Ceramic braces are much less obvious than fixed metal braces because the brackets are made of a hard, polished ceramic. This ceramic blends in with the colour of your teeth and doesn’t stain, providing a discreet treatment option if you’re self-conscious about having orthodontic treatment. In some instances, it may be possible to consider an aesthetic wire to further reduce the visual impact of the ceramic braces. There are several types of ceramic brackets.
A clear ceramic bracket with glass-like appearance allows your natural tooth colour to show through. Ceramic brackets are cemented to the teeth in the same way as metal brackets and with improved modern design they are now easily removed. Ceramic braces are also one of the more affordable treatment options, making them extremely popular with our adult patients.
Ceramic braces are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for those seeking a more discreet, aesthetically pleasing option. Made of clear or tooth-coloured materials, ceramic braces blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, making them a subtle yet effective choice for teens and adults alike who want to straighten their teeth without the visible look of metal.With the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces, ceramic braces can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild misalignment to more complex bite problems.
While they are slightly more delicate than metal braces, their ability to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth makes them a top choice for patients who prioritise aesthetics.
Ceramic braces work just like traditional braces, using brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. The difference lies in the materials—ceramic braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that are less noticeable than metal.
During treatment, your orthodontist will attach ceramic brackets to your teeth using a special adhesive and connect them with a thin wire. The wire is periodically adjusted to move your teeth into the correct alignment. Though ceramic brackets are larger than metal brackets, they are much less visible, which is why many people opt for them.
