Orthodontics Ask The Dentist - Edward Leventhal

Question:
To get clear braces do you have to have a perfect bite? Are the clear braces more expensive? Do clear braces work just as good and as fast as the metal?

Answer:
Your bite doesn't have to be perfect to get clear braces. Some orthodontists prefer to place clear braces only on the top teeth, while others place clear braces on most of the teeth. The clear braces are a bit more expensive and they do work just as good and as fast as the metal ones.
