TRANSPARENCY AND COMFORT ARE OUR HALLMARKS
3M Clarity Advanced Braces
The strength and predictability of traditional braces, without the look.
Clear braces are an excellent option for patients with complex cases that do not like the esthetics of metal braces. They are also great for patients who don’t trust themselves to wear Clear Aligners 24/7.
3M Clarity Advanced Braces are the best ceramic braces on the market because they offer the following:
Better Aesthetics
The translucent brackets are specifically made to blend with your natural tooth structure and are highly resistant to staining and discoloration.
Smaller but Stronger
The brackets are made with a fine-grained ceramic material that offers strength in a small package.
Easier Removal Process
Unlike some ceramic braces, Clarity Advanced are easily removed due to their unique design.
Minimal Effort
Most of all, these provide an esthetic solution for patients that don’t want to worry about wearing clear aligners all the time and taking them in and out. You can easily wear these braces, eat, drink, and sleep without worry.
Frequently Asked Questions
They can. Although 3M Clarity Advanced are the most stain resistant brackets on the market, they can still stain if treated improperly. They need to be brushed 2x daily for 2 minutes at a time and patients need to brush or thoroughly rinse after drinking coffee, tea, or eating turmeric. Tobacco smoking will also severely stain these brackets (which no patient should be doing anyways).

This is because the porcelain used in clear braces is harder than your enamel, and if you were to bite down on them, you could wear away your tooth edges. This happens frequently in patients that have clear braces on the top and bottom. Your tooth health is always Dr. Kuzmic’s #1 concern.
No. While there are still a couple things that traditional braces do better than clear braces, it generally does not cost any extra treatment time.

Dr. Kuzmic can provide a quick and easy treatment process to get you started on your oral health journey. Our treatment for the 3M Clarity Advanced braces goes as follows:
- Consult with Dr. Kuzmic: During your initial consultation, Dr. Kuzmic will develop a custom, digital treatment plan to show you how your teeth will move over time and how long it needs to take to reshape your teeth when using the Clarity Advanced braces.
- Braces Appointment: After the consultation, your braces appointment will consist of Dr. Kuzmic installing the brackets and wires around your teeth. Dr. Kuzmic will bond the braces to your teeth using special adhesives and curing lights and then run the archwire through the braces to hold the brackets in place. The appointment may last for up to two hours.
- Follow-Up Appointments: By scheduling follow-up appointments, Dr. Kuzmic can track your wear time, share your progress, and follow through with your clear braces treatment.
- Important note: Dr. Kuzmic only places Clarity Advanced braces on the upper teeth to protect your enamel from chipping due to the strength of the brackets. For more information, contact Kuzmic Orthodontics for a consultation.
