Clear Braces

What Makes Clear Braces a Popular Choice in Glen Cove

Clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets and thin wires to gently move your teeth, just like traditional braces, but with a lot less shine. They're a great fit for teens or adults who want a more discreet option without giving up the reliability of fixed braces.

At LIONS Orthodontics, Dr. Zar customizes every case using digital scans and sleek, low-profile materials. The result? Braces that do the heavy lifting without stealing the spotlight in school photos, selfies, or big presentations.

While clear braces are slightly more delicate than metal, they’re just as effective for most mild to moderate alignment and bite issues. You’ll still get the consistent, one-doctor care LIONS Orthodontics is known for.

How Clear Braces Work

Clear braces work the same way metal braces do—they apply steady, gentle pressure to move your teeth into better alignment over time. The main difference is the materials.

Instead of shiny metal brackets, clear braces use ceramic brackets that match the color of your teeth. These brackets are paired with a thin wire that’s either clear or tooth-colored, so the whole system stays low-profile while still doing all the heavy lifting.

You’ll come in for regular adjustments with Dr. Zar at LIONS Orthodontics, just like you would with traditional braces. It’s the same tried-and-true method.
