Clear braces are similar to traditional metal braces in the way they straighten your teeth, but there is a major difference when it comes to appearances. Instead of bulky metal brackets, clear braces use ceramic or other plastic material to create brackets made to blend in with your teeth. Our dentist may recommend clear braces as an orthodontic option for children, teens and adults who are looking for a discreet way to achieve their desired smile.

Having straight teeth not only enhances your smile but your oral health too by making brushing and flossing your teeth a lot easier. Other benefits of choosing clear braces to align your teeth to their correct position include:

• Boosts self-confidence
• Lowers the risk of tooth decay and gum disease
• Prevents damage to your teeth
• Improves your speech

Many patients also appreciate the fact that clear braces have smaller brackets to make their orthodontic treatment more comfortable. With a consultation, our dentist will examine the current alignment of your bite and the shape of your teeth to see if clear braces are the right choice for you.
