Do Clear Braces Take Longer Than Metal?

According to the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, more than 4 million people in Canada and the United States are undergoing orthodontic treatment at any one time. Orthodontic treatment refers to the process of straightening misaligned teeth in order to improve the aesthetics of a person's smile. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, braces are a fantastic option. There are many different kinds of braces that you can choose from today, from the traditional metal braces to clear braces and more. Many people prefer clear braces due to the fact that they are practically invisible. When deciding which type of braces you would like to choose, there are many factors to consider. Chief among these is 'Do clear braces take longer than metal?" In this blog post, we will answer that question and look at the process of straightening your teeth with clear braces.

These are currently available for just $55 on a limited-time offer. Once you have received your impression kit, simply follow the steps and send the kit back to our expert team. Not everyone will be deemed a suitable candidate for our clear braces. In that case, we will refund the full cost of your impression kit.

Our clear braces are available at the low fixed price of $1,285 (with a free teeth whitening kit included) or $107 per month over 12 months.

With our clear braces treatment plan, you will receive a series of clear aligners that will gradually move your teeth into their correct position. Unlike metal braces, there are no wires or brackets to worry about. This means that your clear braces will be comfortable to wear throughout your treatment duration.
