Invisalign
Invisalign® uses custom clear aligners to gently straighten teeth through a planned, evidence-based approach. We offer this treatment just outside Market Harborough with digital planning and patient-focused care.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a clear aligner orthodontic system used to gently and predictably improve the position of teeth. Treatment works by wearing a planned sequence of discreet, removable aligners, each programmed to make small, measured adjustments to tooth position over time. These aligners are custom-made using digital scans and computer-generated modelling, ensuring a tailored fit for your mouth and alignment needs.
Our practice, located near Market Harborough, provides Invisalign® as an evidence-based treatment option for a range of alignment concerns, including crowding, spacing, mild bite discrepancies and general cosmetic improvement. Because the aligners are removable, eating, brushing and flossing remain straightforward, helping maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment. Suitability, treatment duration and expected outcomes vary between patients, which is why a full clinical assessment and digital planning stage are essential before any aligner therapy begins.
The treatment is incredibly effective and has been used to correct the alignment of millions of patients’ teeth worldwide.

Is Invisalign® Right for You?
Invisalign® can be a good option for people who want to straighten their teeth without fixed braces. It’s commonly used to help with crowding, gaps between teeth and mild bite issues, as well as general cosmetic alignment. Because the aligners are clear and removable, many people like that they can straighten their teeth without it being obvious day to day.
That said, Invisalign® isn’t suitable for every case. The type of movement needed, the health of your gums and teeth, and your bite all play a part in deciding whether it’s the right approach. This is why a consultation and digital scan are important before starting treatment. They allow us to assess your teeth properly and plan the safest and most effective way forward.
We provide Invisalign® for patients just outside Market Harborough who are looking for a clear, flexible way to improve their smile while still being able to eat, brush and floss as normal throughout treatment.Frequently Asked Questions
