Why Clarity Advanced Braces?
Clarity Advanced Braces represent a step forward in clear orthodontic braces. Clarity Advanced uses a series of brackets and wires to straighten the teeth similar to metal braces, but the brackets are made from a high-tech, translucent composite material that blends in with teeth, and they've been constructed with a host of technological innovations and advantages to make them a remarkably convenient treatment option.

- Clear brackets that blend in with teeth
- Ultra-small design makes them harder to detect in photos and social situations

- Resistance to staining and discoloration
- Designed to make debonding easy and provide hiccup-free removal at the end of treatment
- Can treat virtually any orthodontic condition
Caring for Clarity Advanced Braces
Clarity braces offer a highly discreet form of treatment, but you'll still have to make some changes to your lifestyle to take care of them and ensure successful treatment. Properly caring for your braces is vital to achieving your new smile, so remember to keep the following things in mind during your treatment:
- Strong Oral Hygiene: Normally, you need to brush twice a day and floss daily – but you'll need to bulk up your brushing schedule while wearing braces. We recommend brushing at least four times daily, and ideally after you eat or drink anything besides water. At a minimum, you should brush after every meal and before bed in addition to daily flossing. This will protect your teeth from decay, which is more of an issue while wearing braces.
- Dietary Changes: In addition to oral hygiene, you'll have to make a few modifications to your diet during treatment. Specifically, avoid any foods that are hard, chewy, crunchy, sticky, or full of sugar. These foods can damage or dislodge your braces, derailing your treatment, and they also pose the risk of causing dental decay, which can be a major problem during orthodontic treatment.
- Regular Visits to Your Dentist: Finally, don't forget to keep up with your regular schedule of teeth cleanings and dentist visits! If anything, seeing your dentist is even more important while you have braces, so don't forget to maintain your schedule of semi-annual teeth cleanings and dental checkups.
