Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear braces are a more subtle option, as they are made from a transparent material that blends with the natural color of your teeth. They’re ideal for anyone who wants to keep their treatment discreet.

Additionally, clear braces won’t stain from everyday foods like coffee or tomato sauce, and any slight discoloration can easily be brushed away. You also have the option of choosing clear ties for a seamless look or adding some fun color with rubber bands.

Although ceramic braces are less noticeable, they require more attention to oral hygiene because they are larger and more fragile than metal braces. Due to these characteristics, ceramic braces are typically used more on the upper front teeth than on the lower teeth.
