White braces, also known as clear ceramic braces, are an aesthetic option for those seeking a more discreet orthodontic treatment.
Unlike traditional metal braces, white braces blend with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable.
The brackets are made from clear or tooth-colored materials, offering a cleaner, more subtle appearance.
Pros of White Braces:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Less visible than metal braces, great for adults and teens.
- Effective: Work just as well as traditional braces for aligning teeth.
Considerations:
- Staining: White braces can stain if not properly cared for, especially when exposed to dark foods and drinks like coffee or red wine.
