Your Invisalign Express Consultation | Serving Barnet Patients

Invisalign Express targets minor corrections. You may be a good candidate if you have slight crowding on your front teeth, a small gap you’d like to close, or a minor relapse after previous braces. For example, a recent patient from Barnet noticed a small shift in her lower teeth years after braces came off; Invisalign Express fixed this in about 5 months. The treatment is also popular for people preparing for events, like a wedding, who want a quick cosmetic improvement. It is designed for simple cases involving one or two teeth and does not address complex bite problems.

Your initial consultation at our Finchley practice lasts about 60 minutes. First, Dr. Reddy will talk through your goals and examine your teeth to ensure they are healthy enough for treatment. Next, we use a 3D CBCT scanner to create a precise digital model of your mouth, so you don’t need messy dental impressions. With this scan, we can simulate your results using ClinCheck software, showing you what your smile could look like at the end. We’ll outline the expected treatment timeline, typically under six months, and provide a fixed price based on the Invisalign Lite fee of £3,300. You’ll have time to ask questions before deciding how to proceed.

Invisalign Express works well for minor adjustments, but other options may fit you better if your case is a bit more complex. Invisalign Lite or Full can address more crowding or bite issues and use more aligners over a longer period, typically 12 to 18 months. For very small imperfections on a single tooth, cosmetic bonding offers a faster, non orthodontic option where composite resin is placed on the tooth. If the movements are more extensive or bite problems are present, traditional fixed braces might be more effective, though less discreet. We discuss all suitable options during your consultation to help you choose what fits your needs and budget.

The fee for simple cases suitable for Invisalign Express aligns with the Invisalign Lite price of £3,300. This price is all inclusive, covering your initial 3D scan, all aligner sets, and any needed check ups during treatment. The package also includes your first set of Vivera retainers, which help keep your results long term. As a private practice, we do not offer NHS orthodontic care. We do accept several private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Let our team know if you have coverage; we can help with the necessary paperwork.

After you start, wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush. You’ll switch to a new set every 1 to 2 weeks as directed. In the first days of a new set, it’s common to feel some pressure or mild discomfort as teeth start to move. This is usually manageable with over the counter pain relief. We schedule short check ups every 6 to 8 weeks to track progress. After finishing the last aligner, you’ll wear a retainer each night for life to prevent shifting. A patient from High Barnet recently completed a six month course and now wears her retainer at night to keep her smile straight.

To choose what is right for you, ask any provider in the Barnet area these questions during your consultation. Start by confirming that the quoted price covers everything from the 3D scan to the final retainers. Ask what happens if teeth don’t move as planned and whether refinement aligners are included. Find out about their experience with Invisalign Express cases. Ask how long you will need to wear retainers after treatment to maintain results. Finally, check if financing options are available or if they accept your dental insurance plan such as Denplan or Cigna.
