We choose Clear Braces because we’re serious about paying attention to technology that helps our patients.
Why Clear Braces?
We see gimmicky or highly-marketed technology come out all the time that is useless or doesn’t actually benefit you. Clear braces work great, look great, and allow you to enjoy your smile from day one. We think that’s a pretty big deal!
Want more options? We also offer Invisalign. See if it’s a fit for you.
Look great in braces
Don’t wait until your braces are off to enjoy your smile. With clear braces, we’ve proven that you can enjoy your brace experience the entire time you are in treatment.
Enjoy your smile from day one.
Excellent Results
Clarity Advanced braces offer all the great benefits we’ve seen from modern braces technology and then some! These are high-tech braces. Plus, you’ll look great!
There is no trade-off.
Improved Hygiene
Clarity Advanced braces use a special kind of adhesive that is proven to reduce the risk of cavities during your time in treatment. We think that’s a big deal!
Keep your teeth healthy.
No more metal!
Finally, no more big, metal brackets obstructing your smile. Clarity Advanced no longer has to use the big, bulky brackets that people associate with orthodontic care.
No more metal braces!
Our clear braces are made by 3M and are part of their Clarity Advanced line of braces. 3M has been making high-quality braces for a very long time, and we trust the current direction that this technology is taking. We couldn’t be happier to offer 3M Clear Braces as a great looking and effective option.
Most people don’t care about what braces their orthodontists uses. Why would they? Braces are braces. Well, that’s not entirely true. As you can see, the 3M Clarity System that Smith and Davis Orthodontics offers are an excellent balance of effectiveness, durability, and beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Clear Braces take longer
No. Today’s clear braces are designed to work just as efficiently — and even more — as metal braces of the past. Our treatment times have not increased since we stopped using metal braces. Clear braces will help your smile just as well as traditional metal braces.
Do I have to put colored rubber bands on my braces?
No. Our patients have the option of decorating their braces with colors or leaving them clear in order to reduce visibility. It’s completely up to the patient. The clear braces look great with colors added to them, and you can add more color with braces rubber bands, which connect your upper and lower jaws. Without colors added, the braces are incredibly discreet.
Do Clear brackets cost more?
No. At our office, we have never charged a higher fee for clear braces or Invisalign. We want your new smile to be affordable, which is why we work with you to find the financial options that work best for your budget.
Are clear braces more brittle?
Not really. Technically, they are more brittle, but this is not a bad thing. The forces that used to knock metal braces off teeth now tend to chip a clear brace instead of taking it off the tooth. This is not dangerous at all. The injection molded process used in Clarity Advanced braces makes them the strongest, most stain-resistant ceramic braces we’ve ever used. However, if you ever do have a braces emergency, we’re here to help!
