Invisalign® — Discreet, Comfortable, and Customised
At both our Ilkley and Skipton practices, we provide Invisalign® clear aligner treatment — a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Ideal for adults and teens alike, Invisalign can correct a range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps, and mild bite issues.
-
Nearly invisible: The clear aligners are subtle and discreet — no metal brackets or wires.
-
Removable convenience: You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, making daily life easier.
-
Tailored to you: Using advanced 3D scanning, we map out a precise digital treatment plan. You and your dentist will review and agree on the approach before your custom aligners are made.
-
Progressive results: Each aligner is slightly different, gently shifting your teeth over time toward their ideal position.
Treatment times vary depending on individual cases, but most patients complete Invisalign within 12 to 18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Invisalign suitable for both adults and teenagers?
Yes, Invisalign is a popular choice for both adults and teens who want a discreet and flexible option for straightening their teeth. We’ll assess suitability during your initial consultation to ensure it’s the right fit for your orthodontic needs.
Will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign or braces?
Yes, retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment to maintain your new smile. We’ll provide guidance and long-term support to help you keep your teeth in their corrected positions.
What’s the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners, while traditional braces are fixed metal brackets and wires. Invisalign offers a more subtle appearance and is often more comfortable, but some complex cases may still benefit from traditional treatment — which we offer at our Skipton site in partnership with Yorkshire Orthodontics.
