Clear Braces in Unley & Hahndorf
Discreet Treatment With Lasting Results
At Adelaide Orthodontics, Dr Sven Jensen offers clear braces for patients who want a low-profile treatment with the reliability of metal braces. These ceramic brackets blend with your natural tooth colour, creating a more subtle look without compromising on results.
The Best of Both Worlds
Clear braces, also called ceramic braces, use tooth-coloured or translucent brackets to make orthodontic treatment less noticeable. They work just like metal braces—using brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into alignment—but with a more low-profile appearance, similar to clear aligners.
Dr Sven recommends clear braces for patients who want strength and precision without drawing attention to their smile during treatment. They’re especially popular with teens and adults who prefer an option that blends in.
How Do Clear Braces Work?
Clear braces use the same proven mechanics as metal braces. Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected by an archwire, which applies gentle pressure to move your teeth over time.
At Adelaide Orthodontics, we use advanced techniques to make the process as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Why Choose Clear Braces?
There’s a whole lot of reasons to recommend clear braces, such as:
A Subtle Look
Ceramic brackets blend with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This makes clear braces an excellent choice for image-conscious teens and adults.
Reliable Results
Clear braces provide the same treatment power as metal braces. They can address crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and other complex orthodontic issues effectively.
Comfortable Design
Smooth ceramic brackets reduce irritation to the cheeks and gums. While adjustments may cause mild soreness, most patients find clear braces easy to adapt to.
Strength & Durability
Ceramic braces are built to last throughout treatment and can handle the same orthodontic demands as metal braces.
Convenient Care
Clear braces are perfect if you’re interested in an option that is as low-profile as clear aligners, but you aren’t interested in keeping track of the aligning trays and following a schedule.
Caring for Your Clear Braces
Stay on Top of Oral Hygiene
Brush after every meal and floss daily using orthodontic flossers or a water flosser. Ceramic brackets can stain if plaque builds up, so good hygiene is essential.
Foods to Avoid
Avoid sticky, chewy, and hard foods like caramel, popcorn, and nuts, as these can damage brackets and wires.
Regular Appointments
Visit Adelaide Orthodontics every six to eight weeks so Dr Sven can monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
