Clear Braces in Sharon, MA
Align teeth with tooth colored ceramic brackets that provide reliable results with a more natural appearance.
What are Clear Braces?
Clear braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses ceramic or tooth colored brackets to straighten teeth while maintaining a more natural appearance than traditional metal braces. These brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected by wires that are periodically adjusted to guide teeth into proper alignment. Clear braces function in the same way as metal braces and are effective in correcting crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment concerns.
Because the brackets are designed to blend in with the natural color of the teeth, clear braces are often chosen by teens and adults who want a less noticeable orthodontic option without sacrificing effectiveness. They remain fixed in place throughout treatment, which means they work continuously and do not rely on patient compliance in the same way removable aligners do.
Benefits of Clear Braces
Learn the benefits of clear braces and how they combine effective tooth movement with a more natural appearance.
Enhanced Smile Aesthetics
Tooth colored ceramic brackets blend more seamlessly with your smile compared to traditional metal braces.
Controlled Tooth Movement
Clear braces apply steady pressure to guide teeth into proper alignment with precision.
Comprehensive Alignment
This treatment can correct crowding, spacing, and bite concerns while maintaining a more aesthetic look.
Who Needs Clear Braces?
Clear braces are often recommended for teens and adults who need comprehensive orthodontic correction but prefer a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. They are well suited for patients with moderate to severe crowding, spacing, or bite misalignment who may not be ideal candidates for removable aligners. Because clear braces are fixed in place, they are especially beneficial for individuals who want consistent tooth movement without the responsibility of wearing and removing aligners throughout the day.
This option provides the strength and control of traditional braces while offering a more subtle appearance for patients who are conscious about visible metal brackets during treatment.

Technology Used in Clear Braces
Clear braces use durable ceramic bracket systems engineered to provide effective orthodontic correction with a more discreet appearance. These tooth colored brackets are designed using advanced materials that balance strength and aesthetics while maintaining precise control over tooth movement. Modern archwire technology works in combination with ceramic brackets to apply steady and controlled pressure, guiding teeth into proper alignment over time.
The integration of refined orthodontic materials and improved bracket design allows clear braces to deliver predictable results while blending more naturally with the patient’s smile. This combination of ceramic bracket innovation and precise orthodontic mechanics allows clear braces to deliver effective alignment while maintaining a more natural appearance throughout treatment.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During your visit for clear braces at Sharon Orthodontics, Dr. Sahar Mostafavi will assess your alignment and bite using digital imaging and diagnostic records. If treatment is initiated, ceramic brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected with an archwire that delivers steady, controlled force.
Dr. Mostafavi carefully positions each bracket to ensure accurate tooth movement and makes precise adjustments during follow up visits to keep treatment progressing efficiently. She will also ensure the brackets are positioned for optimal control and aesthetics, supporting both effective alignment and a more natural appearance throughout treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do clear braces take to straighten teeth?
The length of treatment with clear braces depends on the severity of the alignment and bite issues being corrected. Mild cases may take about 12 months, while more complex orthodontic corrections may require 18 to 24 months. Consistent adjustment appointments help ensure steady and predictable progress.
Do clear braces stain over time?
The ceramic brackets used in clear braces are designed to resist staining. However, elastic ties that connect the wire to the brackets may discolor between visits, especially with exposure to foods or drinks like coffee, tea, or curry. Regular adjustments help maintain a clean and natural appearance.
Are clear braces as strong as metal braces?
Clear braces are highly effective for treating many orthodontic concerns. While ceramic brackets are slightly more delicate than stainless steel brackets, they are engineered to provide reliable and controlled tooth movement for most cases.
Do clear braces feel different from metal braces?
Clear braces function similarly to metal braces and create similar pressure as teeth shift. Some patients may notice that ceramic brackets are slightly larger, but overall comfort levels are comparable. Mild soreness after adjustments is common and temporary.
Are clear braces suitable for moderate to severe misalignment?
Clear braces can effectively treat moderate to severe alignment issues by using ceramic brackets and archwires to gradually reposition teeth. Since they are fixed appliances, they allow for detailed control over tooth movement, making them a reliable option for patients who need comprehensive orthodontic correction with a more discreet appearance.
