Schedule Your Teeth Straightening Consultation near Barnet

If you are unhappy with how your teeth align, whether the issue is mild crowding or a more complex bite problem, you should schedule a teeth straightening consultation. It helps when cleaning between crowded teeth is difficult and the risk of decay rises. Many patients from Barnet want treatment to boost confidence in their smile for personal or professional reasons. If you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite that causes jaw discomfort or uneven wear, a consultation is the first step to addressing these functional issues. It is not only about looks; properly aligned teeth support better overall oral health.

The first visit lasts about 60 minutes and covers your goals, a bite and teeth check, and digital scans using our 3D imaging. This creates a precise digital model of your teeth. We show you a simulation of possible results and discuss which option, such as Invisalign, fits you best. This is the moment to ask questions about the process.

After you decide to proceed, we order your custom-made aligners. For most patients, clear aligners like Invisalign take between 12 and 18 months, though simpler cases finish in about 6 months. You wear the aligners for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush. You will come in for quick check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks to check progress and receive the next sets of aligners.

After treatment ends, keeping the new smile is important. We provide a set of Vivera retainers, custom-made to hold teeth in their new position. You typically wear them at night for life to prevent shifting. This helps ensure the outcome lasts a long time.

Invisalign is our most popular choice, but it is not the only option. Fixed ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative with tooth-colored brackets and wires. They can handle more complex bite corrections but require careful cleaning. During your consultation, we discuss the pros and cons of each system based on your clinical needs and lifestyle, to help you choose the best path forward.

We offer clear pricing. Invisalign Lite for simpler cases starts at £3,300, while Invisalign Full for more extensive treatment starts at £4,400. This fee covers all aligners, appointments, digital scans, and a final set of Vivera retainers worth £500. There are no hidden fees. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS orthodontics. We accept private insurance plans such as Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna, which may cover part of your treatment. We can discuss payment plans during your consultation.

To choose wisely about your care, whether with us or another practice near Barnet, ask a few key questions. Find out which clear aligner brand they recommend and why. Check the full cost, including all appointments, refinements, and retainers. Ask about their experience with cases like yours and see before and after photos. Finally, inquire about what happens if you are not fully satisfied with the result and what their policy is on refinements.
