Frequently Asked Questions

What are clear braces?

Clear braces are a category of braces that are either made of clear plastic aligners or tooth coloured / clear brackets that fasten to the front surface of teeth. They are designed to straighten your teeth discreetly.

How do clear invisible braces work?

Whether you are using clear aligner trays or clear ceramic brackets, they both gradually move teeth from their existing misaligned positions to their final straight positions. An orthodontist will plan and undertake your treatment.

Are clear braces the same as Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are a form of clear braces. Other types of clear braces also exist – such as ceramic braces.

Do clear invisible braces hurt?

Treatment usually causes mild discomfort as the braces apply gentle pressure to move your teeth. The discomfort subsides gradually and is very much manageable.

How long does treatment with clear braces take?

Treatment can take anywhere between 6–18 months typically. Mild cases take less time, complex cases take longer.

Can adults get clear braces?

Adult patients are our biggest patient base for discreet clear invisible braces.

Are clear braces more expensive than metal braces?

The short answer is yes. Clear invisible braces are typically more costly than metal braces under like for like circumstances. This is due to the special nature of the tooth-coloured brackets and wires used by clear brace systems. The exact cost difference depends on the duration of the treatment and on the brand of clear invisible braces you decide to use. Invisible braces can be about 30-40% more expensive than metal braces typically. You can get a more accurate cost once we have had a chance to assess your orthodontic needs but we do offer a braces cost comparison and finance options.

Clear ceramic braces or metal braces – what should I get?

Clear invisible braces and metal braces both have the same essential components. Both brace systems employ brackets that attach to the teeth, an orthodontic wire that fits into the brackets and elastic to maintain pressure on the teeth. The main differences is of course that clear braces use tooth coloured brackets, wire and bands making the brace system a lot more discreet than traditional metal braces. This is a significant advantage for patients wanting to straighten their teeth in a discreet manner. The second difference between clear invisible braces and metal braces is the cost. Clear braces tend to be more expensive compared to metal braces due to the special clear brackets and wire that are used. If you are debating whether to go for clear ceramic braces vs. metal braces, a consultation with one of our dentists may help answer your questions in more detail. It is important to remember that irrespective of which brace system you use, you need to have healthy teeth and gums to undertake treatment.

Do you offer a free consultation for clear braces?

Yes → we offer a free consultation with our braces team who are available to answer most of your questions regarding treatment. Call us to book a free consultation.

Is financing available for clear braces?

Yes, we offer 0% payment plans. You could spread your cost of treatment over 12-60 months.
