Clear braces are an excellent option for patients who would like the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance. Made of a tooth-colored ceramic material, clear braces blend with the natural shade of your teeth, making them far less noticeable than metal braces. This allows patients to feel more confident during treatment, especially in professional, academic, or social settings.
Clear braces function in the same way as metal braces, providing precise tooth movement and reliable results. Because of the way the teeth bite together, clear braces are used only on the upper teeth to ensure durability and comfort. The lower teeth are typically treated with metal braces, which are better suited to withstand chewing forces without risk of chipping or wear.
By combining the cosmetic advantage of clear braces on the top teeth with the strength of metal braces on the bottom teeth, patients can enjoy both aesthetics and efficiency throughout their orthodontic treatment.
