Clear Braces

Clear Braces



To blend the brace into the background of the tooth surface, the attachments are made from a clear ceramic material. The brace is camouflaged against the teeth, and can be combined with the latest ‘white’ wires. They are fixed to the tooth surfaces, and cannot be removed. They are the brace of choice for many adults and discerning teenagers when cosmetics become a priority.

As the appliances are less noticeable, you will feel more at ease during the treatment, and feel more inclined to smile as the process proceeds.

Self liigating clear braces are now available at VHO. These braces eliminate the need for elastic ligatures to hold the wire into the brace. They offer several advantages over the conventional clear brace; friction is decreased, allowing faster movement of teeth and shorter treatment time, the attachments are easier to clean and are more hygienic, and finally, there is no risk that there will be staining of ligatures when eating curry, drinking red wine or from caffeine.

Whatever your requirements, VHO have a clear brace to suit your needs and lifestyle.
