Clear Braces Hallandale Beach, FL
When Hallandale Beach patients think about orthodontic treatments that work and look good, clear braces from our office are a great choice because they are both functional and discreet. These new orthodontic devices work just as well as regular braces but look less obvious which is appealing to everyone regardless of age who cares about their appearance. At Rozman Orthodontics we know many of our patients want to straighten their teeth without the metal look that comes with traditional braces.
Clear braces use brackets made of ceramic or tooth colored materials that match the color of your teeth making them much less visible than metal braces. The brackets are custom made to match different tooth colors so they blend in perfectly throughout the whole treatment. Patients can also choose clear or tooth colored wires that make their orthodontic appliances even less noticeable when they talk to others every day.
The process of getting clear braces is similar to getting traditional metal braces. We have regular adjustment appointments to check on progress and make any changes that are needed. These devices use the same tried and true methods of applying controlled force to slowly move teeth into place. Because of this patients can expect the same treatment time and results as with regular braces.
Many adults and teens like clear braces because they can look professional and feel good about themselves while they are being treated. People who work in business, talk in public or deal with customers typically choose these discreet methods to keep their orthodontic treatment under wraps. Also when patients feel good about how they look, big events like weddings, graduations and important presentations are less stressful.
When patients follow the right care guidelines the ceramic materials used in clear braces show great longevity and resistance to staining. But you have to be a little more careful with these appliances than with metal braces since porcelain can break more easily when too much force is applied. We give patients detailed care instructions to help them protect their investment and keep their mouths as clean as possible during treatment.
When choosing a treatment cost is often an issue. Clear braces are usually a little more than regular metal braces. These beautiful appliances cost a little more because they are made with more advanced materials and production methods. But many patients feel the extra cost is worth it because they look better and feel more confident.
When you wear clear braces it’s even more important to keep your mouth clean because any plaque or stains will show up more against the clear materials. We stress the importance of brushing and flossing thoroughly to keep these looking good and prevent staining. Regular professional cleanings also help maintain the aesthetic benefits during treatment.
Some patients notice small changes in how they speak during the first few weeks of wearing the appliance just like with other orthodontic devices. But most people get used to their clear braces quickly and don’t have any big changes in their speech. Compared to metal brackets the smooth ceramic surfaces don’t irritate the lips and cheeks as much.
When you play sports you need to be extra careful with clear braces because mouthguards are necessary to protect your teeth during contact sports. We work with patients to make sure they are safe while still getting the best treatment possible. You can make custom mouthguards that will fit around your orthodontic appliances.
When planning treatment for clear braces each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals must be carefully considered. In some cases it may be best to use a combination of clear and metal brackets to get the best results for both function and look. Our Hallandale Beach staff has ways to do this efficiently.
For those who want the most private treatment options Invisalign offers removable transparent aligners that look even better in some cases. But clear braces are still great options for cases that need more precise control or more complex tooth movement.
Patients who choose clear braces feel better about their orthodontic treatment and are more likely to stick with it when they feel good about how they look during the correction process.
