A more discreet way to straighten

Clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend in with your smile, so they are far less noticeable than metal. They work the same proven way, gently guiding your teeth into place, and they give you the same dependable results.

They are a favorite with teens and adults who want to feel comfortable in photos, at school, and at work while they straighten their smile. As always, your doctor plans and monitors every case personally.

Common questions

Are clear braces as effective as metal?
Yes. Clear braces move your teeth the same proven way and give the same dependable results. The main difference is the look, since the ceramic brackets blend in with your smile.
Do the clear brackets stain?
The brackets themselves resist staining, and with good brushing and simple daily care they tend to stay looking clean. At your visits we will share easy tips to keep everything bright.
How long does treatment take?
It varies by smile, since every case is a little different. At your consultation we will give you a clear, honest estimate based on what we see, so you know what to expect before anything begins.
Can I still choose band colors with clear braces?
Yes. Clear braces use the same elastic ligatures as metal braces, so you get the same choice at every adjustment visit. Many adults stay with clear or pearl to keep the whole appliance discreet, while plenty of teens treat the bands as the fun part. See the full braces color chart.
Are clear braces the same as clear aligners?
No, and it is a common mix-up. Clear braces are fixed to your teeth with tooth-colored ceramic brackets and stay on until treatment is finished. Clear aligners are removable trays you swap on a schedule. Either can be the right answer depending on the case, and your doctor will talk through which suits yours. See Invisalign for adults.
