\u201cBrace face\u201d is enough to deter any kid from taking their smile seriously – let alone being an adult seeking orthodontic treatment! It\u2019s totally fair why you wouldn\u2019t want traditional metal braces as an adult: you\u2019re at a different stage in your professional life and it\u2019s understandable why cosmetics and physical appearance impact such decisions. You sit in big board meetings and you may be forced to present in front of a lot of people. You may even have upcoming occasions or life events where your smile will be captured forever. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, technology has evolved since the days where you had to be a metal mouth to achieve straight teeth, so you needn\u2019t live with less-than-straight teeth in fear of looking like a prepubescent kid again. We\u2019re here to tell you why clear braces are a very viable option for patients of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do clear braces work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clear braces work by putting gentle pressure on the tooth and forcing the surrounding tissues to stretch and compress into a new position for holding the tooth in place. They\u2019re very similar to \u201ctraditional\u201d braces in that the same methods are applied with permanent attachments, but instead the brackets are made using a clear or enamel colored material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 5 main reasons to consider clear braces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Straight teeth promote good dental health<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Having straight teeth makes them easier to clean, reducing your chance of developing cavities or gum disease from plaque build up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. They\u2019re barely visible<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Your teeth will steadily move without you even noticing! This makes for the perfect case in support of clear braces: the sooner you seek treatment, the sooner you can enjoy the results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. They\u2019re very durable<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Just because they\u2019re clear, it doesn\u2019t mean the materials used for clear braces are in any way compromised. The materials used are in fact very strong, so you needn\u2019t worry about them chipping or cracking (which can happen with other discreet dental options). So long as you follow the simple aftercare routine, the clear materials will last as long as they are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. They\u2019re cheaper than other options<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          While both clear braces and invisible aligners achieve similar results, the latter are substantially more expensive due to the costs for making the individual aligners. Furthermore, if you only need treatment for one set of teeth, then orthodontists will often discourage invisible aligners due to their impact on your natural bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. They get better results<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            With removable treatments, the results are dependent on how good you are with wearing your aligners (and making sure you don\u2019t misplace them!). Having clear braces fixed to your teeth means there\u2019s minimal risk of human error and increasing the likelihood of securing the results you\u2019re hoping for. This also means that clear braces are a more sensible option for those with severe crookedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
