Orthodontics in Barnet,
Without the Metal Braces
Mona Lisa Smiles offers orthodontic treatment in Barnet for adults and teenagers who want straighter teeth without fixed metal braces. At our practice on Station Road in New Barnet, we look at how your teeth line up and how your bite comes together. We then plan your treatment with clear, removable aligners and show you a 3D preview of the planned tooth movement before you start.
Crowded, gapped or crooked teeth can be harder to clean and can affect how your bite comes together, which is why many people choose orthodontics as adults rather than only in their teens. Every orthodontic treatment at our New Barnet practice starts with a consultation to check your teeth and bite and confirm whether aligners suit you. For more on the aligner system itself, see our Invisalign treatment in Barnet page, led by Dr Khilna Vaghela.

How We Straighten Teeth
