The clear ceramic braces are virtually invisible once bonded onto teeth. Because these braces use the most advanced technologies, the brackets are often what’s called self-ligating and don’t need elastics. Sometimes the wires themselves are tooth-colored. One advantage of choosing invisible dental braces that are bonded onto teeth is there is no need to worry about forgetting to wear your braces or losing them.
Fixed braces also tend to provide more precise results so they can be a preferable solution for people requiring more complex tooth movements. The outcome can be a spectacular smile that enhances facial appearance. Where self-ligating brackets are used, treatment is gentler as the braces don’t need to be tightened regularly. The wires used to power clear braces are often made from lightweight titanium that gently guides teeth into the proper positions. Therefore treatment can be healthier for teeth and gums, and there is often very little discomfort.
