Clear Braces A Subtle Orthodontic Option

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean noticeable metal braces. Clear braces provide an effective and discreet solution, ideal for adults who want to maintain a professional appearance or teens seeking a subtle look.

What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces use brackets and wires that blend in with your teeth. They work similarly to metal braces, applying gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into the desired position. Features include:
● Clear or tooth-colored brackets for a discreet appearance● White or tooth-colored archwires to blend in with your teeth● Durability and strength comparable to metal braces

While fixed like traditional braces, clear braces are less noticeable, offering a balance of functionality and aesthetics.
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are removable and also invisible, but clear braces remain fixed on your teeth.
At Roosevelt Island Advanced Dentistry, our team evaluates your bite and alignment to determine if clear braces are right for you, helping you achieve a straighter smile without the appearance of traditional metal appliances.

Benefits of Choosing Clear Braces Over Other Treatment Options

  • 1. Aesthetic Appeal

    Clear braces blend in with your natural teeth, offering a subtle and less conspicuous appearance compared to metal braces.

  • 2. Effective Treatment

    They work just as effectively as traditional braces, addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues.

    3. Comfort

    Made from smooth ceramic materials, clear braces are less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks, providing a more comfortable experience.

  • 4. Durability

    The brackets are strong and built to withstand normal daily pressures without compromising effectiveness.

  • 5. Stain-Resistant

    Clear braces are designed to resist staining, keeping their discreet look throughout treatment.

  • 6. Confidence Boost

    Their subtle appearance allows you to feel more confident in social and professional settings while undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Clear Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable, allowing greater freedom with eating and easier oral hygiene. Clear braces, however, are fixed and remain on your teeth throughout treatment. While they require a longer time commitment, clear braces do not rely on patient discipline for wear time, offering consistent, effective tooth movement.
This balance of aesthetics and functionality makes clear braces an ideal choice for patients who want to straighten their teeth effectively while maintaining a natural look. At Clemente Orthodontics, we personalize your treatment to meet your unique needs and ensure you receive attentive care every step of the way.

metal braces.

throughout your orthodontic treatment. Made from high-quality, non-toxic materials, clear braces are a safe choice for both
