Clear or Ceramic Braces
Clear braces offer a more discreet teeth straightening option than traditional braces, but still use the same technology to move your teeth.
The tooth coloured almost invisible brackets are glued to your teeth with strong dental glue and a wire called an archwire connects the teeth together to generate a force to move your teeth. Clear small elastic bands are used to hold the wire to the brackets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of clear braces?
Clear braces are predominantly used for their cosmetic benefits but patients also choose them as they are:
- Equally as strong as traditional metal braces
- Less noticeable so many patients won’t feel as rushed to complete the treatment
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces have been used to treat millions of patients over a number of decades. They are the most cost effective option and it will take around an hour to apply your braces.
One of the best features of traditional metal braces is they are able to treat any orthodontic issue including severe crooked teeth, overlapping teeth, overbites and underbites.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I wear my traditional braces?
The time it takes to move your teeth into their desired position will be dependant on the severity of your case. Your age also plays a major factor in tooth movement, as the younger you are, the quicker and easier treatment may be. However, treatment for traditional metal braces usually ranges between 6 and 30 months.
