Orthodontic technology has come a long way and our Hallandale Beach clear braces have the right combination of moving teeth and almost invisible. These high tech devices solve the main problem that many patients have with braces: how hard is it to see the metal brackets and wires. At Rozman Orthodontics we know that looking natural during treatment can have a big impact on how confident and compliant a patient is with their treatment.

Clear braces use high tech ceramic and composite materials that are made to look like the natural translucency and color changes in tooth enamel. These advanced brackets fit perfectly with the unique features of each tooth, not like basic white or transparent materials that look fake. The production process includes exact color matching and optical qualities that make the devices almost undetectable from a distance for talking.


Clear braces work the same way as regular metal braces so they are just as effective. Archwires apply controlled forces to teeth over time, guiding them into place while keeping the look that patients want. Treatment time is usually the same as regular braces, 18 months to 3 years depending on the complexity of the case and how well the patient follows instructions.

There are many professional and social benefits to clear braces that go beyond how they look. Business leaders, teachers, doctors and other prominent people use these tools to keep their credibility and confidence during key meetings or presentations. Teenagers and young adults also choose clear options so they don’t feel self conscious during social events and activities.

Compared to older ceramic braces, new materials have made clear braces much more durable and stain resistant. When patients follow the recommended care steps, modern formulations don’t change color when they drink coffee, tea or other typical drinks. But good oral hygiene is still important to keep the invisible look during treatment.

The smooth rounded edges of the bracket design reduce discomfort to soft tissue that is usually caused by orthodontic appliances. Patients adjust more quickly and feel less pain than with regular metal brackets. The biocompatible materials also lower the chance of allergic reactions that some people have with metal parts.

When it comes to the cost of clear braces, they are usually only a little more expensive than metal braces because they use more advanced materials and require more precise manufacturing. Most patients feel it’s worth it since they look better and feel more confident. Many dental insurance plans cover both clear and traditional braces the same way.

To keep their clear look, those who wear clear braces need to keep up with their oral hygiene and make changes to their diet. We give you step by step instructions on how to clean your teeth so plaque doesn’t build up around your brackets and your gums stay healthy. When you’re in orthodontic treatment, regular professional cleanings are a must.

When you play sports, you need to think about how to protect your orthodontic appliances and clear braces are no different. Custom mouthguards made just for orthodontic patients keep them safe during contact sports while still allowing their treatment to continue. These safety devices can be made to work with see through equipment.

Our Hallandale Beach office has a lot of experience with clear braces for patients of all ages and with all kinds of problems. We take into account each patient’s individual needs, lifestyle and aesthetic goals to determine the best way to treat them. Some cases may benefit from smart combinations of clear and traditional brackets to improve both function and look.

Clear braces follow the same rules as standard systems for monitoring treatment. Adjustments are made every 4-6 weeks. These appointments allow us to check on progress, change parts as needed and address any patient concerns. Since the appliances are clear it’s easier to see how the teeth are moving and how clean the mouth is.

Patients looking for complete aesthetic orthodontic solutions can find the right option for them by looking at the different types of braces available. Clear braces are just one of the many types of modern orthodontic appliances that are designed to fit the needs and lifestyles of different patients.
