Cosmetic Orthodontics North London | Invisalign & Clear Braces

Cosmetic orthodontics suit mild to moderate alignment problems and prioritise appearance during treatment. You’re a good candidate if your teeth are crooked or crowded, have small gaps, or have a minor bite issue like a slight overbite. Many of our North London patients want a discreet option that won’t affect confidence in meetings or social events. For example, a 35-year-old marketing manager from Muswell Hill chose Invisalign with us because she could remove the aligners for important presentations. The plan is predictable because ClinCheck software maps every tooth movement from start to finish.

Your treatment is planned for efficiency and comfort. It begins with a 60-minute consultation at our Finchley practice. We take digital scans of your teeth, not impressions. These scans create your personalised 3D treatment plan. After you approve, your custom Invisalign aligners are made. You’ll come back for a fitting, and we’ll ensure the first set is comfortable and show you how to care for them. You wear aligners about 22 hours a day, switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks. We schedule brief check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress. Most people complete the full course in 12-18 months.

Completing treatment is a major achievement, and keeping teeth in their new position is the final important step. Teeth tend to drift after treatment, so you need a retainer. We provide high-quality Vivera retainers made with the same technology as Invisalign. You’ll wear the retainer full-time for the first few weeks, then at night for as long as needed. Regular dental check-ups help keep teeth and gums healthy. Maintain good brushing and flossing daily to protect your new smile for a lifetime.

In addition to Invisalign, there are other options. For more complex bite issues or crowded teeth, traditional fixed metal or ceramic braces can be more effective, though they are more visible. For very minor imperfections on a single tooth, cosmetic bonding or a porcelain veneer can help. Bonding and veneers do not move teeth; they hide the issue. During your consultation, Dr. Reddy will give an honest assessment of options to fit your needs and goals.

To choose wisely, ask these questions of any North London dentist offering cosmetic orthodontics. First, request a total price that covers all appointments, aligners, and mid course corrections. Second, ask about the cost of retainers, since this is a separate but essential expense. Ask the expected treatment time for your case. Inquire what happens if a small tooth coloured attachment comes off. Finally, request before and after photos of patients with similar alignment issues.

We believe in clear pricing. At our private Finchley practice, our cosmetic orthodontic fees are as follows: Invisalign Lite for simple cases costs £3,300. This usually involves up to 14 aligners and suits minor corrections. Invisalign Full for more complex cases costs £4,400. This covers as many aligners as needed to achieve the result. A set of three Vivera retainers costs £500. These fees include all appointments, digital scans, and aligners. There are no hidden charges. A recent patient from Golders Green with moderate lower crowding finished Invisalign Full in 14 months for the quoted £4,400. We accept private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, which cover part of your orthodontic treatment.
