Ceramic braces are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal. The brackets are made from tooth-colored or clear materials, which blend with the natural color of teeth. This makes them far less noticeable than metal braces, making them an attractive option for adults and teenagers who prioritise appearance during orthodontic treatment.
Despite their discreet appearance, ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces in addressing mild to severe orthodontic issues, such as crowding, gaps, and bite issues.
For those looking for a balance between effectiveness and subtlety, ceramic braces offer a great solution.
Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces in design, so patients may experience initial discomfort or rubbing after they are fitted or adjusted. This is temporary and will get better within days of the brace being fitted.
Ceramic braces are a popular orthodontic treatment option for individuals seeking a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces. While they share the reliability of metal braces in function and the brackets are less visible, the clear elastic modules that hold the wire in can discolor if eating foods such as curries or tomato based meals.
