Clear braces or Clear Aligners are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for those looking to straighten their teeth discreetly. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, clear braces are made of transparent materials like ceramic or plastic. This makes them less noticeable, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who may feel self-conscious about wearing braces.

Here’s a breakdown of the key features of clear braces:

1. Material: Clear braces are typically made from ceramic or clear plastic, which blends more naturally with the colour of your teeth.
2. Appearance: They are less visible than metal braces because of their translucent material, making them a popular choice for people who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.
3. Function: Just like traditional braces, clear braces use brackets and wires to gradually shift your teeth into better alignment over time. The difference lies in the aesthetic appeal—they can straighten teeth effectively without being so noticeable.
4. Comfort: While they might not be as sturdy as metal braces, they are still relatively comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums.
5. Maintenance: Clear braces require a bit more care when it comes to cleaning because they can stain more easily than metal braces. Regular brushing and avoiding certain foods or drinks can help prevent staining.
