Discreet & Effective Treatment
At Hansen Miller Orthodontics, our self-ligating clear braces offer a discreet, effective solution for aligning your teeth. This modern treatment gives you all the benefits of modern braces with a clear, subtle look that blends in with your smile.
Clear Braces: The Modern Alternative
Clear braces, also known as ceramic braces, function similarly to metal braces but with one key difference: they’re made from clear or tooth-colored materials, making them far less noticeable.
We take it a step further with self-ligating clear braces, which use advanced technology to move your teeth quickly and comfortably without the need for elastic ties.
This combination of discretion and efficiency makes clear braces a top choice for many of our patients.
How Clear Braces Work
Clear braces work just like traditional braces by using brackets and wires to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. However, the brackets are made from a clear ceramic material that blends in with your teeth, making them less noticeable.
Self-Ligating Ceramic Braces
Our self-ligating clear brackets use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place. This innovative system reduces friction and allows your teeth to move more freely, which can result in faster treatment times and less discomfort.
Our self-ligating braces also require fewer adjustments, meaning fewer visits to our office and more time enjoying your life.
The Clear Advantage
Looking for a comfortable, efficient treatment that won’t take away from your existing smile? Our self-ligating clear braces tick all of those boxes.
These braces use advanced tech to move your teeth gently and quickly into place. Here’s the scoop on why they’re so special.
No Elastics, No Problem
Traditional braces use elastics to hold the archwire, which can slow things down. With self-ligating clear braces, no elastics mean less friction and more comfort for you. The fewer the bands, the better.
Speed Up Your Smile
Less friction means your teeth move faster. Self-ligating clear braces let the brackets slide smoothly along the archwire, speeding up your treatment time.
Easy On Your Schedule
Busy with school, sports, or just life? Self-ligating clear braces mean fewer appointments. Your doctor won’t need to make as many adjustments, so you’ll have more free time.
Stress-Free Cleaning
No more wrestling with food stuck in your braces. Self-ligating clear braces are easier to brush and floss around, reducing stress and the risk of cavities.
Versatile for Every Smile
From crowded teeth to gaps, overbites to underbites, self-ligating clear braces handle it all. They’re perfect for any age and any orthodontic challenge.
Ceramic Vs. Metal Braces: The Clear Difference
Clear braces are made from ceramic materials that blend with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable than metal braces. Metal braces, on the other hand, use stainless steel brackets that are more visible.
Let’s dig a little deeper into the differences between these two orthodontic treatments to help you determine which might work best for you.
Appearance
Clear braces are made from ceramic materials that blend with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable than metal braces. Metal braces, on the other hand, use stainless steel brackets that are more visible.
Durability
While both clear and metal braces are strong and effective, metal braces are slightly more durable due to the nature of stainless steel. However, a clear option is still highly resilient and capable of treating various orthodontic issues.
Comfort
Ceramic braces are designed to be more comfortable than metal braces, as their ceramic material is smoother and less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks. Metal braces, while effective, can sometimes cause more discomfort due to their metal brackets and wires.
