Yes: Talk to an Orthodontic Specialist. Clear braces may be available to resolve your malocclusion. Clear aligner trays are also available for mild problems, but keep in mind that they are less than half as effective as fixed appliances.

Yes it is possible: You can get clear or white fixed braces with almost the same performance of the metal ones, but if you are talking about clear removable braces like Invisalign , yes still can have them , but they can take almost twice the time to do the job . Hope that help:)

Ask orthodontist: Having orthodontic treatment doesn't necessarily require metal brackets and wires.The fact is that many of today's braces are made from either clear or natural tooth colored materials. Clear aligners are good for patients requiring minor orthodontic treatment. By asking your orthodontist, you can decide if clear or ceramic braces are the right treatment for you. Take care.

Of course: I try to discourage my patients because the clear braces have more breakage, they are larger reducing the interbracket span and increasing the force for a given amount of wire deflection, it is harder to control tooth movement in all 3 planes of space, and the top teeth can be damaged if they bite against the lower ceramic braces. Clear aligners are an expensive inferior product.

Yes: invisalign has been a product we have been very happy with. Please be aware, however, we have had very bad experiences with Clear Correct and would not recommend this product.

Possibly: certainly if your orthodontist agrees and i would expect additional charges for the change.

Sure: Sure you can ask but if the brackets are already on there and if they need to change things out there may be a fee to for replacement.
