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:
- Material:
Clear braces are typically made from ceramic or clear plastic, which
blends more naturally with the colour of your teeth.
- 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.
- 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.
- Comfort:
While they might not be as sturdy as metal braces, they are still
relatively comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums.
- 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.

noticeable way to achieve a straighter smile. We offer clear braces/clear
