Clear braces

Orthodontics used to be known for their metal braces that anyone could see when you smiled. Technology and materials have improved to the point where we can say goodbye to the metal and welcome to tooth-colored braces. They are made of ceramic which is similar to tooth-colored crowns. Ceramic braces can be used in nearly all the same cases as metal braces and are much less likely to draw any attention.
