Ceramic Braces in Pittsburgh & Monroeville
Blend in to Stand Out
Clear braces at Pechersky Orthodontics offer a low-profile way to reposition your teeth. They have the same robust work ethic as their metal partners. But they blend in with your smile, so your treatment becomes less noticeable and more comfortable.
Invisible Strength, Visible Results
Clear braces, also known as ceramic braces, offer the effectiveness of traditional metal braces but with a more discreet appearance.
Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, they blend right in with your smile. That's why they're an excellent option for patients who want a subtle treatment.
At Pechersky Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer the cutting-edge 3M Victory Series™ Low Profile (LP) brackets with APC Flash-Free Adhesive technology. What does that mean for you? A faster, cleaner bonding process and a more comfortable treatment experience.
How Clear Braces Work
Clear braces use wires and brackets to help ease your teeth into new positions. They work just like metal braces but with one obvious difference.
They blend in with your teeth, so your treatment won't be the next topic of conversation! You'll get the same precise and reliable results as metal braces but with a more discreet look.
The Clear Leg Up
Clear braces combine the strength of metal braces with a low-profile design that blends nicely with your smile. With clear braces, you get the best of both worlds — a hush-hush look with powerful, reliable results.
Subtle Style
Smile confidently throughout your treatment without worrying about metal braces grabbing attention. Clear braces are designed to be less noticeable, so they're an ideal choice for teens and adults who want a more subtle orthodontic solution.
Proven Results
Clear braces are just as effective as metal braces. They can tackle lots of different malocclusions ("bad bites"). When it's time for debond day, you'll have a smile that will "wow" the world.
Comfort & Durability
Made from smooth ceramic materials, clear braces are designed for comfort. They cause less irritation to your gums and cheeks than metal braces while remaining durable enough to handle even complex orthodontic cases easily.
Clear Versus Metal
When choosing the right treatment, you’ll find that ceramic braces offer some “clear” advantages. Both metal and clear braces work effectively to straighten your teeth, but each comes with its own benefits depending on your specific needs.
Let’s take a look at which option might suit you best:
- If you’re looking for a discreet option: Clear braces are much less noticeable than metal braces. If you prefer a more subtle treatment, especially for professional or social reasons, ceramic braces might be the better choice for you.
- If you have complex orthodontic needs: While both clear and metal braces work the same way to align your smile, metal braces tend to be stronger and can handle more challenging adjustments. For tougher alignments, Dr. Pechersky may recommend metal braces.

Caring for Your Clear Braces
Taking care of your ceramic braces is a must to keep your treatment moving along. Here are some easy tips to help you keep your braces and teeth in top shape:
Foods to Watch Out For
Try to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods with clear braces. Things like popcorn, nuts, and gum can break brackets or wires, slowing down your treatment. Stick to softer options and cut tougher foods into smaller bites to avoid any problems.
Daily Cleaning
Good brushing and flossing are important when you have clear braces. Brush after every meal with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Don’t forget to floss every day to clean around your brackets and between your teeth.
