clear braces - the subtle choice
Clear braces from Bond Orthodontics can give you the same amazing results with fewer people noticing you’re in treatment. If the responsibility of clear aligners is not for you, clear braces are a sleek alternative.
See the Clear Difference
At Bond Orthodontics, we understand the value of a smile that feels good and looks good. Clear braces are a huge step in orthodontic technology, bringing an effective, less noticeable alternative to metal braces.
Dr. Bond uses ceramic braces to bring you a smile that needs to stay less noticeable. For the life of the party, the big presenter, or for those who do not want their treatment to stand out, see how clear braces make your smile look brand new.
What Makes Them Work
Crafted from durable, tooth-colored ceramic materials, clear braces blend with your teeth to provide a discreet way to achieve the smile you've always wanted.
Ceramic braces function the same as their metal counterparts. They use brackets and wires to move your teeth into their ideal positions gradually.
However, the major difference lies in their appearance. Ceramic brackets are crafted to match the natural color of your teeth, making them a popular choice for those who prefer their orthodontic treatment to stay under the radar.
Considerations
While they are suitable for a wide range of patients, clear braces are especially appealing to adults and older teens. You might be looking for an orthodontic solution that doesn’t interfere with your professional or social life. Ceramic braces offer a great balance—delivering fast results while being far less noticeable, so you can feel confident throughout treatment.
It’s worth noting that although clear braces are durable, the ceramic material is slightly more prone to breakage than metal. This doesn’t reduce their effectiveness, but it does mean extra care is important to ensure a smooth treatment experience.
At Bond Orthodontics, we serve patients from Northbrook and nearby communities like Glencoe. During your initial consultation, Dr. Bond will help determine if ceramic braces are the best fit for your needs based on your lifestyle, treatment goals, and smile complexity.
Clear Braces Versus Metal Braces
While ceramic braces and metal braces use the same method to work on your smile, they have their key differences.
See what separates clear from metal and what you should consider when choosing your treatment.
Aesthetic & Functional Differences
At Bond Orthodontics, we recognize that every smile is unique, and so is the journey to achieving it. Ceramic braces offer a visually appealing alternative to metal braces.
They blend in with the natural color of your teeth for a more discreet treatment option. Ceramic braces create effective teeth alignment, offering a subtlety that might appeal to those looking for a less noticeable orthodontic treatment.
Cost Considerations
Investing in your smile is a decision that goes beyond looks. Creating clear braces from ceramic materials results in a higher cost compared to metal braces. This difference comes from the technology and materials used to create a less visible, more attractive orthodontic solution.
At Bond Orthodontics, we believe in making your path to a perfect smile accessible. We offer flexible payment plans and will work with you to maximize your benefits, ensuring that the choice between clear and metal braces is as straightforward as possible.
Treatment & Effectiveness
Choosing between clear and metal braces often comes down to the specifics of your orthodontic needs. Both options are effective in correcting a wide range of dental issues. For more complex cases, we might recommend metal braces due to their superior strength and durability.
During your consultation, Dr. Bond will carefully evaluate your smile to determine the most effective treatment plan. As a provider of Northfield orthodontics and surrounding areas, we offer both clear and metal braces to suit your needs. No matter which option is best for you, our goal at Bond Orthodontics is to ensure your treatment is successful and fits seamlessly into your personal and professional life.
