Invisalign Full: Your Guide to Treatment in North London

We keep pricing transparent. The Invisalign Full price at our Finchley clinic is £4,400. This fixed fee covers the whole treatment from start to finish. It includes all 3D scans, every set of aligners, all check-up appointments, and your first set of Vivera retainers to maintain the results. There are no hidden fees. We accept private dental insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, which could help with costs depending on your policy. We can review your coverage and provide the necessary documentation at your first visit.

Invisalign Full can fix many complex orthodontic issues, making it the most versatile option in the Invisalign field. It is likely the right choice if you have significant crowding, large gaps, or complex bite problems such as a crossbite, overbite, or underbite. You are a good candidate if you want a discreet solution that does not interfere with work or social life. Unlike fixed braces, the aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, and brush normally. A recent patient, a 35-year-old professional from Highgate, chose Invisalign Full to correct severe lower crowding and an overbite before her wedding. The 16-month treatment was barely noticeable to colleagues, and she was pleased with the result.

Your treatment is planned for predictable results. First, you have a 60-minute consultation where we take a 3D digital scan of your teeth—no messy impressions. Then ClinCheck software creates a personalised 3D plan that maps the exact movements of your teeth and shows the final result before you start. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made. You wear each set for 1 to 2 weeks, about 22 hours a day, before moving to the next. You visit for a quick check-up every 6 to 8 weeks. Most Invisalign Full treatments take between 12 and 18 months. Finally, you will be fitted for Vivera retainers to wear at night to keep your new smile in place.

Living with Invisalign is straightforward. In the first days after starting a new set of aligners you might feel mild pressure or tenderness. This signals the treatment is working and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Remove your aligners for all meals and drinks other than water to prevent staining and damage. Brush and floss after eating and before re-inserting them. Cleaning the aligners is simple—gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Long-term maintenance focuses on the retainers. Wearing your Vivera retainers as prescribed, typically every night, is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting back.

While Invisalign Full suits many patients, there are other options. Traditional fixed braces are often used for the most severe orthodontic cases and can be more cost effective, though they are not removable and are more noticeable. Invisalign Lite is a faster, lower-cost option but is suitable only for minor corrections, like small gaps or light crowding, with treatment typically lasting 6 to 8 months. Another patient from Barnet, who had braces as a teen and later saw relapse, was a good candidate for Invisalign Full to correct the relapse, something Invisalign Lite could not achieve. At your consultation we will assess your needs and discuss which solution fits you best.

To make an informed choice, ask these questions of any provider in North London. First, check if the quoted price is all-inclusive, covering scans, all aligners, appointments, and retainers. Ask what happens if your teeth do not move as planned—are refinements included? Inquire about their experience with cases like yours and request before-and-after photos. Also ask about the expected treatment time and how cooperative you need to be to hit that timeframe. Finally, ask what brand of retainers they provide and what the long-term plan is for keeping your smile.
