Clear Braces for a More Discreet Smile
Want straighter teeth without the look of traditional metal braces? At Shirck Orthodontics, our orthodontists and team offer clear and ceramic braces for teens and adults who want effective orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Clear braces work like traditional braces, but they use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in more naturally with your smile. Call 614-855-9110 today to schedule your consultation and find out if clear braces are right for you.
What Are Clear Braces?
Clear braces, also called ceramic braces, are designed to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment while being less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They use brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into better positions over time.
Because the brackets are clear or tooth-colored, many patients choose ceramic braces when they want the reliability of braces with a more subtle look.
Clear Braces vs. Traditional Braces
Clear braces and traditional braces work in similar ways. Both can help correct crowding, spacing, bite concerns and other orthodontic issues.
The biggest difference is appearance. Traditional braces use metal brackets, while clear braces use ceramic brackets that are designed to blend in with your teeth. During your consultation, our orthodontists will help you compare your options and decide which treatment best fits your smile, goals and lifestyle.
Clear Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Clear braces may be a better fit than clear aligners for patients who need more controlled tooth movement or who may not want to worry about removing and wearing aligners consistently throughout the day.
Clear aligners can be a great option for many patients, but braces remain attached to the teeth and work continuously. Our team will evaluate your smile and explain whether clear braces, traditional braces or clear aligners are the strongest option for your needs.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear or Ceramic Braces?
Clear braces may be a good option for teens or adults who want a less noticeable orthodontic treatment but still need the structure and control braces can provide. They may be recommended for patients with alignment concerns, bite issues, crowding, spacing or teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment.
Our orthodontists will evaluate your smile, bite and treatment goals before recommending the option that best supports your long-term results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Once your clear braces are placed, you will visit our office periodically so Dr. Jeff Shirck, Dr. Soo, Dr. Betina Grehs and our team can check your progress and make adjustments. These visits help keep your treatment moving as planned and give you time to ask questions along the way.
We will also show you how to care for your braces, keep your teeth clean and protect your smile during treatment.

Do clear braces work as well as metal braces?
Clear braces can be very effective for many orthodontic concerns. They work similarly to traditional braces, but the brackets are designed to look more discreet. Our orthodontists will help you decide whether clear braces are right for your smile.
Are clear braces noticeable?
Clear braces are less noticeable than traditional metal braces because the brackets blend in more naturally with your teeth. They are not invisible, but they provide a more subtle appearance.
Are clear braces better than clear aligners?
