The Transparent Path to a Perfect Smile
Discover the elegance of clear braces at SmileOn Orthodontics in Cedar Park. With the expertise of Dr. Pandya, you‘ll get the beautifully straight teeth you've always wanted, blending the power of traditional braces with the discretion of clear materials.
What Are Clear Braces?
Designed for Today's Lifestyle
In a world where first impressions matter, clear braces provide the confidence of knowing that while your teeth are being aligned, the braces themselves remain inconspicuous.
They offer the same structural design as metal braces, with brackets and wires, but their clear or tooth-colored appearance ensures they're less noticeable.
Fusing Function & Style
Clear braces, often referred to as ceramic braces, are a contemporary alternative to traditional metal braces.
Made from translucent ceramic materials, they blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, offering an orthodontic solution that's both effective and discreet.
Strong & Durable
While they might appear delicate, clear braces are robust and durable.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, they're designed to withstand the pressures of daily life while ensuring your orthodontic treatment progresses effectively.

Adjustments

Keep On SmilingOn
The journey to a perfect smile doesn’t end with the removal of your braces. Doc Ak suggests a “nighttime for lifetime” policy when it comes to your retainer wear. You will want to wear your retainers every night while you sleep, ensuring your teeth stay in their new positions, preserving the brilliance of your smile for a lifetime.
Metal Braces vs. Clear Braces
Looks
While metal braces can be more effective, clear braces offer a more discreet alternative, blending seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth.
Comfort & Feel
Clear braces, made of ceramic materials, are designed for comfort, minimizing potential irritation while offering the same effectiveness as metal braces.
Treatment Duration
Both metal and clear braces have similar treatment durations, but with clear braces, you get the added benefit of a less noticeable treatment process.
Are Clear Braces Right for Me?
Making the Right Choice for Your Smile
Ceramic braces are a popular choice, but they aren’t for everyone. Our Patient Care Coordinator and Doc Ak will help you work out the best treatment modality for your needs at your complimentary Smile Assessment. Let’s review a few of the things that make clear braces unique.
Aesthetic Appeal
Clear braces have the obvious advantage of being more discreet than their metal counterparts, making them especially popular among young adults and image-conscious teens.
Treatment Complexity
Clear braces are great for most orthodontic issues, from simple to complex. However, for certain severe cases, traditional metal braces might be recommended.
Maintenance and Care
While clear braces are stain-resistant, they can discolor if not cared for properly. If you're committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and are willing to avoid foods and drinks that might stain the braces, clear braces could be an excellent choice for you.
