The spread inside North London
- Invisalign has a median of £3,500 in Barnet, Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest, but £2,500 in Hackney. That £1,000 gap is the largest single-treatment spread in the region.
- Hygienist appointments run from £85 in Barnet and Enfield to £105 in Camden.
- Whitening is cheapest in Waltham Forest at £350 and dearest in Camden at £425.
Camden prices like an inner-London borough because it partly is one. If you live on the Camden and Islington border, checking a practice two stops further north is usually worth the twenty minutes.
