Invisalign Full: Expert Results for Barnet Patients

Invisalign Full is meant for more complex orthodontic needs beyond minor tweaks. It works well for heavy crowding, large gaps, or bite problems such as a crossbite, overbite, or underbite. Unlike shorter programs, Invisalign Full has no fixed limit on the number of aligners, giving us the freedom to achieve the moves needed for a complete smile transformation. It suits patients who want the discretion of clear aligners but seek the strong results associated with traditional braces. In studies, Invisalign shows a patient satisfaction rate above 96%, indicating solid effectiveness for suitable candidates.

Your treatment begins with a 60 minute consultation at our Finchley clinic. We use a 3D CBCT scan to create a precise digital model of your teeth and then generate your personalised ClinCheck plan, which shows a simulation of your final result. After you approve the plan, we fabricate your custom aligners. You’ll wear each set for one to two weeks, for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You’ll have a quick check-up every 6 to 8 weeks to track progress. Total treatment time typically ranges from 12 to 18 months, depending on how your case progresses. When the active phase finishes, you’ll be fitted with Vivera retainers to keep your new smile.

A 35-year-old marketing manager from Barnet faced heavy crowding in the lower arch, making cleaning challenging. He preferred not to wear visible braces in a client-facing role. We recommended Invisalign Full. The treatment lasted 16 months and used SmartForce attachments to achieve the necessary movements. The result was a neatly aligned smile, and most colleagues did not notice he was in treatment.

A patient from Whetstone was self-conscious about a large gap between her front teeth and a noticeable overbite. She started with Invisalign Full after not being a candidate for Invisalign Lite. The plan addressed both spacing and bite alignment over 18 months. The final cost matched the quote at £4,400, and she now enjoys a confident smile maintained with nightly Vivera retainers.

Finishing Invisalign is a big milestone. Keeping teeth straight requires ongoing care. After the last aligner, you move into retention. Teeth tend to drift back, so we provide custom Vivera retainers, which are stronger than the aligners. You’ll wear them full-time for the first weeks, then switch to nightly wear for the long term. Keep your retainers clean and attend regular check-ups to protect your results for years. Not wearing retainers is the main reason for relapse.

Invisalign Full is a strong option, but other routes exist. Traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces remain effective for very complex cases and can move teeth quickly, though they are more visible and can be harder to clean. For purely cosmetic concerns without major bite issues, veneers could be considered. Veneers cover the front surface of teeth without changing their position and require healthy enamel to be altered. At your consultation, we will discuss which approach fits your clinical needs and lifestyle.

At our private practice, the price for Invisalign Full is £4,400. This fixed, all-inclusive rate covers your initial 3D scan and treatment planning, all sets of aligners, all review appointments at our Finchley clinic, and a final set of three Vivera retainers to keep your results. We do not offer NHS orthodontic care, but we accept several major dental insurance plans such as Denplan, Max Bupa, and Cigna, which may cover part of the cost. We can discuss payment options at your consultation.

To help you choose, ask these questions whether you come to us or another provider in the Barnet area: Can I see a 3D ClinCheck simulation before starting treatment? Will attachments be needed, and how visible will they be? What is the total estimated treatment time for my case? Is the cost of retainers like Vivera included in the price? What happens if teeth do not move as planned, and are refinements included? Do you have before and after photos of similar cases?
