What are Invisible Braces
While wearing braces is very common, some people are hesitant to get them because they don’t like the way they look. This is especially true for adults. Well, our dental professionals believe everyone should be able to achieve their orthodontic goals without compromising their confidence, happiness, or appearance (no matter how short-term). So, what’s the solution?
Invisible braces are an orthodontic treatment designed to straighten your teeth discreetly. These braces are nearly invisible, so if you feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces or just prefer a less noticeable alternative, treatment options are available. The ideal braces for adults, teens, and kids, a confident smile starts with this aesthetic solution to crooked teeth.
What do invisible braces look like
Invisible braces are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth, ensuring minimal visibility. Unlike traditional braces with noticeable metal brackets and wires, invisible aligners are made of clear plastic or ceramic material, offering a discreet alternative for those wanting a straighter smile.

Ceramic Clear Braces
Ceramic clear braces function similarly to traditional metal braces but with clear or tooth-coloured brackets, making them less noticeable. Invisible braces offer transformative results, helping to straighten teeth, reposition crowded teeth, and fix bite problems. To make these braces even more discreet, lingual braces use the same materials but are placed on the inside of the teeth, rather than on the front. Walnut Grove Ortho is proud to offer this durable, cost-effective, confidence-boosting treatment plan to its patients, ensuring they receive the best invisible braces treatment plan for their needs.
