Clear Braces Columbus
All You Can See Are the Results
Thanks to clear, ceramic braces, patients have a great aesthetic alternative to metal braces. Clear braces use brackets and wires, the way metal braces do; however, the brackets are made up of clear ceramic so that they blend in with your teeth. As a result, patients with clear braces don't have to be embarrassed by their teeth.

Things to Know About Clear Braces:
- Clear braces are less noticeable than traditional braces because they blend with your natural tooth color. They are not invisible.
- While the clear braces themselves do not stain, the clear ties that hold in the wire can stain from pigmented foods and drinks. These ties get changed at your appointments. While getting treated with ceramic, clear braces, we recommend drinking coffee through a straw and avoiding foods that may stain your ties.
- Movement of your teeth with clear braces may be slower in some instances.
During your consultation with Dr. Mason, you can get more information regarding clear braces to see if they are a good option for you.

Clear Braces FAQs
What Are the Benefits of Clear Braces?
The most obvious benefit of clear braces is their subtle appearance. However, they offer additional advantages as well, including:
- They do not interfere with imaging tests. Metal braces, on the other hand, can disrupt MRIs.
- They may be more comfortable than metal braces. Some people who have worn both metal and ceramic braces favor ceramic because they notice less irritation to the gums and cheeks.
Am I a Candidate for Clear Braces?
In general, clear braces in Columbus are great for individuals with mild to moderate dental misalignment. More severe cases may require metal braces. Also, children are not usually candidates for this treatment because clear braces are slightly less durable than metal braces, and young children may not take all necessary precautions to keep their braces in good shape.
How Do Clear Braces Compare to Other Discreet Orthodontic Treatment Options?
Clear braces and clear aligners are wonderful and discreet options for straightening teeth. They can all produce fantastic results. However, each treatment has its unique pros and cons.
