Modern orthodontics have created many options for individuals who want to improve their smiles yet clearly aren't thrilled with the look of traditional metal braces. Now, there are many options available, including a few varieties of clear braces that make a person's appliance much less visible than in the past.
Perhaps one of the most popular options is Invisalign, a series of treatments that uses aligners to straighten the teeth gently, without permanent braces. The Invisalign braces are generally recommended for patients with minor alignment issues, as they aren't capable of applying the same degree of pressure as brackets.
Ceramic brackets are a less-expensive form of clear braces. These clear braces are similar to metal, except that the metal brackets are replaced with clear ceramic. This is an ideal compromise for many patients and orthodontists, as it gives patients the aesthetically pleasing look of clear braces while having the strength to fix more severe tooth-alignment issues.
Atlanta patients who want to see whether they are candidates for clear braces should contact a local orthodontist for a consultation.
