Clear braces at Marble Hill Orthodontics offer the power of metal braces with a lower-profile appearance.
Designed to blend with your teeth, these ceramic brackets give you a more discreet way to straighten your smile.
Clear braces use the same trusted mechanics as metal braces but with ceramic brackets that match the natural shade of your teeth. They provide a strong, effective solution while being less noticeable.
These brackets are made from durable ceramic material, offering a balance of aesthetics and performance.
Whether for teens or adults, clear braces provide a reliable way to correct misalignment, spacing, and bite concerns.
Clear braces offer the same dependable results as metal braces but with a more subtle design. Here’s why they’re a great choice.
Ceramic brackets are designed to match the color of your teeth, making them a less noticeable option for orthodontic treatment.
Clear braces provide the same level of correction as metal braces, handling everything from crowding to bite misalignment.
With rounded edges and smooth surfaces, ceramic brackets are designed to minimize irritation to the inside of your mouth.
Clear braces are a great option for older teens and adults looking for a more discreet way to straighten their teeth without sacrificing effectiveness.
Clear braces at Marble Hill Orthodontics are designed for comfort and efficiency. Here’s how treatment works.
Brackets are bonded to your teeth, and an archwire is placed to guide your teeth into alignment. The process is quick and pain-free.
Every few weeks, you’ll visit our office for adjustments to keep your treatment on track and moving forward.
Once your teeth are aligned, we’ll remove your braces and fit you with a retainer to maintain your results.
Clear braces and metal braces both provide strong, reliable results, but they have some key differences. Here’s how they compare:
Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend with your teeth, making them a more discreet option compared to metal braces.
Metal braces are slightly stronger, but clear braces are still durable and effective for most orthodontic cases.
We’ve designed both options for your comfort, but clear brackets tend to be smoother, reducing irritation inside the mouth.
Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan can help determine which option is best for your smile during your consultation.

During your consultation, Dr. Alys or Dr. Ryan will help you decide if clear braces are the right fit for your needs.
Here’s what to expect when choosing clear braces at Marble Hill Orthodontics.
Treatment time varies, but most patients wear clear braces for 12 to 24 months. Dr. Alys or Dr. Ryan will outline a customized timeline based on your needs.
The brackets themselves are stain-resistant, but the clear elastic ties can discolor. You can avoid dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine to keep your braces looking their best.
That said, Dr. Alys or Dr. Ryan will replace your elastic ties at each adjustment appointment—and sometimes in between adjustments—so you don’t need to completely change your diet or lifestyle when wearing clear elastics with your ceramic braces.
Yes! Clear braces work just like metal braces, using brackets and wires to guide teeth into alignment.
Sticky, hard, and chewy foods can damage your braces. Avoid caramel, popcorn, and crunchy snacks to prevent issues with your brackets and wires.
Brush after every meal, floss daily using a threader or water flosser, and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings.
Clear braces offer the strength of metal braces with a more subtle look. Schedule your free consultation at Marble Hill Orthodontics today, and let Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan help you get started.
