How Clear Braces Work
Like traditional braces, clear braces use a system of brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. The difference lies in the materials – the brackets are made from transparent or tooth-colored ceramic, making them much less noticeable than metal braces.

Clear Braces FAQ
Are clear braces more expensive than metal braces?
At Ovation Orthodontics, clear braces are the same price as traditional metal braces. During your consultation, we’ll discuss all treatment costs and payment options to help you make an informed decision. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible for every budget.
Do clear braces take longer than metal braces?
Treatment time with clear braces is comparable to metal braces. The average treatment typically ranges from 18-24 months, depending on your specific orthodontic needs. Your exact treatment timeline will be outlined during your consultation based on your individual case.
Do clear braces stain easily?
The ceramic brackets used in clear braces are designed to be stain-resistant. However, the clear elastic ties that hold the wire to the brackets can potentially discolor between appointments. Following our care instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene helps prevent staining. Plus, we change these ties at every adjustment appointment, typically every 8-10 weeks.
Are clear braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes! Clear braces are just as effective as traditional metal braces for most orthodontic cases. They use the same mechanics as metal braces but with more aesthetic materials. While there might be some very complex cases where metal braces are recommended, clear braces can successfully treat the majority of orthodontic issues.
