Clear Braces: You Have Options

While some people are born with genes that give them a straight smile, everyone else must turn to orthodontics. Today, there’s a vast array of orthodontic treatments that can adjust your smile to make it straighter and more appealing. Among them, modern dentistry even offers clear braces systems that are faster and more discrete than traditional braces. If you’ve looked into clear braces before, you know that even in that section, you have a lot of options that are all appealing for different reasons. Some offer short treatment schedules, and others make the whole process a lot less embarrassing. In this article, we’ll explore a few of the most common treatments to help you narrow down your options and find the system that’s right for you!

A Straight Smile in Six Months

Six Month Smiles is a popular clear braces treatment that offers quick and easy straightening in a short amount of time – about six months in case you were wondering. Many people wonder how it can do this without the years that it takes regular orthodontics. It’s because Six Month Smiles focuses on the teeth in the smile line. This system gives you a straight smile and nothing more. Since it only adjusts the front teeth, these clear braces won’t correct any issues with your bite.

ClearCorrect

This clear braces system is still relatively new. It does the job of traditional braces by adjusting your teeth with a series of clear aligners. The trays are swapped out every few weeks so that they move your teeth gradually and discreetly. The aligners are also removable, which makes them more convenient than traditional braces. However, some people have trouble committing to them for this reason, forgetting to put them back in or losing them.

Invisalign – Invisible Braces

Everyone knows about Invisalign. It’s a very similar product to ClearCorrect, but it has been around much longer. Invisalign also uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your smile and adjust your bite. Nearly invisible, many people enjoy this clear braces system because they get to avoid the embarrassment of brackets and wires. At Cosmetic Dentists of Houston, we love Invisalign because they are a trusted service that offers a great experience to our patients.
