What Are Clear Braces?

Clear, or ceramic, braces work just like traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets that are far less noticeable. They're a great middle ground for patients who want the dependability of braces with a subtler look, especially on the upper front teeth that show most when you smile.

Clear Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Both are discreet, but they suit different smiles. Clear braces stay on your teeth and handle a wide range of corrections around the clock, while clear aligners are removable trays that depend on consistent wear. Dr. Chu will help you weigh appearance, treatment needs, and lifestyle to pick the best fit.

A complimentary consultation compares both against your specific smile, honestly and without pressure.

Why Patients Choose Them

Clear braces deliver the proven results of braces without a mouth full of metal, which is why they're so popular with image-conscious teens and working adults. The ceramic brackets resist staining, and because they're fixed in place there's nothing to remember or take out, so treatment stays on schedule.

Who They're For, and What They Cost

Clear braces suit teens and adults who want effective treatment with a subtle look, including corrections too complex for aligners. Cost is often comparable to metal braces, with a small premium for the ceramic brackets, and we offer orthodontic financing to keep monthly payments manageable.

All the confidence of a proven treatment, without the metal, and with a team that keeps every visit easy.

Common questions

Do clear braces stain?

The ceramic brackets resist staining, though the clear elastic ties can pick up color from foods like curry or coffee. We change those at each visit, so any discoloration is temporary.
