A lot of people are looking for aesthetic orthodontic options that are effective and don’t make their teeth look like they’re sporting metal braces. They want to straighten their teeth without that unmistakable metal look of traditional braces which can hold them back in social situations like work or school. Every single day we see people who want the stability and accuracy of fixed braces but are too self-conscious about the look of metal brackets and the way it can dent their confidence. At Inner Smiles Orthodontics, we’ve got years of experience with loads of different types of aesthetic orthodontic solutions, and we always find that the clear braces in Woodland Park that patients choose are the best of both worlds. They work just as well as traditional braces and are discreet enough that people can still have all the confidence they need.

The way ceramic or clear brackets have been designed is definitely a step in the right direction when it comes to orthodontic aesthetics. They use tooth-colored or super clear materials that slot in with your natural enamel so the braces look loads less obvious, especially when compared to regular old metal brackets. These clear brackets work in the same way as metal ones when it comes to nudging your teeth into place but they also have the added bonus of not being so distracting during treatment, which can make all the difference for lots of people. Orthodontics for adults offers discreet and effective solutions to straighten teeth and improve oral health at any stage of life.

Getting your treatment sorted out is just the same as with traditional braces. We do a thorough assessment of your current teeth alignment plus a close study of what changes are needed in order to get you the best results possible in both function and looks. We use pretty much the latest tools and digital planning to work out exactly what movements your teeth need and give you a fair idea of how long it’ll take and what you can expect from the results. Traditional and clear braces provide reliable, time-tested solutions for correcting alignment issues while offering options to match your lifestyle.

If you look after them properly, the brackets in clear orthodontic systems are made from top-notch ceramic or composite materials that don’t get discolored and stay clear throughout treatment, which is great news for people who don’t want to have to worry about that during their treatment. These materials have been properly researched and have been improved on loads of times to make sure they’re strong and durable enough to do the job while still looking the part when compared to metal alternatives.

Just bear in mind though that clear brackets need a bit more TLC when it comes to oral hygiene, because they can stain a bit more easily than metal ones do if you eat or drink certain stuff. We give patients a step-by-step guide on how to care for your braces plus some tips on the best cleaning methods and materials to use to keep them looking brand new.

Most people only feel a bit of discomfort at first while they get used to the braces, which is usually about the same as with regular metal braces. The way modern ceramic brackets are designed means they’ve got smooth surfaces and rounded edges, which makes it a heck of a lot less likely that your lips and cheeks will get all irritated as you get used to them.

Treatment with clear brackets usually takes about as long as regular braces for a similar issue. That’s because the way teeth move is the same no matter what kind of bracket you use. The main difference is that clear ones look way better, not that they work or are more effective.

We like to keep an eye on how you’re getting on and make any adjustments as needed so that treatment goes as planned and you get the results you’re after. Regular appointments are also a great chance to ask any questions you have about looking after or keeping your clear brackets in top nick.

Woodland Park patients generally appreciate that they can have these top class cosmetic orthodontic treatments right on their doorstep. Loads of families in Woodland Park choose clear orthodontic treatments with us because they work just as well as traditional orthodontics but look way better, which is a big confidence booster for people.
