Discreet clear aligners for straighter teeth
Clear aligners
A removable and modern alternative to braces that gently straightens your teeth
Clear aligners from Muirhead & Associates
Clear aligners are a discreet alternative to braces that you are almost invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
Our experienced clinicians offer a choice of leading clear aligner systems including Invisalign, Spark, and 32co, all planned using cutting-edge digital scanning technology. In the last two years, we've successfully completed more than 40 clear aligners cases across Shipley.
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners (sometimes called invisible braces) are a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner applies gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, and you switch to the next set in the series every one or two weeks as your smile progresses.
Unlike traditional metal braces, aligners are removable, virtually invisible, and won't disrupt your daily routine.
What do clear aligners cost?
The cost of clear aligners varies depending on how complex your case is, which brand of clear aligners you choose, and how long your treatment takes.
During your initial consultation, we'll assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and provide a tailored treatment plan with transparent pricing. To help make treatment more accessible, we offer 0% finance options that allow you to spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.
Your journey to straighter teeth
Your appointment
We'll use our Primescan digital scanner to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth without the need for messy impressions. We can use this scan to create a simulation of the results you can expect at the end of your treatment.
Using your aligners
You'll receive your custom aligner sets and visit us periodically for progress checks. Our digital tracking systems ensure your treatment stays on course and your smile develops exactly as planned.
Your results
Once your teeth have reached their final position, you'll be fitted with retainers to hold your new smile in place.

Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners can correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. They're particularly popular with adults and older teens who want a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
During a consultation, your dentist will assess your bite, tooth positions, and overall oral health to determine whether aligners are the best solution for you.
