If you’re looking for an effective way to straighten your teeth without compromising on appearance, aesthetic braces might be the ideal choice. At The Wireworks, we offer various aesthetic braces options designed to blend seamlessly with your teeth while delivering the same powerful results as traditional braces. Available at our Toronto – Yorkdale and Barrie – Downtown locations, our aesthetic braces give you a path to a straighter smile without the metallic look.
What Are Aesthetic Braces?
Aesthetic braces are orthodontic devices designed to correct misalignments and bites while offering a more discreet appearance than traditional metal braces. Using clear or tooth-colored materials, aesthetic braces are less visible, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and confident during their treatment. These braces are a popular choice among teens and adults who want effective alignment correction with a subtle look.
Types of Aesthetic Braces We Offer at The Wireworks
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Made from tooth-colored ceramic material, these braces blend with your natural teeth, making them much less noticeable than metal braces.
- Clear Braces: These braces use clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to achieve a near-invisible look, providing a high level of discretion while still effectively correcting alignment issues.
- Lingual Braces: These braces are placed on the back of your teeth, completely hidden from view when you smile. Lingual braces offer the ultimate discretion, making them a top choice for those who want an entirely invisible solution.
Why Choose Aesthetic Braces?
Aesthetic braces provide all the effectiveness of traditional braces with added cosmetic benefits. Here’s why many of our patients opt for aesthetic braces:
- Low-Profile Appearance: Blends naturally with your teeth, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
- Customizable Options: Different types of aesthetic braces, including ceramic and lingual options, offer flexibility to match your preferences and lifestyle.
- Effective for Various Cases: Aesthetic braces are suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild misalignments to complex bite corrections.
What to Expect During Treatment with Aesthetic Braces
Getting started with aesthetic braces at The Wireworks is a simple and straightforward process:
- Consultation: We’ll assess your dental needs, discuss your aesthetic braces options, and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve your goals.
- Placement: Our orthodontist will carefully bond the aesthetic braces to your teeth. For ceramic or clear braces, brackets are placed on the front of your teeth, while lingual braces are attached to the back.
- Adjustments: Every 4-6 weeks, you’ll come in for adjustments to keep the treatment progressing smoothly. These adjustments help guide your teeth into their desired positions.
- Completion and Retainers: After treatment, we’ll remove the braces and provide a retainer to maintain your beautiful new smile.
Caring for Aesthetic Braces
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and effectiveness of aesthetic braces. Here are some tips for keeping your braces in top condition:
- Brush After Every Meal: Clear and ceramic braces can stain, so brushing after meals is important to prevent discoloration.
- Avoid Foods That Stain: Limit coffee, tea, and certain sauces, as these can discolor clear brackets and wires.
- Regular Flossing: Use orthodontic floss threaders or water flossers to clean around the brackets and between your teeth.
- Attend Routine Adjustments: Consistent check-ups ensure your treatment stays on track and your braces remain in good condition.
