Fixed braces don’t have to be glinting metal appliances. With Clarity™️ ceramic braces you can enjoy the tried and trusted results of fixed braces but with the discretion of clear, tooth-coloured brackets and wires.
HOW DO CERAMIC BRACES WORK?
Clear ceramic braces use the same mechanics as traditional fixed metal braces, with brackets fixed to your teeth and wires strung through them to pull your teeth into alignment. However, smaller, translucent ceramic brackets used in combination with tooth-coloured wires results in a more comfortable and discreet treatment journey.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CERAMIC BRACES?
Clear ceramic braces blend into the background of your teeth so you can smile without worrying about glinting metal brackets drawing unwanted attention to your teeth.
Clear ceramic braces won’t stain or discolour so you don’t need to worry about avoiding certain foods or drinks.
Clear ceramic braces are ideal for anyone allergic to nickel or chrome.
Clear ceramic braces use smaller brackets and exert gentler forces, without compromising on the final result of straighter teeth, so you can enjoy greater comfort during your treatment journey.
WHAT DOES THE CERAMIC BRACES TREATMENT PROCESS INVOLVE?
After an initial consultation to determine if Clear ceramic braces are the right choice for you, we’ll take a digital scan so that our experienced orthodontist Chris West can put together a treatment plan that caters to your needs.
At your fitting appointment Chris will attach the brackets and wires and advise you on how to take care of your new ceramic brackets. You’ll come in for regular appointments to tighten the wires of your braces so that they continue to pull your teeth into alignment. We’ll check that everything is progressing well, ensuring that you can achieve your ideal smile.
