Clear Braces For A
Discreet Smile
Gullotta Orthodontics is the Gold Coast’s first choice for Clear Braces treatment.
What are clear braces?
Clear braces are a type of orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues with a more subtle appearance than traditional metal braces. They are made from clear or tooth-colored materials, which blend in with your teeth for a more discreet look while still being as effective as metal braces.
What are the benefits of Clear Braces?
Dr Nino Gullotta uses ceramic Damon braces. These ceramic braces are chosen by our patients for many reasons, including:
- Durability. They are extremely strong and just as robust and effective as their metal equivalents.
- Invisibility. Porcelain braces blend more effectively with most teeth colourings and are not as noticeable at a distance.
- Comfort. Our patients happily tell us their porcelain braces are comfortable and we believe they may not aggravate gums as much as metal can.
- More hygienic. Not having the elastic bands makes dental hygiene easier and less susceptible to a build-up of plaque.

Braces F.A.Q.
Putting your braces on isn’t painful. Once the teeth start moving, you can feel some discomfort as your teeth are moving towards their new positions. Any discomfort during orthodontic treatment can usually be controlled with normal pain relief medication like panadol.
Appointments are scheduled according to each patient’s needs. Most patients in braces will be seen every six to ten weeks.
Treatment times will vary but typical takes 18 to 24 months.
Yes. If you are playing a contact sport, you will need a mouthguard fitted over your braces.
When you first have your braces fitted, you may notice a slight change in the way you speak like a slight lisp. Once your tongue and lips get used to your braces, you will adjust and your speech should return to normal after a few weeks.
Hard, sticky, crunchy foods should be avoided because they can knock braces off the teeth. In addition, sugar intake should be reduced to minimize the risk of decay around the braces. Foods which should be avoided include:
- Minties and Toffee
- Caramels such as fantales
- Lollies
- Licorice
- Popcorn
- Peanuts
- Ice
- Corn chips
- French bread sticks, bread crusts or hard rolls
- Whole apples or carrots (cut them into pieces first)
- Corn on the cob (cut the corn off the cob before eating)
