Esthetic Braces

If you want straighter teeth but are concerned about how you'll look with braces, consider this - many cosmetically minded celebrities are wearing esthetic braces to improve their smiles quickly without compromising their signature look. In fact, when Tom Cruise graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly in 2002 he was wearing clear braces!

How Do Clear Braces Work?

Clear braces work the same way as metal braces. The only difference is that crystal-clear brackets are used instead of metal ones. They are a great alternative for patients who want a more esthetic alternative to metal braces and are not a candidate for clear aligners, such as Invisalign.

Clear Braces

Clear braces are great because they blend in with the natural color of your teeth. They are made of polycrystaline alumina which is crystal-clear and more comfortable on your lips and cheeks.

These new crystal-clear braces allow Dr.Giannoutsos to offer his patient's all of the advantages of the traditional braces, with enhanced esthetics. They're not only discreet, they're virtually invisible. Some esthetic braces are white or shaded to match a particular tooth color. But since we all have different tooth shades, these braces frequently stand out. Clear braces are the most discreet self-ligating braces available, regardless of tooth color. Plus, they won't stain or discolor over time, so you'll look great throughout your treatment.
