Orthodontie discrète
Orthodontie discrète
A more discreet orthodontic appliance
Discrete orthodontics aims to offer a more aesthetic alternative to traditional metal brackets. Metal braces can sometimes feel limiting, both socially and professionally.
“Transparent” brackets are increasingly popular with patients who want an appliance that stays as discreet as possible during treatment. Ceramic brackets are now one of the most common aesthetic alternatives to metal.
With that in mind, 3M improved traditional ceramic brackets with a newer range: Clarity ADVANCED aesthetic ceramic brackets.
As a result of this R&D work, Clarity ADVANCED brackets are highly discreet in the mouth, and their more compact design noticeably improves day‑to‑day comfort.
What advantages do Clarity ADVANCED brackets offer compared with other brackets?
A more compact, comfortable design with rounded edges (ultra‑fine ceramic injection process) to reduce irritation and friction against soft tissues (cheeks, lips, etc.).
A great option for teens who like to personalise their braces. Via http://paintyoursmile.com, they can pick elastic colours before the visit and preview the look.
A translucent material that blends with your natural tooth shade for a barely noticeable result.
Designed for efficient placement: the brackets are pre‑coated (APC), which simplifies bonding, speeds it up, and improves traceability.
Even though these brackets are very aesthetic, they can still be slightly visible. If you want to go further, there are even more discreet options—sometimes translucent, or even fully invisible.
For the most demanding patients, we also offer premium aesthetic‑focused alternatives:
> Lingual orthodontics (Incognito technique): custom brackets are bonded on the inside surfaces of the teeth, so they’re invisible. You benefit from an effective treatment without aesthetic drawbacks.
> Invisalign clear aligner orthodontics: removable aligners worn daily that gradually move the teeth. Aligners are typically changed every 2–3 weeks.
