Clear braces are the most popular choice of visible fixed braces for adult patients, and North Sydney Orthodontics takes pride in giving adults a wide choice of top performing treatment options. We strongly suggest to combine clear braces with Suresmile high technology wires for the fastest and most precise treatment. With these great technologies we expect treatment time to the highest standard within 9 to 12 months in most cases- also have a look at our strategies to speed up treatment.
We use the highest quality and best designed ceramic brackets. Clear brackets are made by many different brands and there are standard and self- ligating versions of these brackets. This one is a standard bracket using clear silicone elastics to hold the wire in place.
- Clear braces are less suited to lower teeth when there is a deep bite because ceramic is an abrasive material for the opposite teeth to bite on
- Clear braces are less suited to lower teeth because they are brittle and chewing forces on the wire can break the lower half of the brackets if hard food is consumed
