Clear braces are an orthodontic method that is used to straighten the teeth. Clear braces are less visible and considerably more unnoticed than metal braces. Adults and teenagers can use clear braces if they want to improve their esthetic appearance during orthodontic treatment. Clear braces function in the same way that typical metal braces do. However, they are made of ceramic brackets and frosted wires to match the color of the actual teeth. As a result, clear braces are less visible than metal braces. Metal braces are stronger than clear braces.
