Not all braces are made of highly noticeable metal brackets and wires. In fact, many of today’s braces are made with either clear brackets, or natural tooth-colored brackets, to provide patients with an attractive, less noticeable alternative to traditional braces.
What are the advantages and disadvantages to clear braces?
As with any orthodontic treatment, it is important to choose the right option for your needs and your lifestyle. Clear braces are a great alternative to traditional metal braces; however, you and your orthodontist will know if they are the right treatment for you.
Advantages to clear braces:
- Appearance: clear braces are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
- Confidence: many patients who choose clear braces feel more confident about their orthodontic treatment. Clear braces offer an aesthetic alternative for people seeking options other than traditional metal braces.
Disadvantages to clear braces:
- Cost: clear braces may cost more than traditional metal braces. Your orthodontist may offer convenient payment plans to help control the costs of your treatment. Be sure to talk to your orthodontist about all of your financial options.
What is the difference between clear braces and clear aligners?
Clear braces are a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces, and provide patients with an equally effective treatment.
Clear aligners are different from clear braces. Clear aligners are pieces of hard plastic that are designed to fit into your mouth like a mouthguard. Clear aligners are great for patients requiring minor orthodontic treatment.
