Westlake Ceramic Braces

Smile Clearly & Confidently

At Rubin Orthodontics, we're proud to offer advanced and stylish clear braces. These cutting-edge, clear braces combine the strength of traditional braces and the discreet look of clear aligners.

The ceramic brackets blend seamlessly with your natural smile, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.

A Clear Alternative to Metal

Ceramic braces offer the same reliable results as traditional metal braces, but with a more subtle and refined look. Using clear or tooth-colored brackets, they blend beautifully with your natural teeth—giving you a more discreet way to achieve a confident, straight smile.

With clear braces, you can enjoy all the benefits of traditional orthodontic treatment while keeping your smile looking natural throughout your journey.

How Clear Braces Work

Clear braces function just like metal braces, gently guiding your teeth into alignment with the help of brackets and archwires. The main difference lies in the materials—our high-quality ceramic brackets are designed to match your teeth’s color, making them much less noticeable.

This treatment option offers:

A more discreet appearance throughout treatment
Effective, precise tooth movement for lasting results
A smooth, comfortable fit designed for everyday confidence

The Benefits of Clarity

Clear braces give you all the reliable results of traditional braces with a more discreet, natural look. Let’s explore some of the key benefits of choosing ceramic braces for your smile journey:

Comfortable Movement

Ceramic braces work just like traditional braces, gently guiding your teeth into place. The smooth, tooth-colored brackets are designed to minimize irritation and provide a more comfortable experience throughout treatment.

Effective Treatment

Ceramic braces deliver precise, consistent tooth movement for lasting results. While treatment time is similar to traditional braces, you get the added benefit of a discreet, natural appearance while your smile improves.

Easier to Maintain

With proper brushing and flossing, clear braces are easy to care for. The smooth ceramic brackets reduce the buildup of food and plaque, helping you keep your smile clean and healthy throughout treatment.

Confidence Boost

Ceramic braces blend with your natural teeth, making your orthodontic treatment far less noticeable. You can smile confidently while your teeth straighten—showing off progress without feeling self-conscious.

Clear Versus Metal

When deciding on a treatment option, you may notice some “clear” advantages with ceramic braces.

However, both metal and clear braces function similarly to straighten your teeth and offer their own benefits depending on your smile needs.

Let’s take a look to see which option may work best for you:

If you want a discreet treatment option: Clear braces are harder to spot during treatment than metal braces. So if you’re self-conscious about others noticing your treatment — or you just need a less noticeable option for your professional or personal life — then ceramic braces may be the option for you.
If you have more complex smile needs: Ceramic and metal braces use the same methods to straighten your smile, but metal braces are slightly stronger and can handle more complex adjustments. For tough alignments, Dr. Rubin may recommend metal braces.

Caring for Your Clear Braces

Proper care is essential for maintaining your ceramic braces and ensuring effective treatment. Here are some tips to keep your braces and teeth in great shape:

Foods to Avoid

To prevent damage to your clear braces, avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods.

Foods like popcorn, nuts, and chewing gum can break brackets and wires, prolonging your treatment time. Stick to softer foods and cut harder items into smaller pieces.

Daily Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is important when you have clear braces.

Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and around the brackets.

Regular Checkups

Keep up with your regular orthodontic appointments to ensure your braces are functioning correctly.

Dr. Rubin will make any necessary adjustments and monitor your progress. These visits are crucial for unlocking the best possible results.
