Leesburg Ceramic Braces
Discreet, Powerful Smile Transformations
At Legacy Orthodontics, Dr. Jeffrey Lombard offers clear braces for patients seeking a more subtle way to straighten their teeth.
These modern braces combine the effectiveness of traditional metal braces with a discreet, natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Clear Braces:
The Best of Both Worlds
Clear braces use ceramic brackets that match your tooth color, offering a more natural and less noticeable look during treatment. They work just like traditional metal braces, using brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into perfect alignment.
At Legacy Orthodontics, Dr. Jeff customizes your treatment to fit your specific needs, ensuring clear braces deliver the same reliable results as metal braces while giving you the confidence to smile freely during your orthodontic journey.
Clear braces offer an aesthetic solution without compromising effectiveness, whether you’re fixing spacing issues, alignment concerns, or bite irregularities.
How Clear Braces Work
Clear braces function like metal braces, with brackets bonded to your teeth and wires that gradually move them into place. The key difference? The brackets are made from tooth-colored ceramic, making them blend in more naturally.
This innovative design provides the strength and precision of traditional braces while offering a more discreet appearance. At Legacy Orthodontics, Dr. Jeff uses advanced techniques to ensure your treatment is efficient, comfortable, and personalized.

Stylish Standards
You can smile confidently throughout your treatment without feeling self-conscious. Clear braces are far less noticeable than metal braces, making them a perfect choice for teens, adults, and professionals who want a more subtle orthodontic option.
Their natural look and sleek design, as well as clear braces, let you focus on achieving your new smile without worrying about how your treatment looks along the way.
Colorful Accessories
Clear braces don't just blend in—they can stand out in the best way! With colorful bands that pop even more than metal braces, kids have fun customizing their look. Once they see the bold, bright colors, they get excited about treatment and love showing off their smiles!

At Legacy Orthodontics, Dr. Jeff ensures each treatment plan is customized for optimal outcomes, so you can count on clear braces to transform your smile effectively.
Comfortable & Durable
The smooth ceramic material of clear braces is designed to reduce irritation, ensuring a more comfortable experience compared to metal brackets. They’re gentle on your gums and cheeks, so you can focus on your day without distractions.
While they’re discreet, clear braces are also highly durable and capable of handling orthodontic treatment demands for patients of all ages.
Clear Braces vs. Metal Braces: What’s Right for You?
Both clear and metal braces offer potent solutions for straightening your teeth, but there are some key differences to consider when choosing the best treatment for your needs.
Appearance
Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend with your natural tooth color, making them much less noticeable than metal braces. This makes them a great option for patients who prioritize discretion during treatment.
Metal braces, however, have a shiny, stainless-steel look that is more visible but equally effective.
Durability
While metal braces are slightly stronger due to their stainless steel material, clear braces are still highly durable. They’re built to handle most orthodontic treatments with ease, though patients should take extra care to avoid hard or sticky foods.
Comfort
Clear braces are designed with smooth ceramic brackets, which are less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks. This makes them a more comfortable choice for many patients.
Metal braces, while effective, may cause slightly more discomfort due to their metal materials, especially in the initial stages of treatment.
Cost
Clear braces are slightly more expensive than metal braces due to the materials used. However, many patients find the added discretion and comfort well worth the investment.
At Legacy Orthodontics, we offer flexible financing options to make clear braces accessible for every budget.
Caring for Your Clear Braces
Proper care is essential for maintaining your ceramic braces and ensuring effective treatment. Here are some tips to keep your braces and teeth in great shape:
Foods to Avoid
To prevent damage to your clear braces, avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods.
Foods like popcorn, nuts, and chewing gum can break brackets and wires, prolonging your treatment time. Stick to softer foods and cut harder items into smaller pieces.
Daily Oral Hygiene
Maintaining good oral hygiene is important when you have clear braces.
Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and around the brackets.
Regular Checkups
Keep up with your regular orthodontic appointments to ensure your braces are functioning correctly.
Dr. Jeff will make any necessary adjustments and monitor your progress. These visits are crucial for unlocking the best possible results.
