If you searched “clear braces near me” because you want straighter teeth without a mouth full of metal, clear braces in Mount Laurel, NJ at Ellis Orthodontics may be exactly what you’re looking for. Our 5-star rated Mount Laurel practice uses tooth-colored ceramic brackets instead of metal ones for effective, more comfortable treatment that blends in with your natural smile.
Clear braces — sometimes called ceramic braces or clear bracket braces — work the same way traditional metal braces do. The difference is the material: ceramic brackets match the color of your teeth, so friends, family, and coworkers are far less likely to notice them than they would traditional metal brackets.
Ceramic brackets from Ellis Orthodontics are also smaller and more rounded than their metal counterparts, which means less irritation to your lips and gums throughout your smile journey. We regularly see patients from Mount Laurel as well as Medford and Cherry Hill, NJ who want this more discreet option.
Clear braces are one of several orthodontic treatments we offer. They are a popular pick in teen orthodontics and with adults.
Here’s how clear braces treatment works at our Mount Laurel office:
- 1
Meet and greet at your first consult
Dr. Ellis and the team thoroughly evaluate your teeth and jaws.
- 2
Personalize your treatment plan
We use digital X-rays and iTero intraoral scanners to build a full 3D model of your smile.
- 3
Get your clear braces on
Dr. Ellis carefully attaches each ceramic bracket and threads a medical-grade archwire through them, then walks you through care instructions.
- 4
Come in for regular adjustments
You’ll visit our Mount Laurel office throughout treatment so we can track your progress.
- 5
Keep your results for longer
Once treatment is complete, we create a customized retainer to help prevent your teeth from drifting back.
Clear Braces vs. Metal Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Choose clear braces if you prefer a discreet treatment
Ceramic brackets are less noticeable than metal, thanks to their natural, tooth-colored material — a common reason patients search “clear bracket braces New Jersey” instead of traditional options.
Choose metal braces if you need to address more severe conditions
Metal braces are slightly stronger and more durable, and are more often recommended for complex orthodontic issues.
Not sure which is right for you?
The best way to decide is a free consultation with Dr. Ellis or Dr. Lekht, who can evaluate your bite and walk you through both options, including our traditional braces.
Clear Braces FAQs
Are clear braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes — clear braces are as effective as traditional braces and can treat virtually the same orthodontic issues with the same reliable, consistent results.
Do ceramic braces stain?
Ceramic brackets themselves resist staining, though the clear elastic ties that hold the archwire in place can pick up discoloration from foods like coffee, tea, or red sauce between adjustments — good oral hygiene helps minimize this.
Are clear braces more expensive than metal braces?
Ceramic braces are typically priced between metal braces and clear aligners like Invisalign, though exact cost depends on your treatment plan. We’ll go over pricing at your free consultation.
Do clear braces take longer to work than metal braces?
Not typically — ceramic brackets move teeth using the same mechanics as metal brackets, so treatment length depends mainly on your individual bite rather than the bracket material.
Is Ellis Orthodontics a good option if I’m coming from Medford or Cherry Hill, NJ?
Yes — we welcome patients from Medford, Cherry Hill, and throughout the greater Mount Laurel area at our single Church Road office.
Can kids get clear braces, or are they just for adults?
Clear braces can be a good option for image-conscious teens as well as adults; Dr. Ellis or Dr. Lekht will confirm candidacy based on your child’s dental development.
Will I need a retainer after clear braces?
Yes — after your ceramic braces come off, we create a custom retainer to help ensure your new smile lasts.
