"LOVE Half Moon Orthodontics! Amazing first time visit and I highly reccomend. We walked in and the receptionist was so sweet and helpful. She made the most thoughtful welcome sign which my son noticed immediately 🙂 The doctor came out and greeted us and took my sons x rays to get fitted for aligners. We ended up getting two sets for him and I am a former smile direct member so I will be coming here for my sets soon too."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are clear braces really invisible?

Clear braces use tooth-colored or translucent ceramic brackets and clear wires, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. While not completely invisible, they blend in seamlessly with your natural smile.

Yes, but you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the ceramic brackets or wires. It’s also best to minimize foods that easily stain, like curry or mustard.

Yes! However, drinking deeply pigmented liquids like coffee, red wine, dark sodas, or tea can stain the clear elastic bands around your brackets. Drinking through a straw or rinsing with water afterward helps prevent staining.

No, clear braces are fixed to your teeth for the duration of your treatment. Because they are permanently in place, they work 24/7 without the risk of losing or forgetting them.

Adjustments typically take place every 4 to 8 weeks. During these visits, we monitor your progress, adjust the wires, and replace any elastic ties to keep your treatment on track.
