Clear braces are similar to traditional metal braces in that they use a thin metal wire as a track on which the brackets move, as the teeth shift into their proper alignment. However, the brackets in clear braces are made from pure monocrystalline sapphire and are almost invisible. For a completely clear, virtually invisible way to straighten teeth, Dr. MacAlpine offers his teenage and adult orthodontics patients in Asheville the revolutionary Invisalign® system.

The clear braces are more fragile than the metal braces and may not be recommended for younger children, or patients with certain types of malocclusions. See similar questions...

Many homeowners like the look of their newly stacked log home and want to keep it looking just like the day it was erected. If your desire is for a "clear stain," your best choice is a stain color that most closely matches the color of your wood. It will stabilize color and far outlast any clear finish. The reality is that in manufacturing the log home, you have removed all of the natural defenses that trees have. Since they are no longer living, the sap and resins no longer nourish the fibers.

Braces (also called orthodontic appliances) can be as inconspicuous—or as noticeable—as you like. Brackets—the part of the braces that attach to each tooth—are smaller and can sometimes be attached to the back of the tooth, making the brackets less noticeable. Brackets may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic or a combination of these materials. Some brackets are clear or tooth-colored. See similar questions...

The brackets themselves usually do not stain. It's the elastic ligatures that hold the arch wire to the bracket that stains. These are changed at each adjustment, when you get fresh clean ones. So, if your ligatures or power chains stain, you'll only have to live with it for a short time. See similar questions...

The best tool with which to apply toners, semi-transparent, and clear coatings is usually a brush. It allows you to work the product into the wood pores. Pads on a stick work well also. If you attach the pad to a stick you don't have to bend over if you are staining decks and porches. See similar questions...
