Clear Braces

What Are Clear Braces

Clear braces are mostly same way as traditional metal braces. Brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected by an archwire that gradually moves teeth into position.

The difference is cosmetic: the brackets are made from a tooth-coloured ceramic material that blends with the natural shade of the tooth, making them far less noticeable than metal.

They're a fixed appliance, meaning they work continuously without any compliance requirements. For teens who want reliable results but prefer a more discreet look than metal, clear braces are a practical middle ground.

Benefits of Clear Braces

• Less visible than metal braces, with tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with your smile

• Fixed appliance — no need to remember to wear or change anything

• Effective for a wide range of cases including crowding, spacing, bite correction, and more

• A good option where clear aligners may not provide sufficient correction

• Brackets are smooth and refined in profile, reducing irritation to the lips and cheeks

Are Clear Braces more Fragile than Metal?

Ceramic brackets are slightly more brittle than metal, so it's important to avoid hard or crunchy foods that could cause a bracket to chip or debond. We'll go through the full care guidelines at your fitting appointment.

Who Can Wear Clear Braces
