Modern braces no more need metal brackets and wires that are easily noticeable.
Clear braces are ceramic brackets that are mostly available as transparent or the colour as of your teeth. As a result, they easily blend with your teeth and provide a discreet alternative to the traditional metal braces.
Clear braces work the same way as their conventional metal counterpart. It uses a thin wire to smoothly move your teeth and the brackets into the desired position. Our orthodontist at Shirley Park Dental in South Croydon will instruct you to change the wire from time to time to facilitate moving your teeth in the right direction.
The advantages that the clear ceramic braces offer are many, including the following:
However, these less noticeable braces have their flip side too.
Our dentist will diagnose your mouth thoroughly to assess whether clear braces are the right treatment for you. If you’re found eligible, the cost of the treatment will be calculated. The exact cost depends on the brace you select and the expected duration of the treatment. Mild cases of teeth correction takes about 6 months whereas, the complicated ones may last up-to 18 months or above. At the Shirley Park Dental, we quote the minimal cost for teeth straightening with clear or ceramic braces.
