Will these braces be invisible?
No. Ask to understand the visible components and any additional appliances.
Before choosing treatment, start with what worries you
Cheonan clarity ultra fixed bracesCan braces feel acceptable at work without compromising the treatment goal?
You may want fixed treatment but feel self-conscious about wearing visible brackets in meetings or photographs. Looking for a less conspicuous appliance is reasonable. It is also important to know that the bracket’s appearance is only one part of treatment; the required movement, cleaning and the way your teeth meet still drive the plan.
You can take time to understand your options before deciding.
01 / The questions behind the treatment name01 02 03
You deserve to understand what this means for your life.
Does this bracket mean faster treatment?
No individual duration can be promised from the bracket name.
Will I need extractions?
Space and treatment objectives determine that discussion, not the appearance of the bracket.
02 / Benefits and burdens
Benefits and burdens
What may improve
A fixed appliance with less conspicuous components may suit appearance concerns.
What to weigh up
Visible parts, cleaning demands, breakages and treatment discomfort still need consideration.
The question that helps you choose
Compare appliance characteristics within a clinically appropriate movement plan.
03 / Make sense of your own situation01 02 03
What changes the choice of treatment?
Choose the treatment objective before the bracket
Assess alignment, bite, available space and supporting tissues first. Ask which movements are needed and why a fixed appliance is being proposed. The Clarity Ultra name does not determine extraction need, treatment duration or the final result. A bracket should support an appropriate plan rather than be the reason for it.
Compare appearance with practical responsibilities
Less conspicuous components may appeal to someone concerned about visibility, but wires or additional appliances can still be noticeable. Ask what will actually be fitted. Cleaning around brackets and adapting food choices remain necessary. Discuss your concerns about speech, public-facing work or breakages so the routine can be planned realistically.
Understand adjustment and finishing
Regular reviews allow movement, bite and appliance condition to be assessed. A broken bracket or uncomfortable wire may require advice outside the planned appointment. Ask how finishing is judged and which retainers are proposed. Removing the brackets does not mean the teeth will remain in the same position without ongoing retention.
Benefits and burdens
Potential benefits
Fixed brackets do not depend on remembering to insert removable trays.
Appearance preferences can be considered alongside bite and alignment goals.
Benefits and burdens
Limitations and risks
A bracket brand cannot eliminate root, gum, decay or relapse risks.
Additional wires, elastics or appliances may still be required.
Clarity Ultra: appliance through retention
This illustrates ceramic fixed appliances. Scope and duration follow diagnosis; a package or appliance name alone does not determine speed or outcome.
- 01
Bond the appliance
After preparing dental and gum health, brackets are bonded at planned positions and an initial wire connected.
- 02
Align and manage space
Movement is reviewed regularly while wires and other planned measures address alignment and space.
- 03
Refine the bite
Upper and lower contacts and remaining position differences guide finishing adjustments.
- 04
Remove and retain
After active treatment, appliances are removed and tooth surfaces cleaned before retention and reviews.

04 / Treatment and everyday life
Plan for the time between appointments, too.
Use the demonstrated cleaning tools around brackets and keep dental check-ups.
Report damage or persistent irritation and follow the prescribed retention plan after treatment.
Costs, time and follow-up
Ask for a plan you can understand and manage.
What does the estimate include?
Ask which examinations, temporary stages, final treatment, retainers or maintenance, and repairs are included. The scope depends on your findings and chosen plan. A headline price cannot describe every person’s total cost. Ask how a change in the plan would be explained and agreed before it goes ahead.
Clinic fee information →How will visits fit into my life?
Bring previous records if you have them, your medication list and the practical limits on travel or time off work. Ask what each visit is for, what may change the timetable, and who to contact if something feels wrong. You do not need to promise to start treatment at the first conversation.
Location and visiting information →05 / Questions worth asking again
Uncertainty is a good reason to ask another question.
Are these always preferable to metal braces?
No. Appearance, planned movement, handling and maintenance needs should be compared for your case.
Do I need fewer appointments?
The review schedule follows treatment requirements, not a promise associated with a particular bracket.
What if a bracket comes off?
Contact the team for advice and keep any detached part if practical. Do not glue it back yourself.
Can I switch to aligners later?
A change requires reassessment and may affect scope, time and cost. Discuss the reasons and options first.
Take these questions to your consultation
After your questions, meet the people you may speak with
