Are you looking for a way to straighten your teeth without the visibility of traditional metal braces? Ceramic Braces, often referred to as Clear Braces, Tooth-Colored Braces, or Aesthetic Braces, are an excellent solution for those who want to enhance their smile discreetly while still achieving remarkable results.
While they function like traditional braces, ceramic braces are made of a ceramic material and are designed to be less noticeable on your teeth than metal braces. When paired with clear, white, or tooth-colored wires, ceramic braces are a way to straighten your teeth in a less noticeable fashion than traditional braces. In Nashville, TN, many patients are choosing clear braces for their effectiveness, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
Clear braces function similarly to traditional braces. They consist of brackets that are adhered to your teeth, connected by a wire that gradually applies gentle pressure to shift your teeth into alignment. Over time, the braces will move your teeth into their ideal position. We recommend regular visits to your Nashville orthodontist for adjustments.
Traditional adult braces are constructed to correct the alignment of your teeth using a framework of metal straightening wires and brackets. While braces certainly have cosmetic benefits, they also benefit you by making it easier to care for your teeth. Crooked and misaligned teeth are frequently more difficult to brush and floss effectively. By straightening your teeth, braces make it much easier to maintain oral hygiene.

Most issues that involve braces or some other orthodontic device will not be so serious that they qualify as an emergency. At Volunteer Orthodontics, we care about your health and want you to call us immediately if you experience an injury involving your braces or orthodontic appliance.
After you have completed your orthodontic treatment and your teeth are properly aligned, our orthodontist will provide you with a retainer.
