you want and any questions you have. Then Dr. Reddy performs a full dental health check to make sure your teeth and gums are ready for treatment. Next we use our 3D CBCT scanner to capture precise digital impressions—no messy putty. The scan lets us build a digital simulation that shows your potential new smile. Finally we outline your personalised treatment plan, including the timeline, costs, and day to day what to expect. Many Barnet patients value the 3D view, because it helps them picture the final result before deciding.

Book a consultation if you have mild to moderate orthodontic issues you want to correct without metal braces. This covers crooked teeth, crowding, or small gaps. Clear aligners can also help if you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. You’re a good candidate if you value discretion and flexibility; the aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for meals and special occasions. A recent patient, a teacher from High Barnet, chose Invisalign to straighten her teeth without her students noticing.

Once you start, wear the aligners about 22 hours a day. In the first few days of a new set you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort as teeth move; this shows the treatment is working and can be eased with over‑the‑counter pain relief. Remember to remove the aligners for eating and for drinks other than water, and brush before reinserting to prevent decay. You’ll have quick check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks. In the long run, after finishing the treatment you’ll wear a retainer at night to keep your results. We offer Vivera retainers for £500 to help your smile last a lifetime.

We keep pricing simple with no hidden fees. The cost depends on how complex your case is. Invisalign Lite is £3,300 for simple cases. Invisalign Full is £4,400 for more comprehensive treatment. This covers all your custom aligners, attachments, appointments, and digital monitoring. The only extra cost is £500 for Vivera retainers at the end. We are private only and accept insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna; we can discuss coverage during your consultation. A patient from New Barnet with moderate spacing recently finished Invisalign Full in 14 months and found the investment worthwhile.

Clear aligners work well but aren’t the only option. Traditional fixed braces suit very complex cases with bite problems or tooth rotations. They move teeth faster in some scenarios but are more visible and harder to clean. For purely cosmetic front tooth issues, bonding or veneers are options. They are quicker, requiring one to two visits, but don’t fix the underlying position and may need replacement every 5 to 10 years. We’ll discuss whether one of these options could be a better fit for your needs during your consultation.

To choose what’s best, ask the right questions at any consultation, whether with us or another Barnet practice. Essentials include: which brand of clear aligners you use, can I see a 3D simulation of my results, is the final price all inclusive or are there refinements or retainers extra, how many cases like mine have you treated, what happens if I am not happy with the final result, who do I contact if I have a problem with my aligners outside office hours.

Our practice at 26 Southern Road, N2 9JG, is easily accessible from Barnet. If you're driving, we're a short trip down the A1000. While there's limited street parking, it's often available. By public transport, you can take the Northern Line from High Barnet station directly to Finchley Central, which is just a 5-minute walk from our door. Alternatively, bus routes like the 382 and 143 provide direct links between Barnet and the Finchley area, stopping nearby. Many of our patients find the journey straightforward and convenient.
