Invisalign Full Consultation for Barnet Patients

Invisalign Full is the most complete option in the Invisalign line. It can address a wide range of moderate to complex alignment issues. You may consider it if you have significant crowding, large gaps between teeth, or more advanced bite problems like crossbite, overbite, or underbite. It is a good fit if you want a discreet method without metal wires and brackets. For example, a recent Barnet patient, a 45 year old professional, chose Invisalign Full to correct severe lower crowding that had worsened over time. The 18 month plan was workable around his work schedule, with check ups every eight weeks at our Finchley practice.

Your treatment begins with a 60 minute consultation. We do a full dental health check and take digital scans with our intraoral scanner so there are no messy impressions. Using ClinCheck software, we map out your entire plan and show a 3D preview of how your smile will look. After you approve the plan, we make your custom aligners. You receive a sequence of aligners to wear and switch to a new set every one to two weeks as directed. Each aligner should be worn for about 22 hours a day, removed only for eating, drinking and cleaning. You will have a quick progress check every six to eight weeks. The typical Invisalign Full course lasts about 12 to 18 months. At the end, you will wear Vivera retainers for night time use to keep the result.

When you start wearing the aligners and with every switch to a new set you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort for a day or two as teeth move. This is a sign the treatment is working and can be managed with standard pain relief. Keep up good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing after meals before putting the aligners back in to prevent plaque. We’ll give you a full care kit and instructions. Keep your aligners clean by rinsing them and brushing gently with a soft brush. Long term, you will need to wear your Vivera retainers every night to stop your teeth from drifting. If you have sharp pain or an aligner breaks, call our practice during office hours for advice.

Invisalign Full works well for many people, but there are alternatives to consider. Traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces can handle very complex bite issues and sometimes move teeth faster, but they are more visible and can be harder to clean. For purely cosmetic issues on the front teeth, options like bonding or veneers can provide an instant result without moving teeth. These do not fix underlying alignment but can be suitable if your concerns are minor and aesthetic. During your consultation, Dr. Reddy will explain whether Invisalign is the best path for you or if another option suits your clinical needs and goals.

To make an informed choice about treatment, consider these topics when you talk with us or another practice in the Barnet area. Is the quoted price of £4,400 all inclusive or are there extra costs for refinements, check ups, or the initial consult? Does the fee include the final Vivera retainers or is that separate? Based on your case, what is the realistic treatment timeline? Will SmartForce attachments be used and how visible are they? If you are not happy with the result, are refinements included?

The cost for Invisalign Full at our practice is a fixed price of £4,400. This includes all digital scans, photos and 3D planning, all sets of aligners for the treatment, and all check ups. The final Vivera retainers cost £500 for a set of three. We have helped a patient from Barnet use a Denplan policy to cover part of the cost. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics, but Denplan, Cigna and Max Bupa insurance are accepted. We can help check your coverage and provide the necessary paperwork. There are no hidden fees in our plans.
