Teeth Straightening Consultation for Barnet Patients

Book a consultation if your teeth are crowded, twisted, or gaps are noticeable. It is also wise if you have bite problems like an overbite or underbite that affect chewing. Many patients from Barnet come to us seeking a more confident smile. For example, a teacher from New Barnet wanted a discreet fix for minor lower crowding before a wedding. The consultation showed she was a good candidate for Invisalign Lite, a nine month treatment.

Your teeth straightening consultation lasts 60 minutes and gives you all the information you need. First, we review your dental history and your goals. Next, we perform a detailed clinical exam of your teeth and gums. We then use a state of the art digital 3D scanner to take precise images of your mouth. This is a comfortable process with no messy impressions. Using the scan, we show you a digital simulation of your final results. Finally, we outline your treatment options, provide a clear cost breakdown, and discuss timelines so you can choose what fits best.

For many adults, Invisalign is the go to option. These clear removable aligners are nearly invisible and do not require dietary changes. Treatment usually lasts 12 to 18 months for a full case, with wear around 22 hours a day. It suits professionals who need a discreet solution. A recent patient, a lawyer in Barnet, finished his Invisalign Full treatment in 16 months and appreciated removing the aligners for important meetings.

While we focus on modern aligners, traditional fixed braces can be a better choice for very complex bite issues or severe rotations. They work by applying continuous pressure to move teeth into position. Though more noticeable, they are highly effective. During your consultation, if we feel your case is better suited for fixed braces, we will explain why and provide a referral if needed, ensuring you get the most appropriate care.

Pricing is transparent. A full teeth straightening consultation, including the 3D scan and smile simulation, is offered at a fixed price. For treatment, costs are as follows: Invisalign Lite £3,300; Invisalign Full £4,400. These prices include all aligners, appointments, and a final set of Vivera retainers worth £500 to protect your smile. We are a private-only practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics. We accept private dental insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Please let us know if you have a policy you'd like to use.

To make an informed choice, consider these questions when you consult in Finchley or nearby Barnet. Based on your 3D scan, what specific orthodontic issues do you have? Are you a better candidate for Invisalign or another treatment, and why? What is the total cost, and does it include retainers and any refinements? How long will treatment take? What are the daily care requirements during treatment? Will you need attachments on your teeth for Invisalign? What happens if a problem occurs during treatment? Do you offer financing or payment plans?
