What are clear braces?
Clear braces W1 are very similar to traditional braces. However, they have clear brackets instead of metal brackets. This feature makes them less noticeable and less prominent. This is the ideal option if you are too concerned about your braces being visible. On the other hand, this option is best if you are looking to be discreet about wearing braces. There are different types of invisible braces, such as Invisalign, but these aren’t the same as clear braces W1. Instead, they are removable plastic trays. Clear braces W1 are made from ceramic or plastic material.
How do clear braces straighten teeth?
Clear ceramic braces are attached to the individual tooth and connected with a wire. This is one of the best treatment options for treating misaligned teeth. Brackets are carefully placed to manipulate the teeth in all directions and to position them into proper alignment. This treatment takes between 18 to 24 months.
Most of these use a metal wire to link the metal brackets, but there is also the option of a white archwire. This option makes the braces less noticeable and therefore indistinguishable. When you are wearing these braces, it is essential to take extra care to maintain good dental hygiene, especially in places that are difficult to reach when cleaning your teeth.
This is a treatment option recommended to fix mild to severe cases of malocclusion or tooth misalignment. As always, make sure to do your research and to follow the advice that we will provide you with for aftercare and for advice on how to keep your teeth as healthy as possible until we next see you again.
