Clear Aligners in Leeds
There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear traditional braces. Known sometimes as invisible orthodontics, which offers you the choice of wearing a clear removable ‘aligner’.
This is often a favourable option for adults who don’t feel comfortable wearing ‘train track’ braces. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and can be used for straightening front teeth only, upper or lower teeth only or full mouth treatment, depending on your wishes, needs and expectations.
- Straighter teeth are healthier teeth
- Having an attractive smile will have a positive effect on your confidence
- Invisible braces are a long-term investment in your oral health
At the dentist, we offer
SureSmile®
As a Key Opinion Leader and Lecturer for Suresmile James, along with his clinical team, are best placed to offer this highly intuitive and excellent aligner system for simple to more severe alignment cases.
This is a bespoke solution using a highly aesthetically invisible and high-performance aligner. This system goes above and beyond that provided by others and reaches enhanced levels of invisibility when worn, with the ability to use 3D bone scanning to allow the virtual planning of tooth movements, but also root movements within the bone, which improves the safety and effectiveness of the aligner treatment from start to finish.
With SureSmile aligners, you can be confident that your treatment plan is designed and overseen by accredited orthodontic experts.
And it means you’ll get all the benefits of treatment with our state-of-the-art software. Using the latest in digital imaging technology, our clinical team can view each tooth from root to crown – allowing for super-accurate treatment planning, right down to the last millimetre.
Where traditional fixed braces rely on the gradual tightening of brackets and wires to straighten teeth, SureSmile aligners take a different approach.
They are a series of removable, transparent aligners -each brings the teeth a little closer to the perfect position. If you opt for orthodontic treatment with SureSmile, our team will begin by taking digital impressions of your smile to analyse your bite from every possible angle. Low-dose 3D X-rays are used to allow detailed planning of tooth movements for safety and accuracy.
- We’ll use the digital model to begin planning the movement of each tooth with superb accuracy.
- Your custom aligners will then be produced in a laboratory from hard-wearing yet comfortable Essix® plastic.

FAQs
You can straighten your teeth discreetly without braces using aligners. These are made from a soft, flexible plastic that are custom made for each individual patient.
Aligners are made from clear, soft and flexible plastic. They are custom made for each individual and fit snugly so that they can gradually straighten teeth.
Your dentist will examine your teeth and scan them so that your custom aligners can be made. Depending on how much your teeth need to be straightened, you may need up to 20 different sets of aligners that will need to be replaced every one to two weeks. In some cases, the patient may need up to 50 or more different sets of aligners. Each set will realign your teeth ever so slightly as long as you wear them for at least 20 hours each day.
There are a number of benefits to using Invisalign aligners to straighten your teeth. Firstly, they are clear so they will be less noticeable. They are also considerably more comfortable than traditional braces and they are easier to keep clean as you can take them off when you eat and when you brush your teeth. By being able to take them off you can also keep your aligners cleaner. You will also love the fact that there are no food restrictions with Invisalign aligners. Simply take them off at meal times, enjoy your food and put them on again. Of course, good dental hygiene is a must after each meal but other than that they make mealtimes easier and more comfortable.
Most patients can achieve their desired result of beautifully straight teeth within 6-12 months. As long as you follow your dentist’s instructions, you will see a definite improvement in the straightness of your teeth.
Aligners work by applying a gentle force on your teeth to move them gradually. Once you’ve gone through the process you will no longer be wearing your custom aligners and it is possible that your teeth will start moving back to their original position. For this reason, your dentist may recommend you be fitted with a dental retainer. The retainer will keep your teeth in place during the natural movement of your teeth, gums and jaw. At The Dentist, you will be advised on the amount of time and frequency you should be wearing your retainer. We offer both fixed and removable retainers.

Get Started
Fortunately The Dentist spotted these, got me in for a hygiene deep clean (not what you'd call enjoyable, but made as comfortable as possible) and a review is in the diary too. In just two visits, I feel like I've had the best dental treatment in twenty years. And for no more money than two visits to my previous dentists.
Really excellent service, very pleasant surroundings and attentive staff who explain, smile and comfort. What more could you want?
I’ve had no issues with the treatment I’ve received, just goes to show what having a great dentist can do! The nurses are lovely aswell!
The reception staff are brilliant! Always really efficient and helpful with anything I’ve needed! 10/10!!
Staff members very friendly and professional.
The service I received from Lauren, the practice manager, was also amazing!

I found The Dentist after searching online for quite some time for a dentist I felt I could trust to fix the issues I was left with. That was very hard for me because I've had terrible experiences in the past (like that one) and felt like I wouldn't be able to find one I could trust. I loved the results on their website and decided to take a chance and booked a consultation with Dr. James Taylor.
At the consultation James was able to quickly give me options to fix what was done. It was such a relief considering my previous dentist gave me no options, so I didn't think anything could be done. During this year, James fixed all of the issues I had and now my teeth look even better than they did before which I never thought could be possible. I was absolutely thrilled with the results and I'm so happy I took the chance to come and see him with my issues.
Thank you again for everything!
Everyone is always very pleasant and helpful. Just wish it wasn't so expensive!!
A pleasure as always 👍🏼😊
