People have been using metal braces for a long time to fix teeth that aren't in the right place, but more and more people are looking for options that are less visible and more pleasant. If you’d like straighter teeth without the visibility or discomfort of wires and brackets, Invisalign® might be the perfect solution.
At Meliora Dental, based in Roundhay, Leeds, we specialise in transforming smiles using Invisalign® clear aligners. Our patients love the flexibility, ease, and natural appearance that come with this modern orthodontic approach.
What Is Invisalign® and How Does It Work?
Invisalign® is a cutting-edge method that uses a set of clear, removable plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. You wear each aligner for about two weeks, and during that time, it slowly moves your teeth into the right place. Because they’re custom-made using digital scans, they fit snugly and move teeth gently, without metal wires or painful adjustments.
During your consultation at Meliora Dental, we’ll take a detailed 3D scan to plan your treatment precisely. We'll create a sequence of aligners based on this scan to gradually guide your teeth into place. The technique is fully customized for your smile.
Benefits That Make Invisalign® a Popular Choice
The appeal of Invisalign goes far beyond aesthetics. The aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to smile and speak with confidence throughout your treatment. Many adult professionals and teens appreciate how discreet they are compared to fixed braces.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, making mealtimes and oral hygiene considerably more convenient than traditional braces. There are no dietary restrictions, no wires to irritate your mouth, and brushing and flossing is as simple as ever. Patients also find Invisalign far more comfortable, thanks to the smooth, BPA-free plastic used to create the aligners.
Plus, because the aligners don’t require frequent adjustments, you’ll likely spend less time in the dental chair. Routine dental check-ups every few weeks ensure your progress is on track, but your schedule won’t be overwhelmed.
What Can Invisalign® Treat?
Invisalign is a great treatment for a variety of alignment issues. Whether you have crooked or crowded teeth, noticeable gaps, or bite problems such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites, Invisalign can help correct them. For patients with mild to moderate concerns, this treatment provides superb results without the drawbacks of traditional braces.

Your Invisalign Journey at Meliora Dental
From the moment you begin your Invisalign treatment at Meliora Dental, you’ll be in expert hands. After your initial consultation and digital scans, we’ll provide a custom treatment plan showing how your smile will change over time.
Once your aligners are created, you’ll wear each set for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You’ll change to a new set approximately every two weeks, with regular check-ups so we can monitor your progress and provide refinements where needed.
Treatment time typically ranges from six to eighteen months, depending on the complexity of your case. During this time, we’ll ensure your aligners are working effectively and keep your experience smooth and comfortable.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
If you're looking for a solution that is discreet, removable, and tailored to your lifestyle, Invisalign is likely a great fit. Most people with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues are suitable candidates. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and alignment needs to confirm suitability.
For more complex cosmetic concerns, we may also recommend exploring options like porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding to complete your smile transformation.
