Empower braces offer many benefits, but the most popular is almost always that they are clear! Created from high-tech ceramic materials, Empower braces are built to be strong and virtually invisible, and because they don’t use rubber bands like traditional braces, they look great on your teeth. In the words of their creators, American Orthodontics, “You’ll be noticed, your braces won’t.”

You’re probably wondering how Empower braces work, without the use of rubber bands and being so different from metal braces. The answer might offer a pleasant surprise…

Empower uses specially designed “clips” integrated directly into the bracket to hold the wire in place, instead of the colored rubber bands most patients are used to. These clips offer several advantages including protection from discoloration and quicker, easier adjustments. For many people, this could mean shorter visits and possibly shorter treatment time!

Because of the improved clip, lighter wires may be used during treatment. These lighter wires are more comfortable for the patient, and are notably easier to keep clean than heavier wires and brackets, giving you an even more beautiful, healthy smile than before!
