Here at Quad City Orthodontics, we are proud to offer clear braces for our patients.

Many people don’t want to get the orthodontic treatment that they need because they don’t want to wear metal braces. However, you can still get the smile you deserve with the new alternatives that are available.

We offer clear braces, which are much less noticeable than metal braces but still give patients the smile they deserve.

Clear aligners are not the same as clear braces. Clear aligners are plastic trays that you wear like you would wear a mouthguard. Clear braces are like metal braces, but they are almost invisible.

Clear braces have many advantages. They are almost invisible, giving patients who do not want traditional braces another alternative.

They also help improve patients’ confidence. They can still get the care they deserve without worrying about what people are saying about their teeth.

Despite all of the advantages, there are some disadvantages too.  They can also become discolored by tea, coffee, wine, and other foods. Smoking can also cause discoloration. Treatment with clear braces can also take a little longer than treatment with metal ones. However, if you are dedicated to getting the smile you deserve, you will find investing time into your smile well worth it.

After a thorough examination with X-rays, we will be happy to discuss your many options for improving your smile. We will go over the advantages and disadvantages of each so that we can determine the right course of treatment.

If you have any questions about clear braces, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (563) 332-5671 (Bettendorf) or (309) 786-7782 (Rock Island).
