Ceramic braces are a popular option for both adults and children because they are less noticeable than traditional metal ones. These are similar to traditional metal braces in terms of function, but they are made of clear or tooth-coloured materials, making them less noticeable on the teeth.
Because these brackets are clear or tooth-coloured, they blend in with the natural colour of the teeth, making them much less conspicuous than traditional ones. This can be particularly appealing for individuals who may feel self-conscious about the appearance of metal braces.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, ceramic braces are also known for being more comfortable than metal ones. The materials used in ceramic braces are typically smoother and gentler on the teeth and gums, reducing the potential for irritation or discomfort during the treatment process.
Ceramic braces can treat most common orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, overbites, and underbites. However, they are not always suitable for use on lower teeth. They work the same way as metal braces, with an orthodontist gradually tightening a wire to move your teeth.
While ceramic braces are a great option for individuals looking for a more discreet orthodontic treatment, there are some drawbacks to consider. One potential downside is that ceramic braces are more prone to staining than metal braces, so it is important to avoid consuming foods and beverages that may cause discolouration. Additionally, ceramic braces can be more expensive than traditional metal ones, so cost may be a factor to consider when choosing the best orthodontic treatment option.
Overall, ceramic braces are a great choice for individuals who are looking for a more discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment option. With their aesthetic appeal and comfortable design, ceramic braces offer a practical and attractive way to straighten teeth and achieve a beautiful smile.
Treatment time can range from 6 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
