Clear Ceramic Braces in Beverly, MA
Ceramic braces straighten your teeth with clear, tooth-colored brackets that blend into your smile and barely show.
Fixed in place, they work every hour of the day, moving each tooth with a precision and predictability that removable aligners cannot match.
For adults and teens who want a discreet, dependable path to straight teeth, this is it.
How Braces Straighten Teeth
Braces are the modern standard in fixed orthodontics. Each bracket bonds to a tooth, and a wire runs through them, guiding every tooth into position over the course of treatment.
The control comes from how the wire sits. Because it runs square in the bracket slot, the whole tooth moves as one unit, root and crown together, rather than tipping at the crown alone.
That is the straight wire technique, and it is how braces correct crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and rotated teeth with a precision that holds up from the first month to the last.
The Braces We Use
We match the type of braces to each arch and to how you want treatment to look and feel. Most patients wear a combination of both.
Ceramic Braces
Our clear ceramic braces are the discreet choice.
The brackets are tooth-colored and blend into the teeth, so they barely show, which is why we use them on the upper arch where they are most visible. You get the round-the-clock control of fixed braces with an appearance close to clear aligners, and none of the wear-time worry that comes with removable trays.
For most adults, this is the braces experience they picture when they want their teeth straightened without the braces announcing themselves.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces still have their place, and they have come a long way.
Our stainless steel brackets are smaller and more discreet than the ones you remember. We use them mainly on the lower arch, where strength matters most and they are least visible.
They are difficult to damage, impossible to lose, and they keep treatment on schedule because there is nothing to take out or forget.
Why Braces, Not Just Aligners
Clear aligners have their place, and for the right case they work well. But braces hold one clear advantage: they never come out.
Results That Do Not Depend on Willpower
An aligner only moves teeth while you wear it, which means the result depends on you keeping it in twenty-two hours a day, every day, for a year or more. Miss that mark and treatment stalls.
Fixed braces take the discipline out of the equation. They work every hour, correct complex movements that aligners struggle with, and give us full control over how each tooth moves. That is why, for bites and alignments that need reliable results, we often recommend braces.
If a removable option suits your case better, we offer that too. See clear aligners.

Straight Wire Braces FAQs
Most adult treatments run one to two years, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Simple corrections finish faster. Dr. Kuljic gives you a realistic timeline at your consultation, once he sees what the case involves.
You feel mild pressure for a day or two after the braces go on and after each adjustment, which is the teeth beginning to move. It settles quickly, and over-the-counter pain relief handles it if needed.
Less than they used to be. Today's metal brackets are smaller and lower-profile, and ceramic braces on the upper arch blend into the teeth so they barely show. Most people will not notice them unless they look closely.
It depends on your case. Braces give more control and do not rely on you wearing them, which makes them the more predictable choice for complex movements. Aligners suit milder cases where you want a removable option. We tell you honestly which fits your teeth.
Often, yes. Braces work around missing teeth and are one of the most effective fixes for crowding. We plan the treatment around what your mouth actually needs.
Straight wire braces are one of several ways we straighten teeth and correct the bite.
