If you’re unhappy with your teeth but want to avoid the look of traditional metal braces, clear fixed braces may be the perfect option for you.

Clear fixed braces function similarly to traditional braces, using brackets and wires to gradually align your teeth. The key difference is that the brackets and wires are made from tooth-coloured, clear ceramic materials, making them significantly less noticeable than metal braces.

Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, clear fixed braces now offer all the precision and effectiveness of traditional braces, with a much more subtle appearance.

At DNTL Smiles & Wellness, we offer a range of clear fixed braces solutions tailored to your needs. Our specialist orthodontists will guide you through the options and help you choose the best treatment for your smile.

What are clear braces?

Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, paired with metal or tooth-coloured wires, making them less visible than traditional metal braces. They correct a wide variety of orthodontic issues, including:

Crooked or crowded teeth.
Overbites and underbites.
Crossbites and open bites.
Gaps or spaces between teeth.

Clear braces are suitable for both teens and adults looking for a discreet yet effective teeth straightening option.

How do clear braces work?

Your orthodontist will bond the clear ceramic brackets to the front surfaces of your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Then, a wire is threaded through the brackets and secured with elastics or clips. These components work together to apply gentle, continuous pressure that gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal positions.

Once fitted, your clear braces will work 24/7 to give you a straighter smile. Treatment duration varies depending on your individual case, but many patients see significant improvement within months.

Benefits of clear fixed braces

Discreet appearance: The tooth-coloured brackets and wires blend with your natural teeth for a less noticeable look.
Precise & reliable: Clear braces provide the same level of precision as traditional braces, ensuring effective, long-lasting results.
Improved oral hygiene: Ceramic materials are less likely to collect plaque and staining if you maintain good oral care.
Suitable for complex cases: Unlike removable aligners, clear braces can treat more severe orthodontic problems.

What to expect

You may experience some mild discomfort or soreness after your braces are placed or adjusted — this is normal and usually subsides quickly.
Avoid hard, crunchy, sticky, or staining foods to protect your braces and prevent discolouration.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly with recommended orthodontic tools.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment typically lasts between 12 and 36 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

While clear braces might take slightly longer than metal braces to achieve results, their aesthetic advantage makes them an excellent choice for many patients.

Are clear braces right for me?

Clear braces are an excellent solution for those who want effective teeth straightening without the visibility of traditional metal braces.

However, they require good care to avoid damage or staining. Not everyone is a candidate for clear braces, so it’s important to have a consultation to assess your suitability.
