Clear Ceramic Braces
Cordoba Orthodontics offers clear ceramic braces for patients who want the strength and precision of traditional braces — but with a more discreet, aesthetic look. These advanced braces use tooth-colored or translucent brackets that blend naturally with your smile, making them an excellent option for image-conscious teens and adults.
What Are Clear Ceramic Braces?
Clear ceramic braces work just like metal braces, but their brackets are made from durable, translucent ceramic material that’s designed to blend in with your natural tooth color. They’re ideal for patients who want effective treatment with less visibility than metal braces.
At Cordoba Orthodontics, Dr. Cordoba uses the latest low-profile ceramic systems that are smooth, comfortable, and resistant to staining. You’ll enjoy a cleaner, more polished look throughout your treatment — without compromising results.
Benefits of Clear Ceramic Braces
- Discreet appearance: Brackets blend with your natural tooth color.
- High performance: Just as effective as metal braces for most cases.
- Comfortable and smooth: Rounded edges minimize irritation.
- Confidence at every stage: Perfect for work, school, or social settings.
Clear ceramic braces are especially popular among professionals and older teens who want orthodontic correction without the look of metal brackets.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Clear braces are a great choice for patients who:
- Have mild to moderate alignment or spacing issues
- Want a less visible option than metal braces
- Can maintain excellent oral hygiene
- Prefer fixed treatment over removable aligners
During your free consultation, Dr. Cordoba will determine if clear ceramic braces are the best option for your smile and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Ceramic Braces

Modern ceramic brackets are stain-resistant, but clear elastic ties can discolor slightly between visits. At Cordoba Orthodontics, we replace ties regularly to keep your braces looking clean and clear.
Are clear braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes. For most cases, ceramic braces are just as effective as metal ones. They use the same mechanics to move teeth into alignment — just with a more discreet appearance.
Do clear braces take longer to work?
Treatment time is usually the same as metal braces, though very complex cases may take slightly longer. Dr. Cordoba will give you an accurate estimate during your consultation.
Do clear braces cost more?
Clear ceramic braces can be slightly more expensive due to the advanced materials used. However, many patients find the added comfort and aesthetic benefits well worth the investment. We also offer flexible, interest-free payment plans.
Can teens get clear braces?
Absolutely! Clear braces are very popular among older teens who want a less noticeable option for school or social activities. They’re strong, comfortable, and deliver excellent results.
