For many years, metal braces were the only option for patients who needed to straighten their teeth and align their bite. These were not an ideal appliance for many, as they can be uncomfortable and aesthetically displeasing. Fortunately, there are several different types of orthodontic appliances available today, some of which are less obvious.
Patients love clear braces first and foremost because they are very nearly invisible. This type of orthodontics is also much more comfortable to wear, due to how it is made and how it works.
Clear braces use aligners that fit around the teeth much like a mouth guard. On top of being close to invisible, they can also be removed to eat and clean the teeth. These features provide for a very comfortable treatment experience. Many types of braces are less noticeable, such as ceramic and lingual braces, but this is the only type that is virtually see-through.
Many future patients are candidates for clear braces. They can address crooked teeth and mild to moderate bite misalignments. A consultation with our orthodontists in Los Angeles can inform you whether or not you can get clear braces to perfect your smile.
