Ceramic braces are an aesthetic option for orthodontic treatment that uses clear or tooth-colored brackets to blend with the natural color of the teeth. They work in the same way as traditional metal braces but are less noticeable, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers.
The ceramic brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected by a wire. The treatment is effective for correcting misalignments, overcrowding, and bite issues. Ceramic braces are adjusted periodically during follow-up appointments to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.
Although ceramic braces are less visible than metal braces, they may be more prone to staining and are generally more fragile. Patients must follow proper care instructions to maintain their appearance throughout treatment.
Ceramic braces offer a discreet and effective orthodontic treatment option, achieving a straighter smile with minimal aesthetic impact.
