Clear aligners at Marble Hill Orthodontics offer a comfortable, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth and get a confident smile without braces.
Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to gradually shift your teeth into place. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next step in treatment.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners have no brackets or wires, making them a comfortable and flexible option. With digital scanning technology, each aligner is designed for precision, allowing for controlled tooth movement with minimal discomfort. Since they’re removable, you can eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
At Marble Hill Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign and Spark Aligners, two leading options in clear aligner treatment. Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan will help you determine which is best for your smile.
Clear ceramic aligners make it easy to straighten your teeth without disrupting your daily routine. Here’s why patients love them.
We make your clear aligners from transparent materials, making them barely noticeable. You can feel confident in social and professional settings without the appearance of metal brackets.
Clear aligners feature a smooth plastic design to reduce irritation. With no wires or sharp edges, they offer you a more comfortable treatment experience.
Unlike braces, your aligners are easy to remove when eating, brushing, and flossing. That means no food restrictions and an easier way to maintain oral hygiene.
With no need for frequent adjustments, treatment requires fewer in-office visits. Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan will schedule periodic checkups to keep your new smile on track.
Your clear aligner journey at Marble Hill Orthodontics all about your convenience. Here’s what you can expect.
Your treatment starts with a consultation where Dr. Alys or Dr. Ryan will evaluate your teeth and discuss your smile goals. We’ll take a digital scan to create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
Using your scans, we’ll develop a series of custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set applies controlled pressure to guide your smile into place.
Wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene. Every one to two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set to continue making progress.
Throughout treatment, Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan will schedule check-ins to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. These quick visits ensure everything stays on track.
Once treatment is complete, a custom retainer will help maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.

You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and keeps them in top condition.
Otherwise, with clear aligners, you have many fewer dietary restrictions than with braces—so feel free to continue eating at your favorite local restaurants throughout your smile journey!
Rinse your aligners with cool water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Dr. Alys or Dr. Ryan may also recommend a specialized cleaning solution.
Some patients experience a slight lisp in the first few days, but this quickly fades as your mouth adjusts.
