We’re all about facial aesthetics at Todorthodontics, which is why even our traditional treatment comes with an aesthetically pleasing finish. Our clear braces make a wonderful discreet alternative to metal braces.

What are clear braces?

Clear braces look just like traditional metal braces, except that the brackets are made out of clear ceramic material instead of metal. This helps your treatment blend in with the natural color of your smile.

The brackets of clear braces are small, durable, and stain-resistant, so they will maintain their discretion throughout the duration of your treatment.

How do clear braces work?

Clear braces work using a series of brackets, metal archwires, and small elastic bands. We will affix a bracket to each of your teeth, thread the archwires through them, and hold everything together with the elastics.

To progress through your treatment, you’ll come in for regular adjustment appointments. Dr. Todor will make small bends in your archwires to create gentle but targeted pressure that will guide your teeth into the proper alignment.

Treatment that’s faster than ever

With just five minutes of your time a day, you can cut your orthodontic treatment time in half. How? With the Vpro5! This hands-free device uses high-frequency vibrations to encourage faster tooth movement.

And, you can show us your swift progress through the Dental Monitoring app! Just send us weekly photos of your smile, and we’ll let you know if you need to come in for an adjustment appointment or not. You can also contact us through the app any time you have questions.

What are the benefits of clear braces?

Our patients enjoy clear braces because they are:

Discreet: The ceramic material makes your braces much less noticeable during treatment.
Stain-resistant: Your brackets will maintain their discreet look all throughout your treatment.
Effective: We can use clear braces to treat even the most complicated orthodontic issues.
