Can I have discreet clear braces on my bottom teeth?
Q.
I’m 23 years old and I’m having braces fitted in a few weeks. I discussed with my orthodontist about having Radiance brackets. I though these would be on the upper and lower teeth but I’ve just found out that they can’t do them on the lower, why is this? Can anything be done to make the metal brackets on the lower teeth look less noticeable? Wont it look silly having clear on the top and metal on the bottom.

There are clear ceramic brackets available that can be used on the upper and lower teeth. Perhaps this would be a good idea?
Perhaps the dentist was thinking more about comfort- as the metal brackets are often less bulky.
You cant always notice the lower brackets as much as your lip hides them- this all depends on how wide your smile is. Good luck with your braces 🙂
