Clear Braces

Wearing braces doesn’t have to be so obvious!

Ceramic brackets have proven to be amongst our most popular orthodontic treatments. These aesthetic braces are the clear alternative to metal braces. Unlike traditional metal braces, you won’t have to worry about showing a “train track” every time you smile.

An attractive translucent appearance and comfortable design gives you all the self-confidence you need to face each day with a smile. You’ll be noticed but your braces won’t.

The benefits

  • Quick results – compared to an invisible aligner like Invisalign braces, ceramic braces move your teeth faster. For example, Invisalign aligners can take up to 3 years to straighten your teeth, depending on the patient, whereas ceramic braces take between 18 to 36 months.

  • Greater variety of options – unlike traditional metal braces, with ceramic braces you can choose the colour you want.

  • This means you can choose tooth-coloured brackets, as opposed to metallic silver brackets and wires.

There are several types of Clear Ceramic Braces and once you meet our expert orthodontists, they’ll be able to advise on which option would be ideal for you.

Clarity

Damon Clear Appliances

The Damon clear appliances have the large advantage of allowing the teeth to slide easily with their self-ligating clip which has the potential to reduce treatment time. The self-ligating clip also means there’s no need for elastic modules, which can stain when eating strongly flavoured or spiced foods.

Empower Clear Braces

This is another clear brace where comfort and aesthetics were at the forefront, during the design stage. Similar to the Damon Clear Appliances, Empower Clear Braces employ a self-ligating clip which allow for swift wire adjustments. This reduces treatment time at our dental practice, and makes life easier for you – all whilst giving you a straighter smile!

The clue’s in the name. You can straighten your teeth within 6 months! This is one of the most popular treatments available, due to the speed with which you can see results.

Other benefits of six month smiles include:

FAQ’s

 

How long do I need to wear clear braces?

It’s recommended that you wear braces for 22 hours a day, leaving 2 hours for when you’re eating, brushing and flossing etc.

Which option is better, Invisalign treatment or Ceramic Clear Brackets?
