Your Exclusive Clear Aligner Provider in North London

Clear aligner treatment like Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic issues and prioritises aesthetics and convenience. You are a good candidate if you have crooked teeth, crowding, or gaps you want to correct without the look of traditional metal braces. It works well for professionals in North London who want a discreet option that does not interfere with work or social life. A recent patient, a 35-year-old marketing manager from Highgate, chose Invisalign to correct lower arch crowding before her wedding. Her treatment took 14 months and was hardly noticeable to colleagues.

Your treatment starts with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We use a 3D CBCT scanner to create a precise digital model of your teeth. Then ClinCheck software maps the full plan and shows a simulation of your final result before you begin. After you approve, your custom aligners are made. You wear each set for one to two weeks and keep them in for at least 22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You visit for quick progress checks every six to eight weeks. Most full courses finish in 12 to 18 months.

After moving to the new position, the retention phase protects your results long term. We provide Vivera retainers, made from the same advanced material as the aligners and more durable than standard retainers. You wear them at night, indefinitely, to keep teeth in place. The first days with aligners and retainers may feel odd and you might have a slight lisp, but this usually goes away within a week. Proper care means cleaning both teeth and retainers to protect your oral health and your new smile.

Invisalign is a strong option, but there are alternatives. Traditional fixed metal braces suit very complex bite issues and can be faster, but they are highly visible. Ceramic braces offer a look closer to teeth while working like metal braces. There are direct to consumer at home aligner kits. They are cheaper but lack dentist supervision for scans, attachments, and checkups, which creates risks and can lead to poor results. We'll help you compare options during your consultation.

We price transparently. In our private clinic, Invisalign costs are: Invisalign Lite: £3,300 for minor corrections, typically up to 14 aligners; Invisalign Full: £4,400 for more comprehensive cases. These fees cover the 3D digital scan, all aligners, any necessary attachments, and all follow-up appointments. The price also includes your first set of Vivera retainers, which cost £500 separately. We accept private dental insurance, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, and we can discuss payment options to help manage the cost.

To choose what suits you, ask the right questions when you meet with us or another North London practice. Here is a helpful checklist: Is the price quoted all inclusive, including retainers? What happens if teeth do not move as shown in the simulation? How much experience do you have with cases like mine? Will I need attachments and how visible will they be? What options exist if I am unhappy with the final result? Do you offer financing or accept my dental insurance?
