Straighten your smile discreetly with clear aligners from Dr. Rockwell.
At Marlton Modern Dentistry, orthodontic treatment is built around clear aligners that straighten teeth comfortably and almost invisibly. Dr. Rockwell offers both Invisalign and SureSmile, two leading clear aligner systems that use advanced digital planning to deliver precise, predictable results. Whether you are correcting minor spacing or more complex alignment issues, clear aligner therapy can move you toward your smile goals with minimal disruption to daily life.
Straighter teeth do more than improve your appearance. They make brushing and flossing easier, improve your bite function, and can reduce your risk of future dental problems. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable for meals and cleaning, and built around a custom treatment plan that maps your tooth movement from day one to the final result. The treatment fits adult and teen lifestyles without putting daily life on pause.
Treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Rockwell evaluates your teeth, talks through your goals, and determines whether Invisalign or SureSmile is the right fit. Digital scans create a 3D model of your teeth and a customized treatment plan, often with a preview of your projected final smile. Custom aligners are fabricated and you receive several sets to change at home every 1 to 2 weeks. You wear them 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth. Brief check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks make sure progress is on track. Most cases finish within 6 to 18 months, followed by a retention phase to lock in the result.
Most teens and adults with common orthodontic issues are candidates for clear aligner therapy. These systems can effectively treat crowding, spacing, mild to moderate bite issues, and more. During your consultation, Dr. Rockwell will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
Clear aligner therapy is typically less uncomfortable than traditional braces. You may experience mild pressure or discomfort for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners, which indicates the treatment is working to move your teeth. This temporary sensation is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
Clean your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water or special aligner cleaning solution. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Always remove aligners when eating or drinking anything besides water, and brush your teeth before reinserting them to prevent staining and decay.
Take the first step toward a straighter, healthier smile. Dr. Rockwell and the team in Marlton help you decide between Invisalign and SureSmile and guide you through every step of your orthodontic journey.
