Clear Braces | Baytown
Clearly Comfortable Braces
Johnston Orthodontics offers clear braces crafted from a durable ceramic material that seamlessly matches the shade of your natural teeth — so you get a low-profile treatment that’s much less obvious than traditional braces.
All About Clear Braces
Clear braces offer a discreet solution to refine your smile. They work similarly to traditional metal braces. But they use transparent ceramic brackets that match the natural color of your teeth.
What They're Made Of
Clear braces from our Baytown location are crafted from a nearly invisible polycrystalline ceramic that combines strength with aesthetic appeal.
The brackets don't vanish entirely. But their subtle appearance seamlessly complements your natural smile — a far cry from traditional metal braces.
Clearly Customizable
While many patients appreciate the discreet nature of ceramic braces, if you crave a splash of color, you may enjoy this trendy twist: Some teens and adults opt for vibrant ligature ties that contrast brilliantly against the clear brackets.
The Best Way to Blend In
Ceramic brackets offer a subtle approach to enhancing your smile, especially when combined with clear or tooth-colored wires and ties. They're a popular choice among adults and style-conscious teens seeking a discreet solution.
For those who prefer a low-maintenance aesthetic option without the responsibility of removable aligners, ceramic braces are an ideal fit.
How They Work
Clear braces operate on the same principle as traditional metal braces by using gentle pressure to shift teeth into their desired positions. The primary difference lies in their discreet ceramic brackets, which are designed to match the shade of your teeth.
Clear Vs. Metal Braces

Exploring orthodontics means understanding the nuances of each treatment option. Learn what distinguishes clear braces from their traditional counterparts.
How They Look
You can't overlook metal braces — but clear braces subtly blend into the background of your smile. With their transparent ceramic brackets, they meld with your teeth's shade and remain a favorite among adults and professionals seeking a low-profile alternative.
Strength Behind Every Smile
Conventional braces are incredibly durable and can stand up to daily wear and tear. On the other hand, ceramic clear braces are also resilient but may require more delicate attention to avoid potential damage.
Length & Treatment
Both metal and clear braces excel at fixing misaligned teeth. But thanks to the metal brackets' ability to handle more pressure, you might see faster results than with clear braces.
Cost Comparison
Your treatment duration and the complexity of your orthodontic issues will figure significantly into the cost of your orthodontic treatment. Typically, clear braces carry a higher price tag than metal ones — a nod to their aesthetic appeal and the premium ceramic material involved.
Full Customization
Both clear and metal braces offer a dash of personal flair with lively elastics. Though clear braces are geared toward discretion, they can also make a statement. While we usually pair them with clear elastics for a muted look, feel free to liven things up with a burst of color.
Why Choose Clear Braces?
Clear braces blend the power of traditional braces with the discretion of clear aligners. Explore the advantages of choosing ceramic braces for your smile transformation:
Low-Profile Design
Clear braces shine with their subtle design. They let you embrace orthodontic treatment without the flash of metal brackets — which makes them a favorite for adults and teens seeking a more discreet orthodontic touch.
