Clear Aligners for Barnet Patients | Your Invisalign Provider

Clear aligners can fix mild to moderate orthodontic issues without metal braces. They suit crooked teeth, gaps, or minor bite issues like an overbite or crossbite. Many adults in Barnet prefer this option because the aligners are nearly invisible and discreet. They are removable for meals and cleaning, which adds convenience. It is a modern option for a straight smile with minimal impact on daily life and work.

Your journey starts with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley clinic. We use a 3D CBCT scan to build a precise digital model of your teeth and show a simulation of the final result. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made. You will move to a new set about every one to two weeks. To be effective you should wear them for 22 hours a day. Checkups are every six to eight weeks to track progress. A full Invisalign treatment usually lasts 12 to 18 months, while simpler cases can be done in six to eight months. After finishing, you will receive a Vivera retainer to keep your smile.

When you start wearing aligners and with each new set you may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two. This is normal and shows the teeth are moving as planned. You can manage it with over the counter pain relief. Remove aligners for meals and for drinks other than water to prevent staining and damage. Brush after eating and before putting them back in. In the long term the key is wearing the retainer every night to keep the result.

Traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces can be a better option for more complex cases. They are effective for treating severe bite issues and crowding. They stay on the teeth for about 18 to 24 months, which can make cleaning harder and requires some dietary changes. Ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal but still more visible than clear aligners. During your consultation we will honestly assess your needs and tell you if clear aligners or another option will give the best outcome for you.

To choose what fits you, ask the right questions whether you come to us or another practice in Barnet. Here are key topics to cover: what brand of aligners do you use, can I see a digital preview of results before committing, is the price all inclusive covering check ups, refinements, and the first set of retainers, how many similar cases have you treated, what happens if results don’t match, do you offer payment plans or accept Denplan or Cigna
