Invisalign Full: What's the Real Cost for Barnet Patients?

We price Invisalign Full clearly. The total fee is £4,400 and covers everything needed for your smile transformation. What this includes: a full dental health assessment and consultation, all 3D scans and diagnostic imaging using our CBCT scanner, your ClinCheck plan showing final results, all custom aligners, attachments and interproximal reduction, regular progress checks every 6 to 8 weeks, and three Vivera retainers at the end of treatment. What is not included: any preliminary work such as fillings, hygiene visits, or extractions. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics. We do accept private insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna.

Invisalign Full is the most comprehensive option for moderate to complex orthodontic issues. You are likely a good candidate if you have significant crowding, large gaps, or bite problems such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Unlike Invisalign Lite, which targets minor adjustments and runs about 6 to 8 months, Invisalign Full offers the scope and time needed to achieve substantial tooth movements and a stable bite, typically 12 to 18 months. During your consultation we use a 3D scan to confirm whether this is the best treatment for your goals. For example, a Barnet patient recently completed a 16 month Invisalign Full treatment to correct a deep overbite and lower crowding, a result not feasible with a shorter option.

The process is straightforward and digitally planned for precision. First, you have a 60 minute consultation with a 3D digital scan of your teeth, avoiding messy impressions. Then we use this scan to create your ClinCheck plan, a 3D walkthrough of your tooth movement from start to finish. After you approve the plan, your custom aligners are made and you return for a fitting appointment that takes about 30 minutes. You wear each set of aligners for 1 to 2 weeks, about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You visit every 6 to 8 weeks for a quick 15 minute check and to get your next sets. After the last aligner is used, we fit your Vivera retainers to keep the results long term.

Invisalign Full works well for discreet straightening, but other options exist. Fixed ceramic braces use clear or tooth colored brackets and stay fixed to the teeth, which reduces compliance concerns and can help with very complex movements, though they are harder to clean and may irritate the cheeks and lips. Invisalign Lite suits minor alignment issues and costs £3,300 with an estimated treatment time of about 6 to 8 months. We always recommend the most conservative and appropriate option. We discuss the pros and cons of each alternative during your consultation at our Finchley practice.

To decide what fits your needs, consider asking these questions with us or another Barnet practice. Is the price all inclusive? Does it cover the initial consult and all 3D scans? Are there extra charges for mid course refinements? Is the final retainers included or charged separately? What happens if you lose or break an aligner? Is there a payment plan or private insurance such as Denplan or Cigna accepted?
