Discover the Beauty of Clear Braces

Are you dreaming of a straight, confident smile without the hassle of traditional metal braces? Look no further than our expert team led by Dr. Barnes in Dunn, NC. With discreet and comfortable treatment, clear braces from Skyblue Orthodontics can give you the smile you've always wanted.

Change the Way You See Braces

We understand that a beautiful smile can boost your confidence. Our clear braces align your teeth precisely while blending in with your natural appearance.

Clear braces work the same way as metal ones, but use ceramic materials to blend them with your teeth. Clear braces are a great option for older teens and adults who want straighter smiles without metal brackets.

The Science Behind Clear Braces

Our clear braces use advanced orthodontic technology to guide your teeth into position. Just like traditional braces, clear braces consist of brackets and wires. However, what sets them apart is the transparent materials, making them nearly invisible! It's a great discreet option with all the durability traditional metal braces have, just much less unsightly!

What to Expect With Clear Braces

Dr. Barnes and her team at Skyblue Orthodontics can give you the smile you've always dreamed of. You'll enjoy the discreet and comfortable benefits of clear braces to get amazing results.

Clear braces offer a subtle and effective way to get a straight and confident smile. They work similarly to traditional braces but take a different approach to aesthetics. They're functional, too, closing the gaps between your teeth and improving your overall oral health!

Personalized Treatment Plan

Your journey to a stunning smile starts with a free consultation with Dr. Barnes. Every smile is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to giving you the smile you deserve.

Bracket Placement

Clear braces use brackets, just like traditional metal braces. However, these brackets are crafted from transparent or tooth-colored materials instead of metal. Dr. Barnes will gently attach the brackets to the front surface of your teeth, serving as small anchor points for the wire.

Archwire Connection

Like traditional braces, clear braces are connected with a thin, flexible wire. This archwire exerts gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually moving them into straighter positions. Dr. Barnes will adjust the wire throughout treatment to keep things moving in the right direction. The adjustments will be small and subtle, but truly impactful over the course of your treatment.

Tooth Movement

The archwire's pressure on the brackets creates a controlled force that guides your teeth into alignment. The brackets act as anchors, and the archwire provides the necessary tension to encourage tooth movement. With regular checkups, we adjust them ever so slightly for your best comfort and the best results to match.

Gradual Adjustments

Dr. Barnes will schedule regular appointments to adjust the archwire throughout your treatment. These adjustments give us precise control over the movement of your teeth, ensuring they align according to your treatment plan.

Discreet Appearance

The best part about clear braces is their nearly invisible appearance. The transparent or tooth-colored brackets blend with your teeth. That makes them great if you want a more discreet orthodontic option.

Comfort & Convenience

Clear braces are designed with your comfort in mind. The brackets have smooth edges that minimize irritation and discomfort. Adjustment appointments are often less frequent than traditional braces, meaning fewer visits to our Dunn office. That said, if any irritation does happen, we offer dental wax you can apply yourself while you arrange for a check-in with us to have it adjusted.

Unveiling Your New Smile

As your treatment progresses, your teeth gradually shift into alignment. When your treatment is complete, you'll unveil a beautifully straight smile that boosts your confidence and enhances your oral health. Dr. Barnes will gently remove the wire and the brackets, leaving you with a lustrous, smooth finish.

Your Clear Reason to Smile

Clear braces can give you a beautiful smile without compromising aesthetics. However, the nearly invisible look is only one of the reasons you'll smile!

Embrace Every Movement

One of the best things about clear braces is that they allow you to live your life to the fullest during your orthodontic treatment. Whether snapping selfies, enjoying meals, or hanging with friends, clear braces are low-key.

Comfort & Convenience

Clear braces are discreet and offer exceptional comfort throughout your orthodontic journey. The smooth edges of the brackets and the minimally invasive adjustments ensure your experience is as painless as possible. Plus, with fewer visits than traditional braces, you'll spend less time in our office and more time enjoying your life. Did we mention they're tough? The brackets are designed to withstand the duration of your treatment, meaning one application and one removal. Less fuss!
