Clear Aligners: A Popular Option
Out of the types of clear braces available, clear aligners seem to be the most popular. The biggest reason for this is that you don't have to constantly have them sitting on your teeth; in fact, you have the option of removing them whenever you please.Process
The process for adding clear retainers is intricate and rather unique. The patient in need of an alignment will have an impression created that fits the shape of their mouth. Afterward, a treatment plan is created that will detail how many aligners are needed and outline how the teeth will look like after the treatment. Once the procedure is approved, a series of aligners are made for the patient to wear over a prescribed period of time. The patient can use the aligners to handle their own teeth straightening at home and still receive high-quality results.Duration
The aligners are customized to the current shape of your teeth, and you'll switch out aligners over time as your teeth are straightened. In general, each aligner you receive should stay on your teeth for around 22 hours a day (outside of eating and drinking) for 10 days so the most pressure can be applied before your next set.Convenience
clear aligners are undoubtedly the most convenient option for those who want freedom over when they wear their braces. You can put them on or remove them at any time (though removing them for too long hinders the alignment process). You can also clean them easier, and they're very resistant to wear and tear as they're being worn.Ceramic: Blending Into Surroundings
Instead of being completely clear like invisible braces, ceramic braces actually work by copying the color of your teeth. The ceramic material makes it much easier for the wearer to blend the color to match their own teeth, so it's almost impossible for anyone to notice.Process
Ceramic braces go on the teeth like traditional metal braces. In fact, the only major difference is that they are more discreet due to their color. The ceramic material also helps the braces to form better around the patient's teeth for a more customized result.Convenience
Since ceramic is used, these braces cost less than metal braces, and they are more discreet and less visible. Though they are slightly larger and can stain due to the diet or because of bad hygiene practices, these braces are perfect for those who want to keep their braces off the visible radar and keep prices low while doing it.Lingual Braces: Hidden From Sight
No other type of braces embodies "out of sight, out of mind" quite like lingual braces. These braces are placed behind the teeth instead of in front, and use pressure from behind to straighten your teeth.Process
These braces are by far the most specialized and least common type of straightening system on the market. In fact, it's such an uncommon procedure that orthodontists aren't even required to learn it while in school. Any orthodontist that wants to learn the practice, therefore, has to teach themselves how to do it. It's also slower to install the lingual braces because you're having them placed behind your tooth, naturally making it harder to work with. However, they are completely hidden from the front of your mouth and fix your teeth in much the same manner as traditional braces, promising healthier teeth alignment through consistent pressure on the teeth.Duration
It takes about the same amount of time to align your teeth with lingual braces as it does with traditional braces. After 1.5 to 2 years, the process should be complete and you'll have a nice set of straight teeth.Convenience
As stated earlier. lingual braces are designed to work 24/7 while staying hidden from the public eye. However, they're also helpful for those who have complex orthodontic needs. Your orthodontist can recommend them to you if they see lingual braces as a viable option for your teeth.Let's Get You a Straighter Smile
