Beautiful Results With Proven Performance

  • Crowded teeth
  • Spacing between teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Rotated teeth
  • General alignment concerns

FAQs About Champagne Brackets

Have questions about your orthodontic treatment? Below, we’ve outlined some of the most frequently asked questions we hear about these special brackets.

What are Champagne Brackets?

Also known as Iconix® Aesthetic Braces, they combine the strength of traditional stainless-steel braces with a beautiful champagne-colored finish. They are designed to blend more naturally with your teeth while delivering the same reliable orthodontic results as conventional metal braces.

Yes. They are just as effective as traditional metal braces for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites.

Both options are designed to be more discreet than traditional silver braces, but they have some key differences. Iconix® Aesthetic Braces are made from durable stainless steel with a champagne-colored finish, making them highly resistant to chipping or breaking. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored materials that may be more prone to damage in some situations. During your consultation, Dr. Dougherty can help you determine which option best fits your smile and lifestyle.

No. The champagne-colored finish on Iconix® Aesthetic Braces is designed to maintain its appearance throughout treatment. Unlike some clear orthodontic materials, the brackets themselves do not stain with everyday foods and beverages.

They are an excellent option for teens and adults who want the strength of traditional braces with a more subtle, stylish appearance. They can be used to treat many mild, moderate and complex orthodontic cases.

No. Treatment time is generally the same as with traditional metal braces. The length of treatment depends on your individual orthodontic needs and how well you follow your treatment instructions, including attending regular adjustment appointments.

Caring for these brackets is similar to caring for traditional braces. We recommend:

  • Brushing after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  • Flossing daily using orthodontic flossers or threaders.
  • Avoiding hard, sticky and chewy foods that could damage your braces.
  • Keeping all scheduled orthodontic appointments so we can monitor your progress.

Absolutely. Most patients continue participating in all of their normal activities while wearing them. If you play contact sports, we’ll recommend wearing a custom orthodontic mouthguard to protect your teeth and braces. If you play a wind instrument, there may be a short adjustment period, but most patients adapt quickly.

The best way to find out is to schedule a complimentary consultation at Dougherty Orthodontics.
