We see a lot of patients who want to go with the full scope of traditional braces, but are worried about how visible the metal brackets are going to be during their orthodontic treatment. This is especially true for working professionals, like adults in higher end jobs or those who are in sales and do a lot of talking in front of clients and coworkers. The good news is that our field has made some big strides in orthodontic tech that lets us combine the effectiveness of traditional braces with a whole lot less visibility.
Transparent orthodontic brackets a great way to find that balance between how well they work and how well they look. These systems work just like regular metal braces, with brackets that are glued to your teeth and wires that hook them all together and apply a gentle but firm pressure to move your teeth into the right spot. The only real difference is that the brackets are made out of high quality ceramic or composite materials that pretty much match the color of your own teeth. 6 Month Braces focus on cosmetic alignment of the front teeth in a short time. This accelerated treatment is ideal for adults with minor to moderate crowding or gaps.
We still use the same tried and true methods that have made traditional braces the gold standard for orthodontic care when we are working with clear bracket systems. The key is to make sure each bracket is carefully placed on your teeth to get the right amount of force on them and get them moving in the right direction. And just like with traditional braces the wires are changed out regularly to keep that pressure just right and help everything move in the right order.
Compared to metal braces, clear bracket systems can make a huge difference in how things look. The brackets are the same color as your teeth, so they just sort of blend in with your smile and are a heck of a lot less noticeable when you are talking to people or hanging out with them. Clear aligners are fully invisible, of course, but transparent brackets still make a big difference in how they look, while still giving you the power to fix some pretty complicated alignment problems.
In the last few years, we have come a long way in terms of materials, modern clear brackets are super strong and resistant to staining during treatment. The ceramic and composite materials we use to make them stay looking like your natural teeth even after months of wear. So, your braces will look natural the whole time you are in treatment.
The great thing about clear bracket systems is that they can pretty much handle just about any sort of orthodontic problem you might have. They include a range of treatment options, and can help with things like complex bite disorders, severely rotated teeth, big gaps between your teeth, and some of the tougher alignment cases. They are a great choice for patients who need full on orthodontic care, and can be used in a whole lot of different ways. Retainers help maintain your results after braces or aligners. We offer both fixed and removable retainers to keep your smile in place long-term.
