Spokane Ceramic Braces
Clear Treatment, Brilliant Smiles
iSmile Orthodontics offers clear braces as a stylish and effective way to perfect your smile. Combining the strength of traditional braces with the discretion of aligners, ceramic braces present a less noticeable yet powerful orthodontic solution.
Explore the Benefits of Clear Braces
Clear braces provide a subtle yet powerful option for straightening teeth, ideal for adults and teens who seek a blend of aesthetic appeal and orthodontic effectiveness.
At iSmile Orthodontics, we craft our ceramic braces from tooth-colored materials that blend with your natural teeth to ensure your orthodontic treatment remains discreet.
Similar to traditional metal braces, clear braces use brackets and wires to shift teeth into the correct alignment. Yet, they stand apart by focusing on blending into your daily life to offer an attractive solution without compromising functionality.
The Advantages of Clear Braces
Clear braces offer more than effective tooth movement — they provide a discreet way to enhance your smile.
Let’s take a look at the key benefits ceramic braces can bring to your orthodontic treatment.
Discreet Design
Clear brackets feature elements that match your natural tooth color, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This benefit is a plus for adults and teens who prefer to keep their orthodontic treatment low-profile.
Comfortable Wear
Designed with smooth, rounded edges, ceramic braces reduce irritation and discomfort to your lips and inner cheeks to give you a more comfortable treatment experience.
Enhanced Confidence
The less visible nature of clear brackets boosts your confidence throughout treatment. Enjoy smiling and engaging outside without the self-consciousness often associated with more noticeable braces.
Proven Effectiveness
Clear braces effectively address a variety of orthodontic issues, from spacing and bite misalignments to crowding. They provide these solutions while maintaining a subtle appearance.
Understanding How Ceramic Braces Work
Clear braces operate on the same principle as metal braces, using a system of brackets and wires to precisely move your teeth into alignment. Their unique materials offer additional benefits.
Step-by-Step Treatment
Your clear braces journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Lauren reviews your dental history, takes necessary scans, and maps out your treatment plan.
During your next visit, Dr. Lauren precisely places the ceramic brackets and attaches a thin wire. Regular check-ups allow us to adjust the wire and monitor your progress, ensuring your treatment is advancing as planned toward a perfect smile.
Tailored Fit
At iSmile Orthodontics, we customize ceramic braces to match the natural color of your teeth to ensure they blend in with your smile.
You can also choose different colors for the bands, personalizing your treatment to reflect your style.
Clear vs. Metal Braces
When you're thinking about braces, the way they look matters a lot.
Appearance & Strength
We make clear brackets from a tooth-colored material that blends with your teeth. They’re great for people who want braces that are hard to see. Metal braces are strong and good for fixing big teeth problems because they can handle a lot of pressure.
Ceramic braces are good for most teeth-straightening needs and are less noticeable. They work well for adults and teens who don’t want their braces to show too much.
Metal braces are often suggested if you need a lot of work done on your teeth because they are very durable.
Choosing What's Best for You
Think about what you need from braces. If you don't want people to notice your braces much, clear brackets might be right for you. Metal braces could work better if you need stronger brackets for more significant teeth movement.
Both types work well — your choice depends on what you like and what Dr. Lauren recommends after looking at your teeth.
