Ceramic Clear Braces For Kids And Adults


Ceramic braces are a translucent, tooth-colored alternative to traditional metal braces. They are used to correct the same dental issues as metal braces and clear aligners, which include overbites, underbites, crooked or crowded teeth, crossbites, and mismatched dental midlines. Ceramic braces are comprised of ceramic brackets, tooth-colored metal archwires, and elastic bands to help pull your teeth into correct alignment. Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces in their application, duration of treatment, and removal, however, ceramic braces offer patients a more discreet appearance so the appliance is not as noticeable when compared to traditional metal brackets. Ceramic braces are designed to blend seamlessly into your smile.

The main advantage of ceramic braces is their ability to fit any smile without being distracting or unattractive. Ceramic braces are popular with adult patients who are looking for braces which are almost invisible in photos and difficult to notice in face-to-face interactions, which comes in handy for work meetings. In addition, ceramic brackets may cause less irritation to your lips and gums thanks to their rounder, smoother shape when compared to traditional metal braces or self-ligating braces.
