Book a Free ConsultationClear Braces, Ceramic Braces and Clear Aligners
Families around Midland ask for clear braces and often mean three different treatments. Here is how they actually differ, so you know what to ask for at your free consultation.
- Ceramic braces, also called clear braces, use tooth-colored brackets fixed to the front of your teeth. They stay on for the whole treatment and handle the same tooth movements as traditional metal braces.
- Clear aligners such as Invisalign are removable trays with no brackets at all. They suit a wide range of cases and depend on wearing them consistently through the day and night.
- Lingual braces sit behind the teeth, so nothing shows from the front at all.
Dr. Bonolo walks through all three at your visit, whether you are looking at braces for adults or braces for kids and teens. Patients travel to us from Odessa and across the Permian Basin.

Common Questions
Are ceramic braces more expensive than metal?
Pricing depends on your treatment plan, not just the bracket type. Your free consultation includes exact options and payment plans for your case.
Do ceramic braces stain?
Modern ceramic brackets resist staining. The elastic ties can pick up color from coffee or curry, and we swap them fresh at each visit.
Who are ceramic braces best for?
Teens and adults who want dependable treatment with a lower-profile look. Dr. Bonolo will confirm fit for your bite at the free consultation.
How long does treatment with ceramic braces take?
Most cases run 12 to 30 months, the same range as metal braces. Dr. Bonolo maps your timeline at the free consultation once she has reviewed your scans.
Can teens get clear braces?
Yes. Ceramic braces are a popular pick for teens who want a lower-profile look and are not ready for removable trays. See braces for kids and teens for what treatment looks like at each age.
Are clear braces the same as Invisalign?
No. Clear or ceramic braces are fixed brackets that stay on your teeth. Invisalign uses removable clear trays. Both straighten teeth discreetly, and Dr. Bonolo will tell you which one suits your bite.
