If your child’s dentist has recommended braces, and you’re worried about how the appearance of traditional metal might damage their self-esteem, you’re not alone.
Clear braces offer a more subtle appearance, blending in with their natural teeth while gently guiding them into place.
With clear braces, your child will wear a more confident smile without the psychological and physical discomfort associated with traditional metal braces.
Clear braces blend with the natural tooth color, making them far less noticeable than metal brackets.
Clear braces are strong enough to withstand daily wear and orthodontic treatments.
Clear braces are just as effective for correcting crowding, gaps, and bite problems.
Clear brackets are smoother and cause less irritation than traditional metal brackets.


Invisible braces are advanced orthodontic braces made with clear or tooth-colored ceramic materials that blend naturally with your teeth, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
They function just like regular braces, using brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into alignment—but without the metallic look.
Invisible braces are ideal for patients who want the reliability and control of traditional braces while keeping a more subtle, confident appearance during treatment.
With invisible braces, you get powerful results and a more natural-looking smile throughout the entire process.

Clear braces offer a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Made with transparent or tooth-colored ceramic brackets and wires, they provide an effective way to straighten teeth while keeping your treatment discreet.
Straightening your teeth with clear braces follows a process similar to traditional metal braces.
Ultimately, taking impressions of your teeth for invisible teeth aligners or being fitted for clear braces will come down to the severity of your dental misalignment, how quickly you’d like to be done with treatment, and your overall preference aesthetically.
3M is an invisible braces company that dentists and orthodontists have trusted for years. We use their Clarity Advanced braces line to give our patients the best possible results with clear ceramic brackets.
Clear braces typically have the same treatment time as traditional metal braces, averaging about 18 months.
This depends on your insurance provider and the plan you’ve selected. Our knowledgeable office staff can help you determine if your insurance will cover, or partially cover, your clear bracket braces. In either case, Reuland & Barnhart Orthodontics offers simple and budget-friendly financing.
