Clear Braces

Clear braces are a popular choice for adults and teens that would like a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Options include clear aligners and clear ceramic braces, which use tooth-colored ceramic brackets and wires instead for a nearly invisible look.

The invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. To discuss clear braces in the Portsmouth OH area, please feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment.

  • SureSmile uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
  • The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Walls‘s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
  • You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Walls has prescribed.
  • You’ll visit Dr. Walls about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  • Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
