What are clear braces? Are they more expensive?
The clear braces Dr. Jensen uses are of the highest quality composite material. They are just as effective as metal braces, but less visible. The clear braces are a little more fragile than the metal ones. Dr. Jensen only recommends clear braces on the upper front teeth because most people only show their upper front teeth when they smile.
The clear braces we use are of the highest quality porcelain material. They are just as effective as metal braces, but less visible. The clear braces are more fragile than the metal ones, but not so fragile that they break easily. There is an additional charge for porcelain braces and occasionally treatment with them does take longer.
