Lincoln Ceramic Braces
The Clear Way to a Straight Smile
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, clear braces are a discreet and effective way to align your teeth without the bold look of metal brackets.
Whether you’re a teen or an adult looking for more subtle treatment, clear braces provide the same trusted results with a more subtle look.

Let’s Get Clear About Ceramic Braces
Clear braces with Dr. Richard Clabaugh work just like traditional metal braces but with a more subtle appearance. Instead of metal brackets, they use tooth-colored or clear ceramic brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, so they're far less noticeable.
How Clear Braces Work
Clear braces use a system of brackets and wires to move your teeth into alignment over time. The process is as effective as metal braces, making them great if you need comprehensive orthodontic treatment but prefer a less visible solution.
Modern clear braces use strong, stain-resistant ceramic to stay discreet throughout your treatment. While they may be slightly larger than metal braces, clear brackets are smooth and comfortable for everyday wear.

The Benefits of Clear Braces
Clear braces give you the strength of metal braces with a more discreet, ceramic design that blends in with your smile, offering the best of both worlds.
Fits Your Style
You can go through treatment with confidence, knowing your braces won’t be the center of attention.
Ceramic braces are far less noticeable than metal ones, making them a great option for teens and adults who want a more discreet way to straighten their smile.
Proven Results
Ceramic braces are as effective as metal braces and can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, providing reliable and consistent results.
Comfortable & Strong
The smooth finish of clear, ceramic braces is designed for comfort. They are also durable and capable of handling even complex orthodontic cases.
Ceramic Vs. Metal Braces: The Clear Difference
Let’s look at the key differences between these two orthodontic treatments to help you decide which one best suits your needs.
Appearance
Clear braces are crafted from ceramic materials that closely match your natural tooth color, offering a more subtle appearance than metal braces.
In contrast, metal braces feature stainless steel brackets, making them more noticeable but highly durable.
Durability
Both clear and metal braces are strong and effective, but metal braces have a slight edge in durability thanks to their stainless steel construction.
That said, clear braces are still highly resilient and can successfully correct many orthodontic issues.
Comfort
Both ceramic and metal braces are designed for the best possible comfort, with highly polished surfaces and rounded edges that are less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
