Birmingham & Milford Clear Braces

A Discreet Path to a Straighter Smile

At Degenhardt Orthodontics, we offer clear braces as a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from comfortable, tooth-colored ceramic, these brackets blend in with your smile while delivering the same reliable results.

Braces That Blend In

Clear braces work just like metal braces but with a more subtle appearance. Using ceramic brackets, they shift your teeth into place while being less noticeable than traditional options.

Just like metal braces, they’re strong, predictable, and since they’re fixed in place, they give Dr. Stephen Degenhardt a level of control that’ll have you smiling at the results!

They’re a great choice for teens and adults who want the strength of braces without drawing attention to their treatment. With ceramic braces, you can feel confident throughout your smile journey.

Clear Braces vs. Metal Braces

Who They’re Best For

If you want a low-profile treatment that doesn’t sacrifice effectiveness, clear braces are a great fit. They’re especially popular with older teens and adults looking for a more discreet way to straighten their teeth.

Strength & Durability

Both options are strong, but metal braces are slightly more durable. Clear braces are a great alternative for patients who want a balance of strength and aesthetics.

Aesthetic Appeal

Ceramic braces are designed to blend in with your teeth, while metal braces stand out more due to their stainless steel brackets.

Brushing & Flossing With Braces

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around your brackets and wires. A floss threader or water flosser can help remove plaque in hard-to-reach places.

Foods to Avoid

Sticky, hard, and chewy foods can damage ceramic brackets. Avoid caramel, popcorn, and crunchy snacks to keep your braces intact.

Regular Check-Ins

Visit us every four to eight weeks so we can track your progress and make adjustments as needed. Keeping up with your appointments helps your treatment stay on schedule.
