Clear Braces from Portobello Dental

One of the biggest problems with braces is the noticeable brackets and wires that are fixed to the front teeth, which can make some adults and children self-conscious about their smile. On top of that, some patients experience difficulty with speech, cleaning and maintenance.

Invisalign clear braces offer a much easier and less noticeable way of adjusting your smile. These braces are made from a clear moulded plastic specially designed to gently move your teeth into better position while being almost invisible while worn. They can even be attached and removed whenever needed, and are easy to clean by simply running under the tap and brushing.

The Clear braces take about the same time as regular braces to work. However, multiple visits to the orthodontist are required as you’ll need a number of different clear braces moulds as the treatment progresses. This process can take anywhere from 6 months to a year depending on your specific circumstances.

One of the most remarkable features of the clear braces is that they’re practically impossible to spot when being worn. The clear plastic is as good as invisible unless pointed out and viewed extremely close-up. In fact, many of our patients have said how difficult they are to spot when worn!

It depends entirely on your circumstances. While Clear Braces are capable of fixing many misaligned teeth, depending on your personal circumstance an alternative type of brace might be more effective for you. We’ll discuss this when you visit us for your initial consultation.
