Have you been dreaming of a straighter smile but worried about the “metal mouth” look or perhaps the discomfort of braces? We understand! At Dr. Kirk Bartlett's practice, we offer cosmetic brace options in Victoria, Duncan, and Sooke. From day one, our braces will help you achieve a perfect smile and give you the confidence to brace yourself for compliments and flash those pearly whites to the world!


Your Concerns, Our Solutions


  • Worried about appearance? Our clear ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them nearly invisible. Additionally, we offer Incognito hidden braces placed behind your teeth for complete discretion, so no one will even know you're wearing them.

  • Concerned about discomfort? Today's cosmetic braces are more comfortable than ever. You'll experience minimal discomfort as your teeth gently shift into positions.

  • Want to maintain your lifestyle? Our clear aligners, like Invisalign, are removable, giving you the confidence to eat all your favourite foods while maintaining your oral hygiene routine without any hassle.


How Do Clear Ceramic Braces Work?


Here's how the process typically unfolds:


1. Consultation

 

Consult an orthodontist to assess your teeth's condition and determine if clear ceramic braces are the best option for you. This will help you make an informed decision based on your needs and goals.


2. Placement

 

If you decide to proceed with clear ceramic braces, your orthodontist will bond the brackets to the front surface of your teeth. These brackets are made from a translucent ceramic material that closely matches the colour of your enamel.


3. Archwire and Elastic Ties 


An archwire is threaded through the brackets, connecting them. Elastic ties or clear ligatures hold the wire in place. These components apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting your teeth into position.


4. Adjustments


Throughout your treatment, you'll visit your orthodontist periodically for adjustments. During these appointments, they may replace the archwire or adjust the tension to continue guiding your teeth towards alignment.


The Life-Changing Impact of Cosmetic Braces


Cosmetic braces provide more than just a beautiful smile. They offer improved oral health by making it easier to clean your teeth daily, which lowers the chances of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, a confident smile can personally and professionally transform your life. Lastly, properly aligned teeth improve your ability to chew and speak clearly, enhancing your overall function.


Are you looking to boost your confidence with a brighter smile? Whether you are experiencing problems with crowded teeth, an overbite, or gaps, we offer treatments that can turn your smile into a beautiful and functional one that boosts your confidence.
