As the name suggests, the difference between clear braces and traditional braces is that clear braces use transparent or tooth-colored brackets and wires to avoid the unsightly look of traditional metal wire braces.

Clear braces offer a practical solution for people who want to get treatment for misaligned teeth but are too self-conscious about using traditional metal braces. Teenagers are particularly sensitive to the effect of metal braces on their appearance.

In some cases, braces are assembled on the inside of the teeth, creating a perfect solution for people who want at all costs to avoid wearing visible braces. These are known as lingual braces. Lingual braces cost more than other types of braces, but for some the price difference is worth the benefit.
