Clear braces are very similar to traditional braces; they work on the same principles. Brackets are installed on the teeth and a wire is used to guide teeth into place. The major difference is that the brackets are made from ceramic, not metal. This makes them less visible when installed Ceramics are often more expensive than traditional braces, and the material can be more brittle than metal brackets. Extra care will have to be used to maintain them when it comes to oral hygiene. Your child will still require regular visits with your orthodontic braces as treatment progresses.
