What Are Clear Braces?
Modern Orthodontic Solution
Clear braces function just like traditional metal braces but use transparent or tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your smile. These braces consist of clear ceramic brackets attached to your teeth and connected by thin archwires that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.
Unlike clear aligners such as Invisalign, clear braces remain fixed to your teeth throughout treatment. They provide the precision and control of traditional braces while offering a more discreet appearance, making them popular among Markham teens and adults who want effective orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to their braces.
At Oasis Orthodontics in Markham, we proudly offer clear braces to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile—comfortably and discreetly.

Common Issues Treated with Clear Braces in Markham
Clear braces effectively correct a wide range of orthodontic problems:
Crowded Teeth
When teeth are overcrowded, they can overlap or twist, making it difficult to achieve a properly aligned smile. Clear braces can help by gently shifting the teeth into their correct positions. They apply gradual pressure to create the necessary space, allowing for better alignment and a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth can affect both the appearance and function of your bite. Clear braces work by gradually moving the teeth closer together to close these unwanted spaces. This not only improves the look of your smile but also helps enhance your bite's functionality by ensuring better alignment.
Overbites
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth extend too far forward over the lower teeth, leading to discomfort and uneven wear. Clear braces can correct this by gradually shifting the upper teeth back and the lower teeth forward, restoring a more natural bite and reducing strain on your jaw.
Underbites
In an underbite, the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, which can lead to jaw strain and difficulty in chewing. Clear braces help by repositioning the lower teeth back and aligning the upper teeth forward, creating a more balanced bite and alleviating discomfort.
Crossbites
A crossbite happens when the upper and lower jaws are misaligned, causing uneven wear on the teeth and jaw pain. Clear braces work to realign the upper and lower teeth, ensuring a proper bite and preventing long-term issues like jaw pain or uneven tooth wear.
Open Bites
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, which can lead to difficulty biting and speaking. Clear braces help close these gaps by gradually shifting the teeth to meet properly, improving both the function of your bite and the overall appearance of your smile.

Caring Your Clear Braces
Simple Daily Tips
Maintaining your Ceramic braces properly helps ensure they remain as discreet as possible throughout treatment. Brush carefully around brackets and under wires after every meal to prevent staining and decay. While you can eat most foods, very sticky or hard items should be avoided to prevent bracket damage. Wear a mouthguard during sports to protect both your braces and teeth from impact. Continue seeing your regular dentist for cleanings and check-ups during orthodontic treatment, as professional cleanings help maintain both the appearance of your clear braces and the health of your teeth during the straightening process.
Clear Braces for Different Age Groups
Many Markham teenagers prefer clear braces for their discreet appearance during these socially important years. The ceramic brackets offer effective treatment without the noticeable look of metal braces, helping maintain confidence during school, sports, and social activities.
Professional adults throughout Markham appreciate clear braces for their subtle appearance in workplace settings. They provide effective treatment for those who need comprehensive orthodontic correction while maintaining a professional appearance.
