Clear Braces Q & A

What are clear braces?

Clear braces straighten teeth using transparent aligners. Traditionally, dental patients had to withstand months or even years with bulky metal braces to shift their teeth into proper alignment.

Dr. Patel uses clear braces to gradually shift your teeth into an ideal position, correcting crooked teeth and enhancing your smile for years to come.

What kinds of clear braces are offered?

Dr. Patel offers three types of clear braces that straighten teeth faster than traditional braces:

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a cutting edge brand of clear and tooth-colored braces for patients 16 years of age and older. As the name indicates, you can straighten your teeth in just six months on average. Throughout treatment, you only need 3-7 minor adjustments on your brackets.

Sure Smiles

Sure Smiles is a treatment system for patients who require minor teeth movement. It uses clear, removable aligners, which you can take out while you eat and brush your teeth. On average, since the treatment is used for minor shifting of teeth, optimal results occur in 3-6 months.

What are the benefits of clear braces?

The chief benefit of clear braces is that you can smile with confidence while you wear them. With traditional metal braces that aren’t clear, you may feel self conscious about your appearance for the duration of treatment. Clear braces allow you to fix your teeth without sacrificing much of anything.

Also, the options that Dr. Patel provides —Six Month Smiles, MTM Clear-Aligner, and Dandy Clear-Aligner are innovative and deliver results faster than traditional braces. That means less time with metal in your mouth, less time in the office, and less money spent on dental care.
