Clear Braces And Why They May Be The Best for You

Clear orthodontic braces are often made of translucent plastic. They are aesthetically and cosmetically pleasing because they tend to blend in with the teeth. Some of them cannot be spotted on the wearer's teeth from a distance.

Some brands of this type of braces are specially designed to be thin as well as clear.

Invisalign

This ingenious teeth straightening device is a set of thin, clear plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth like a mouth-guard. It is detachable and the most discreet of all clear braces. It only works best to correct mild malocclusion. It also happens to be the most costly of all braces, though worth every penny.

Your orthodontist has to confirm your eligibility to get Invisalign, using the severity of your condition as a guide. However, despite how severe your case is, towards the end of you treatment, you may talk to your doctor about getting them for the final phase.

Other Plastic Braces

Their physical design resembles that of metal braces. In this case, the brackets and anchor wire are also clear. They are hardly noticeable until an observer moves closer. Another great thing about them is they do not tear the inner cheeks or lips because they are made out of plastic.

Ceramic/ Porcelain Braces

As their name implies, they are made out of clear ceramic. Being non-metallic, they are harmless to the skin on the inside of the mouth. Ceramic tends to have the slight ivory shade that matches the color of most people's teeth. If you have bleached teeth, then they may not be the best option. These braces will definitely be visible while sitting on whiter teeth.

Compared to Invisalign, they work faster because they are fixed and have brackets to guide and retain individual teeth in position.

Like with metal braces, you have to be very careful with oral hygiene. Considering these are clear, you have to be even keener. Every single stain, no matter how tiny, will be visible, like they would be on your teeth. The grayness of metal braces is able to disguise some stains or food particles if you happen to miss a spot when brushing. With clear dental braces, you cannot afford to. But with this, is an advantage: you can see well behind the plastic/ceramic, so cleaning should be easier.

Damon Clear Braces

The brackets are made of clear plastic, but they are anchored to stainless steel anchor wires. They do not need elastic bands, making them less visible. They are innovatively created to be self-ligating. Anyone can wear them, unlike other clear dental braces like Invisalign. They are also quite comfortable, more than the traditional set.

Clear orthodontic braces are the most viable options for adults seeking to straighten their teeth and perfect their smiles discreetly. Whatever the cost, as long as they work effectively for your condition, do not hesitate to get a pair professionally installed. Before long, you will be on your way to straighter, healthier, and more beautiful teeth, which is something everybody would want to have.
