Clear Braces

Getting clear braces is easy and painless. A team member will clean and prep your teeth before Dr. Brian Zebrick places each ceramic bracket with a strong adhesive.

Once everything is in place, we’ll go over how to care for your braces—and send you out the door with everything you need to get started.

Yes! Clear braces work just like metal ones, using brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth. You get the same reliable results—just in a more discreet style.

Not at all. We treat many adults at BZ Orthodontics who prefer a low-profile look during treatment. In fact, we offer clear braces on the upper teeth at no additional cost for qualifying adults—so you can stay confident while working toward your new smile.

Treatment time varies, but most patients wear clear braces for 12 to 24 months. At your consultation, Dr. Zebrick will create a personalized plan based on your goals and timeline.

You might feel some mild soreness after getting your braces or after adjustments, but that usually fades within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help. If discomfort sticks around, give our Lansdale office a call.

The brackets themselves are stain-resistant, but the clear elastic ties can discolor. To keep them looking fresh, try to avoid dark-colored drinks and foods like coffee, red wine, and curry. Don’t worry—Dr. Zebrick replaces your ties regularly at check-ins, so you don’t have to overhaul your whole diet.

Steer clear of sticky, hard, or crunchy foods that can damage your braces. Things like popcorn, caramel, and ice cubes are best saved for after treatment. A little caution now means fewer repairs later.

Absolutely. Your general dentist will help keep your teeth and gums healthy while we straighten your smile. Regular cleanings are extra important when brushing and flossing around brackets.

When you’re done with treatment, Dr. Zebrick will gently remove the brackets and polish away any adhesive. You’ll leave with smooth, clean teeth—and a brand-new smile you can’t wait to show off.

Your cost depends on your case, but we’ll go over everything during your free consultation. At BZ Orthodontics, we offer affordable options with zero-interest financing and flexible monthly payments, so there’s no stress about surprise fees.

You’ll typically visit our Lansdale office every four to eight weeks. These check-ins help us adjust your braces, track your progress, and keep everything moving on schedule.

We recommend brushing four times a day—after every meal and before bed. It’s the best way to keep your teeth healthy and avoid staining around your brackets. Orthodontic flossers and a Waterpik can also make daily care a lot easier.
