The New Clear vs. Metal Braces
Clear, ceramic braces look less obvious when compared to metal braces. Yet 3D-printed braces have never looked more subtle.
Thanks to smaller components and its polycrystalline (tooth-colored) material, you’ll barely notice these braces in your mouth.
Plus, these LightForce clear braces feel more comfortable and work more efficiently at moving your teeth compared to traditional braces.
The nearly-invisible look of 3D-printed custom braces make them an excellent option for older teens and adult patients at our orthodontic practices who’d like to straighten their teeth without standing out with metal braces.
Comparing Metal & 3D-Printed Brackets
| What Matters | Regular Braces | 3D Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket Fit | Stock brackets that come in preset sizes | 3D-printed brackets shaped for each tooth |
| Look | Shiny metal (or clear ceramic) that shows on the front of the teeth | Low-profile, tooth-colored brackets that blend in |
| Comfort | Bulkier edges can rub lips and cheeks | Smoother, slimmer edges made to match your bite |
| Visits | Wires need frequent tweaks, so more chair time | Fewer adjustments because each bracket starts in the right spot |
| Treatment Time | Proven but can be longer | Studies show 30-45% shorter timelines on average |
| Cost | Usually the most budget-friendly | Often a bit more up front, but fewer visits may balance things out |
| Best For | Any case, especially if your child loves colorful bands | Families who want a fast, discreet option and fewer school-day appointments |
