What You Should Know about Clear Braces

Correcting crooked teeth with clear braces is the answer to discretion that every patient has been dreaming of. Metal braces draw unwanted attention to their size and dark color, and they are not the most hygienic option. Our expert in clear teeth braces in Los Angeles is pleased to offer this service to any patient in need of correction.

Patients of teenage years and older are eligible to get the clear version of tooth braces, and they have more than just the aesthetic advantage. The only limitations are in younger patients that do not have fully-developed jaws. Metal and clear braces require frequent office visits to tighten wires throughout the extended time it takes to achieve results. However, on average, the time it takes to complete adjustments with braces is much faster than using the Invisalign method.

Our Los Angeles orthodontist prefers clear braces because of their ease to keep clean. Although they are at a higher risk of developing stains if not properly cleaned, spotting trapped food debris is much easier through clear plastic than a dark piece of metal. Another advantage is that the clear braces help reach out to adults that avoided getting metal braces sooner simply due to the way they look.
