Clear braces are the same as traditional braces except that they are clear! Many of today's braces are made from either clear or natural tooth colored materials to provide patients with an attractive, less noticeable alternative to traditional braces. They provide patients with an equally effective treatment.
What are the advantages to clear braces?
- Appearance: Clear braces are a wonderful esthetic option, as they blend with the majority of enamel hues. Clear braces offer an aesthetic alternative for patients seeking options other than traditional metal braces.
- Esthetics and Comfort: The clear braces used in our office have smooth edges and rounded contours to aid in patient comfort. They are compact and have a low profile which further add to the esthetics and comfort.
- Effective: The clear brackets are as sturdy and effective as traditional metal braces.
- Confidence: Many patients who choose clear braces feel confident smiling and talking during their orthodontic treatment.
- Versatility: You can choose clear ties to hold the wire in, or colored ties to add a nice and fun pop to your clear braces.
