Accelerated Orthodontics in Barnet for Faster Invisalign Results

Accelerated orthodontics can deliver faster results for a teeth straightening plan. It is handy if you have a deadline like a wedding, graduation, or work event. Many adults in Barnet choose it to shorten time in aligners or braces. You might be a good candidate if you stick to the plan and want quicker progress. It works by supporting your main treatment, such as Invisalign, to speed things up. For example, a Barnet patient preparing for a new job finished Invisalign in 9 months instead of 15 using an accelerated device.

Your faster smile path is simple. First a 60-minute consultation at our Finchley clinic with digital imaging to check if you are a candidate for Invisalign with accelerated treatment. When your custom aligners are ready, we begin. Depending on the method, this may involve a quick in-office 10-minute procedure to stimulate bone remodeling, or a take-home device used for 5-20 minutes daily. Then you continue Invisalign, changing aligners more often, often weekly. You will have check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress. The total treatment time can drop by about 30-50%.

Recovery from these techniques is usually minimal. If a procedure like micro-osteoperforation is used, you might have mild gum tenderness for 24-48 hours, similar to a cleaning and manageable with paracetamol. For take-home devices, there is no recovery time. Aftercare focuses on your main orthodontic work: wear your aligners for 22 hours a day and keep up good oral hygiene. In the long term, you'll wear Vivera retainers at night to keep your teeth straight. A Barnet teacher who recently had this treatment reported no downtime and could return to work the same day.

The main alternative is traditional orthodontic treatment at its standard pace. Standard Invisalign Full typically takes 12-18 months and costs £4,400. This is a strong, reliable option. Accelerated orthodontics adds a fast option for those who want speed. The main trade-off is cost, as the accelerated method carries an extra fee. The benefit is a much shorter treatment time, which means less time in aligners and fewer appointments. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and budget to help you choose the right pace.

Accelerated orthodontics is an extra service paired with Invisalign. Invisalign Full costs £4,400. The accelerated part is quoted case by case, depending on complexity and the technology used. You’ll receive a clear all-inclusive quote at your consultation with no hidden fees. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS services, but we accept private dental insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We can help explain coverage and discuss payment options to make treatment accessible.

To decide what suits you, ask detailed questions whether you visit us or another Barnet practice. Consider asking: how much faster can I realistically expect my treatment to be, what accelerated technology do you use and is it clinically proven, will this process cause any extra discomfort, are there additional risks with moving teeth more quickly, does the total quoted cost include the accelerated portion and all follow-up, and how will you ensure the results remain as stable as with traditional orthodontics?
