Find Orthodontic Treatment in North London

Orthodontic care isn't only about looks; it improves overall oral health. You are a good candidate if teeth are crowded or crooked, which are hard to clean and raise decay risk. Signs include gaps between teeth or bite issues such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite that cause uneven wear or jaw discomfort. Many people in North London seek treatment because they feel self‑conscious about their smile and want lasting confidence. If you hide your smile in photos or want a lasting fix for misaligned teeth, this is the moment to explore options.

We use the Invisalign system, a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of wires and brackets, Invisalign relies on a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic aligners that gently move teeth. You switch to a new set every one to two weeks, with each set moving teeth toward their final position. Aligners are removable, so eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing stay easy. Treatment is planned with 3D imaging, letting you see a preview of your final result before starting. Real-world results include a 35-year-old professional from Highgate who finished Invisalign Full in 16 months to fix lower crowding that had troubled her since her teens. She found the aligners discreet enough to wear during client meetings. The final result was a straight smile. Another case involved a 24-year-old from Muswell Hill who used Invisalign Lite for 7 months to close a small front gap before his wedding. This shorter option suited his less complex needs.

Your treatment is planned from start to finish. First, a 60-minute consultation with digital scans using our 3D CBCT scanner. There are no impressions. This creates your ClinCheck 3D treatment plan showing the step-by-step movements of your teeth. After your custom aligners are made, you come in for a fitting to ensure a perfect fit and to learn care. You wear the aligners about 20-22 hours daily for best results. You will have short check-up appointments every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive your next sets of aligners. Active treatment typically lasts 12-18 months for Invisalign Full, and you receive Vivera retainers to wear at night to maintain your new smile for life.

Completing aligner treatment marks progress, but aftercare matters for lasting results. Teeth tend to shift back toward their original positions, a relapse. To prevent this, wear a retainer. We provide high-quality Vivera retainers, made from the same advanced material as Invisalign aligners. Initially you wear them most of the day, then gradually switch to nightly wear. It is a lifelong commitment, but it protects your smile. Keep retainers clean by brushing them gently, and bring them to your regular dental check-ups so we can verify they still fit and are in good condition.

While Invisalign works for many, other options exist. Traditional fixed braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires. They suit very complex bite issues and do not require daily compliance, as they cannot be removed. They are more visible and can make cleaning harder. For minor cosmetic issues, cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers may work. These do not move teeth but mask imperfections. They are faster, often one to two visits, but do not correct underlying alignment or bite problems. We discuss all suitable options during your consultation.

We price things clearly with no hidden fees. Invisalign costs are fixed. Invisalign Lite: £3,300. Invisalign Full: £4,400. Vivera Retainers: three retainers for £500. These prices include 3D scans, aligners, check-ups, and refinements. This private practice does not offer NHS orthodontic treatment. We do accept private dental insurance from Denplan, Cigna, and Max Bupa. Check with your provider about coverage for orthodontic work.

To make an informed choice, ask the right questions at any consultation, whether with us or another practice in North London. Here are a few to get you started: 1. Based on my teeth, am I better suited for Invisalign or traditional braces, and why? 2. Will you show me a 3D simulation of my expected results? 3. What is the total cost, and does it include retainers and follow-up visits? 4. How long will treatment take? 5. What happens if results are not satisfactory at the end? 6. How often will I need check-ups? 7. What lifestyle changes are needed during treatment?
