Clear Bracket System

clear bracket system Clear braces, an aesthetic choice that won't compromise your treatment.

This is a great choice for adults and older teens concerned by the appearance of standard metal brackets. Crystal sapphire brackets are translucent on the teeth, the only visible signs of treatment are the wires.

Sapphire brackets are slightly larger than the metal bracket. They also may extend the time of treatment due a high wire-to-bracket friction factor. They are also not recommended for younger patients because they are more fragile than metal brackets.
