What Are Clear Braces?

Clear braces offer a more attractive alternative to ceramic or metal braces. Our Canton, GA, dentist, Dr. Stuart Loos, discusses how the clear bracesbraces work and shares a few unique advantages of wearing clear braces.

Clear braces eliminate the wires

Removable aligners, not wires, change the alignment of your teeth when you wear clear braces. The aligners look a little like the mouthguards you may have worn to play sports, although they offer a much snugger and comfortable fit. When you visit our Canton office, we'll create a computerized 3D model of your teeth using impressions, X-rays and photographs of your teeth. The 3D model allows Dr. Loos to create aligners that will fit your teeth perfectly and realign them. Changing the aligners every two weeks gradually repositions your teeth. You'll wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.

Clear braces are the ideal solution for many orthodontic issues

Whether you dislike your underbite or have difficulty eating due to an open bite, clear braces can correct your orthodontic issues. They are an excellent option for most orthodontic problems, including spacing and bite issues, although metal braces may be the best choice if your issues are severe or complicated.

Clear braces are extremely convenient

Eating can be complicated when you wear traditional braces. You have to avoid foods that might damage the wires, and cleaning your teeth can be a time-consuming process. When you wear clear braces, you won't have to worry about these issues. You'll remove your aligners when you eat and will also take them out when you brush and floss your teeth.

Unlike traditional braces, clear braces can removed occasionally for short periods of time. They're an excellent choice for people who play sports. Because they aligners are removable, you can wear a standard mouthguard during a game or practice. Your aligners can also be removed if you'll be attending an important event and would prefer not to wear them for a few hours.

Clear braces offer impressive results without wires and brackets. Call our Canton, GA, dentist, Dr. Loos, at (770) 345-8300 to schedule an appointment to find out if clear braces are the right choice for you.
