Clear braces are a subtle way to straighten your smile, no matter the complexity
Clear braces are still the most effective way to straighten and realign your smile not matter the complexity of the case.
What are clear braces?
Clear braces are a way to straighten the teeth in as little as six months that is also discreet and reliable. It is often recommended for adults that want to straighten their teeth but don’t want to have metal braces distracting from their appearance. These clear braces are used to cover the part of your smile referred to as the ‘social six’ which are the six most visible teeth when you smile. These are straightened with a tooth coloured wire and clear brackets that comfortably straighten your teeth.
What braces can and cannot do
Braces move teeth with brackets and a wire, and they can treat movements and bites that clear aligners cannot. Some cases still need extractions, a referral to a specialist orthodontist, or treatment aimed at the position of the jaw rather than the teeth.
Treatment carries risks. Brackets make teeth harder to clean, and plaque left around them can leave permanent white marks or decay; longer treatment can shorten the roots of some teeth; and teeth drift back towards their old positions if retainers are not worn as directed. Expect soreness for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment. Results vary from one person to the next. Whether braces suit you can only be decided after an individual assessment, and you are welcome to seek a second opinion.

99.7% of people think a smile is an important social asset – and as dentists we completely agree. Not only is a straight smile generally healthier, they also look appealing and may help you to appear more professional. According to studies, 74% of people think that an unattractive smile can adversely affect a person’s chance for employment and success. While this statistic may seem extreme, when you consider that your smile is one of the first things that people will notice, this does not come as a surprise.
As with all orthodontic treatment, it’s important that you wear a retainer to maintain your new straighter smile. You will have a number of options available to you, including a fitted retainer or a removable retainer. People often neglect wearing their removable retainers, so we recommend having a fitted retainer which is secured to the back of the teeth where it is unnoticeable. Wearing your retainer as directed is what keeps your teeth in their new position.
