Clear Braces in Sarasota
Invisible Braces are Clear Braces!
Clear braces also known as invisible braces or ceramic braces are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. Although we offer Invisalign, some patients decide Invisalign may not be the option for them. For that reason, we provide clear braces at our Sarasota orthodontic office so that our patients still have a more aesthetically pleasing option. These braces consist of clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires, blending seamlessly with the natural color of the teeth, making them significantly less noticeable. Clear braces still deliver effective tooth movement and beautifully aligned smiles, making them suitable for individuals seeking a balanced combination of cosmetic appeal and orthodontic functionality. Since they function very similarly, we encourage you to check out what we have to say about metal braces.
Clear Braces vs. Metal Braces
In addition to their aesthetic and cost differences, ceramic and metal braces also vary in their maintenance requirements. Metal braces are typically easier to maintain as they are less prone to staining from food and drink. They also tend to withstand wear and tear better over the course of treatment. On the other hand, ceramic braces may require more careful cleaning to prevent discoloration, and adjustments may need to be made more frequently to maintain their effectiveness. Despite these variances, both types of braces offer effective solutions for correcting dental alignment and achieving optimal oral health outcomes. The choice between ceramic and metal braces often depends on individual preferences regarding appearance and maintenance considerations, both of which should be discussed with Dr. Chan to determine the most suitable option for you.
