Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces are a popular orthodontic treatment that combines the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more aesthetic, discreet appearance. Instead of metal brackets, clear braces use tooth-colored or transparent ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable.

Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental alignment. They consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the front of the teeth, connected by a thin wire that applies gentle pressure to move the teeth into their desired positions.

Invisalign in Burlington, NC
At Daly Orthodontics, we’re thrilled to offer Invisalign as an advanced treatment option for our patients. Invisalign provides a discreet, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces, using cutting-edge technology to straighten teeth with clear, custom-fitted aligners. Dr. Daly, a skilled Invisalign specialist, has extensive experience in addressing a variety of orthodontic concerns with the Invisalign system.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment involves a series of clear, plastic aligners that are individually designed to fit your teeth. These aligners gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Typically, each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks before transitioning to the next one in the series.
The process begins with a complimentary consultation with Dr. Daly, where you’ll discuss your treatment goals and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Using our state-of-the-art intraoral 3D iTero scanner (no messy molds required!), we’ll capture a precise digital impression of your teeth to create your custom aligners.
Dr. Daly personally designs your treatment plan using Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, ensuring the best possible outcome. To aid in tooth movement, small, clear attachments are bonded to your teeth, allowing the aligners to apply gentle pressure in the right areas. You’ll wear your aligners for 20-24 hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Regular check-ups every 10-12 weeks will help Dr. Daly monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
