What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces, also known as ceramic braces or transparent braces, offer a discreet, effective way to straighten your teeth. This orthodontic treatment is different from traditional ones.

It uses tooth-colored or clear brackets and light wires. This helps them blend in with your teeth, and it is a popular choice for teens and adults who value their appearance.

Who Are Clear Braces For?

This type of braces is a good choice for patients of different ages:

Clear braces for adults and teens looking for a more natural look during treatment.
Patients with complex orthodontic issues who need the control of traditional braces but prefer a more discreet appearance.

Clear ceramic braces may not be suitable for children, unless they can maintain excellent oral hygiene to keep them clean.

At Image Orthodontics, we customize every treatment plan to fit your unique needs. Schedule a consultation with us to find out if they are right for you:

How Do They Work?

Clear braces straighten your teeth through the same process as traditional braces. A series of ceramic brackets and arch wires apply continuous pressure, gently guiding the tooth movement into better alignment.

On average, treatment takes 18 to 36 months, though your treatment time will depend on the complexity of your case.

Main Benefits of Clear Braces

Discreet appearance: Nearly transparent brackets that match your natural tooth color
Powerful precision: Just as effective as traditional braces for most orthodontic issues
Long-lasting materials: High-quality ceramic offers strength and durability
Resists staining: With proper care, ceramic brackets maintain their clarity

Disadvantages of Clear Braces

While clear orthodontic braces are a great solution, there are a few things to consider:

Slightly higher cost: Ceramic materials can be more expensive
More brittle: So no chomping on ice or hard candy!
May take longer: It might take a bit longer to achieve results than with conventional braces, depending on your specific needs
