Are metal braces more efficient than inspire ice clear braces? (Photo)

Thanks for posting the photograph. Yes, your upper anterior teeth are retroclined now. It's my advice to go with aligners instead of metal braces. Because torque correction is very difficult with any kind of braces. It is very fast and controlled with aligners.

Obviously, the metal braces are more efficient than ice braces. The metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel and can be bonded directly to the surface of the tooth. These braces are very efficient, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. In contrast to metal braces, the ice braces are made of a clear or tooth colored material. But, the ice braces are more fragile and the elastic ties can discolor between the visits of dentists.

Well, this is my opinion, you are free to choose any of the two dental braces and get consultation one of the experienced dental hygienist in Katy.

Dear sayanee,Thank you for posting your question on RealSelf.  I will do my best to answer your questions with the information provided.  I am not completely familiar with the Ice brackets, because I use a different company.  In my experience, clear braces treated around the same time as metal braces.  Regarding torque, it is not the braces that are causing it most likely.  It's the mechanics that your orthodontist is using to close the spaces.I recommend addressing these concerns with your existing orthodontist.  If you don't feel comfortable with his answer, I suggest seeking a second opinion from another local orthodontic specialist.I hope that this helps and good luck.Best,Dr. Jenn
