Clear Braces
Clear Braces
Clear braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets to gradually guide teeth into better alignment, offering a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. They can help address crowding, spacing, and bite concerns while blending in more naturally with the smile. At Crystal Clear Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry in Wilmington, Dr. Aesha Chaudhry, an orthodontist and board-certified pediatric dentist, works with children, teens, and adults to plan and monitor clear braces treatment.
How Clear Braces Are Planned
- Digital Intraoral Scanning — A digital scan captures a precise 3D model of the teeth, replacing messy impression trays and supporting accurate treatment planning.
- Digital Dental X-Rays — Low-radiation digital X-rays give Dr. Chaudhry a detailed view of tooth position and root development before and during treatment.
Clear Bracket Options
- Champagne-Colored Braces — soft gold-toned brackets blend more naturally with the teeth while giving the same steady, controlled movement as classic braces.
What to Expect
Treatment with clear braces typically involves regular office visits so Dr. Chaudhry can check progress and make adjustments as needed. Because each patient's smile is different, the exact timeline and approach are discussed and customized during a consultation at the Wilmington office.
