Clear Braces

What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces are a fantastic option for straightening your teeth without the noticeable look of metal braces or the hassle of keeping up with clear aligners. Since they are made from tooth-colored ceramic materials, they blend in with your natural teeth.

The brackets are attached to your teeth just like traditional braces, but their clear design makes them a more discreet choice. The wires, brackets, and ligature ties gently guide your teeth into the correct position to give you a beautiful smile with less of the metal-mouth look.

Are Clear and Metal Braces Different?

Absolutely! Clear braces are much harder to notice than metal braces, thanks to their transparent materials. However, they can be a bit more fragile and sometimes more expensive.

At Dyer Orthodontics, we can help you decide which option suits your needs and lifestyle best. We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each type to ensure you make the best choice for your smile and comfort.

Do Ceramic Braces Get Stained?

The ceramic brackets themselves won’t stain because they’re made from durable ceramic material, but the elastic ties or bands around them can discolor with certain foods and drinks.

To keep your smile bright, brush your teeth and floss every day and avoid staining foods and beverages. Every time you come to our office, we’ll change the stained elastics and provide you with extra tips to help keep your braces looking their best.
