The before shows Iconix gold brackets upper and lower. These are a FAR better alternative than clear brackets. The warmer colour is more subtle and the brackets are actually still awesome tooth moving handles!
Clear brackets have one advantage - they're clear.
Downsides include: they can chip teeth, they have higher friction, they slow treatment, they are larger (generally) which increases patient discomfort and reduces interbracket space, they can shatter, debonds can be brutal (highly recommend DB Spa aesthetics if you absolutely MUST have clear)
The After shows an Invisalign bond up. There are 18 attachments in this smile... Can you spot them all? As usual the upper canines are the most prominent due to the shape of the arch. There are 4 pretty chunky attachment on the upper incisors but you struggle to see them all.
