What Are Clear Braces?

Modern Orthodontic Solution

Clear braces function just like traditional metal braces but use transparent or tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your smile. These braces consist of clear ceramic brackets attached to your teeth and connected by thin archwires that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.

Unlike clear aligners such as Invisalign, clear braces remain fixed to your teeth throughout treatment. They provide the precision and control of traditional braces while offering a more discreet appearance, making them popular among Markham teens and adults who want effective orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to their braces.

At Oasis Orthodontics in Markham, we proudly offer clear braces to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile—comfortably and discreetly.

The Clear Braces Process at Oasis Orthodontics in Markham

Your Journey to a Confident Smile

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Sharma. She'll assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain how clear braces can address your specific orthodontic needs.

Treatment Planning

Dr. Sharma creates a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique dental structure. She'll explain the expected timeline and results, answering any questions you may have.

Braces Placement

The clear brackets are precisely bonded to your teeth using special orthodontic adhesive. Then an archwire is placed through the brackets to begin guiding your teeth into position.

Regular Adjustments

You'll visit our Markham office approximately every 4-6 weeks for adjustments. During these visits, Dr. Sharma personally checks your progress and makes necessary modifications to continue your tooth movement.

Completion and Retention

Once your teeth reach their ideal positions, your clear braces are removed. Dr. Sharma will provide retainers to maintain your new smile for years to come.

Common Issues Treated with Clear Braces in Markham

Clear braces effectively correct a wide range of orthodontic problems:

Crowded Teeth

When teeth are overcrowded, they can overlap or twist, making it difficult to achieve a properly aligned smile. Clear braces can help by gently shifting the teeth into their correct positions. They apply gradual pressure to create the necessary space, allowing for better alignment and a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gaps between teeth can affect both the appearance and function of your bite. Clear braces work by gradually moving the teeth closer together to close these unwanted spaces. This not only improves the look of your smile but also helps enhance your bite's functionality by ensuring better alignment.

Overbites

An overbite occurs when the upper teeth extend too far forward over the lower teeth, leading to discomfort and uneven wear. Clear braces can correct this by gradually shifting the upper teeth back and the lower teeth forward, restoring a more natural bite and reducing strain on your jaw.

Underbites

In an underbite, the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, which can lead to jaw strain and difficulty in chewing. Clear braces help by repositioning the lower teeth back and aligning the upper teeth forward, creating a more balanced bite and alleviating discomfort.

Crossbites

A crossbite happens when the upper and lower jaws are misaligned, causing uneven wear on the teeth and jaw pain. Clear braces work to realign the upper and lower teeth, ensuring a proper bite and preventing long-term issues like jaw pain or uneven tooth wear.

Open Bites

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, which can lead to difficulty biting and speaking. Clear braces help close these gaps by gradually shifting the teeth to meet properly, improving both the function of your bite and the overall appearance of your smile.

Caring for Your Clear Braces

Simple Daily Tips

Maintaining your Ceramic braces properly helps ensure they remain as discreet as possible throughout treatment. Brush carefully around brackets and under wires after every meal to prevent staining and decay. While you can eat most foods, very sticky or hard items should be avoided to prevent bracket damage. Wear a mouthguard during sports to protect both your braces and teeth from impact. Continue seeing your regular dentist for cleanings and check-ups during orthodontic treatment, as professional cleanings help maintain both the appearance of your clear braces and the health of your teeth during the straightening process.

Clear Braces for Different Age Groups

Many Markham teenagers prefer clear braces for their discreet appearance during these socially important years. The ceramic brackets offer effective treatment without the noticeable look of metal braces, helping maintain confidence during school, sports, and social activities.

Professional adults throughout Markham appreciate clear braces for their subtle appearance in workplace settings. They provide effective treatment for those who need comprehensive orthodontic correction while maintaining a professional appearance.

Frequently Asked Question

About Clear Braces in Markham

Do clear braces take longer than metal braces?
Treatment time with clear braces is comparable to metal braces for most cases. Both use the same bracket-and-archwire mechanics to move teeth, so the duration depends on the complexity of your orthodontic issues, not the type of brackets. Dr. Sharma-Fung will give you an estimated treatment timeline at your initial consultation after a full clinical assessment.
Are clear braces more expensive?
Clear ceramic braces typically cost somewhat more than traditional metal braces due to the cost of the ceramic bracket materials. The difference varies by case. At Oasis Orthodontics, we offer interest-free payment plans and flexible financing to make specialist treatment accessible. Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to clear braces. Bring your insurance information to your consultation and our team will help you understand your coverage and total out-of-pocket cost.
Will clear braces stain?
The ceramic brackets themselves are highly resistant to staining. The clear elastic ties used with the brackets can discolour slightly between adjustments if you regularly consume coffee, tea, tomato sauce, or berries. Rinsing your mouth promptly after consuming these helps reduce discolouration. The ties are replaced at each adjustment appointment, so any discolouration is temporary. Dr. Sharma-Fung will review care and diet guidance with you when your braces are placed.
Are clear braces painful?
Most patients experience some soreness for a few days after initial placement and after each adjustment appointment. This is normal and indicates your teeth are responding to the gentle pressure applied by the braces. The discomfort is usually mild and resolves on its own within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods during the first day or two after adjustments can help. Clear ceramic brackets have smooth edges and are generally well-tolerated by patients of all ages.
Can adults get clear braces?
Yes. Clear braces are a popular choice among adult patients in Markham who want a less visible fixed appliance. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment, and many adults achieve excellent results. Adults who prefer the predictability of a fixed appliance over a removable aligner, or whose case complexity makes a fixed option more appropriate, are often well-suited to clear braces. Dr. Sharma-Fung will assess your specific situation at your consultation and recommend the treatment option that best fits your goals.
