Providing Clarity
When it comes to choosing an orthodontist and the right treatment option for you, there can seem like a lot of options to choose from. If you’re looking for a treatment option that’s discreet and blends with your natural smile, you’ve probably researched both clear braces and clear aligners. While both are trusted treatment options, we choose to offer clear braces thanks to their effectiveness and reliability in enhancing smiles. Our team at Castilla Orthodontics can help you assess your options so you can choose the best treatment method for you.
The Basics of Clear Braces vs Clear Aligners
We do not offer clear aligners at Castilla Orthodontics, but it’s important to understand the difference between braces and aligners as more discreet treatment options.
Clear Braces
Clear braces function similarly to metal braces but stand out due to their less noticeable appearance. They utilize ceramic brackets that blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them an attractive option for both adults and teens who are conscious of the visibility of their orthodontic treatment.
Just like their metal counterparts, clear braces are fixed onto the teeth. They use wires and brackets to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Adjustments are made periodically by your orthodontist to ensure continuous and effective movement of your teeth throughout your treatment.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are another virtually invisible option using trays made of smooth, clear plastic worn over the teeth. They offer a discreet way to correct minor misalignments and spacing inconsistencies. Each set of custom-made aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. This process gradually shifts your teeth into their correct positions.
Clear Braces: More Effective & Affordable
We prefer clear braces, which provide you with an effective, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing orthodontic solution to achieve the smile of your dreams.
Why We Choose to Offer Clear Braces
At Castilla Orthodontics, we believe in providing our patients with effective, aesthetically pleasing treatment options that do not compromise the quality of results. After careful consideration, we choose to offer clear braces for several reasons:
- Versatile and Effective — Clear braces are suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including those that may not be ideally addressed by clear aligners. Plus, we can even get your braces put on same-day!
- Controlled Treatment — With clear braces, Dr. Castilla has more control over tooth movement, allowing for precise and predictable outcomes.
- Aesthetic Appeal — We understand the importance of discretion during orthodontic treatment. Clear braces offer a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces, aligning with our commitment to providing treatments that blend seamlessly with your lifestyle.
- Affordable — Without the lab fees typically associated with clear aligner treatment, we keep treatment with clear braces affordable.
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment is a significant decision. We are dedicated to guiding you through this process, ensuring you receive the best care tailored to your individual needs. Whether it’s clear braces or exploring other braces options, our team is here to support you every step of the way toward achieving a beautiful, healthy smile.
