What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces work just like traditional metal braces but use translucent or tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend naturally with your smile. This makes them a popular choice for patients who want the benefits of braces without the noticeable appearance of metal.

At Westwood Orthodontics, our clear braces use advanced materials that are durable, comfortable, and stain-resistant. They’re ideal for patients who want a more aesthetic treatment option that still delivers exceptional results.

Benefits of Clear Braces

Choosing clear braces offers a wide range of advantages, including:

  • Discreet Appearance: The brackets blend with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable in photos or daily interactions.
  • Precise and Effective Results: Clear braces offer the same level of control and precision as traditional metal braces, ensuring optimal alignment.
  • Comfortable Design: The smooth ceramic surface reduces irritation and feels more natural in your mouth.
  • Great for All Ages: Teens and adults alike can enjoy clear braces as a subtle yet powerful orthodontic option.

If you’ve been hesitant about braces because of their appearance, clear braces may be the perfect compromise between effectiveness and aesthetics.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Braces?

Clear braces are an excellent choice for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:
  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Crowded teeth
During your consultation at Westwood Orthodontics, our doctors will evaluate your smile and recommend the best treatment plan for your unique case.

Clear Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?

Both clear braces and Invisalign ®provide discreet ways to straighten your teeth, but they differ in how they work and what types of cases they’re best suited for.

Clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that are fixed to your teeth, offering a subtle appearance while still providing the same control and precision as traditional braces. Because they remain attached throughout your treatment, they’re ideal for patients with moderate to complex orthodontic needs or for those who prefer a low-maintenance option that doesn’t require removing aligners.

On the other hand, Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth into position. These aligners are nearly invisible, making them a great choice for adults and teens who want a flexible, aesthetic option. Invisalign® is best suited for mild to moderate cases and requires consistent wear, about 20 to 22 hours per day, for the best results.

If you’re unsure which treatment fits your needs, the team at Westwood Orthodontics will evaluate your smile and lifestyle to recommend the most effective option. Whether you prefer the continuous precision of clear braces or the convenience of removable aligners, our orthodontists will guide you toward a confident, healthy smile. 

Caring for Your Clear Braces

Maintaining your clear braces is essential for achieving the best results and keeping your smile healthy. Follow these simple tips:
  • Brush and floss thoroughly after every meal.
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods that may damage brackets.
  • Use an orthodontic toothbrush or water flosser for deep cleaning.
  • Keep up with your regular checkups at Westwood Orthodontics for adjustments and progress reviews. 
With proper care, your braces will remain clear and effective throughout treatment.

Life After Clear Braces

Once your braces are removed, you’ll be amazed by your new smile! To maintain your results, you’ll receive a custom retainer that helps keep your teeth in their ideal position. Our orthodontists will provide clear instructions to ensure your smile stays beautiful for life.

At Westwood Orthodontics, we don’t just straighten teeth; we help you maintain your results with lifelong smile care.
