Having braces doesn’t necessarily require highly noticeable metal brackets and wires. In fact, many of today’s braces are made from either clear or natural tooth-colored materials to provide patients with an attractive, less noticeable alternative to traditional braces. R3 Dental Group offers clear braces to its patients in Silver Spring, Germantown, Bethesda, and the neighboring areas of Maryland.
What Is The Difference Between Clear Braces And Clear Aligners?
Clear braces are the same as traditional metal braces except that they are clear! Clear braces are a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces and provide patients with an equally effective treatment.
Clear aligners are different. They are pieces of hard plastic that are designed to fit into your mouth like a mouth guard. Clear aligners are great for patients requiring minor orthodontic treatment.
