Clear Braces
At Advanced Orthodontic Center in Mission Viejo, California, we create ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable. These braces work as well as their metal counterpart and are a great choice for teens who do not want their braces to be very noticeable. While ceramic braces are more expensive than metal braces, they allow patients more comfort in their physical appearance. As with all braces, conscientous care of this kind of braces is important. These ceramic brackets can stain easily if patients don’t care for them well.
