Ceramic braces are clear braces used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. They work like traditional metal braces but are less visible. Ceramic braces are tooth-coloured, which makes them blend with the natural tooth colour to provide an aesthetically-pleasing look. They have a translucent appearance, so you can smile confidently without worrying about your appearance.
Patients with the following dental issue can get a ceramic brace.
On your first appointment, the orthodontist will examine your teeth and bite to diagnose your dental problem and fully discuss this with you.
The orthodontist will bond the ceramic brace to the surface of your teeth and then use the most suitable wire based on your treatment needs. Metal brackets are always fitted on the top and molars since they aren't visible when you smile or talk.
The fitting process takes about an hour. You will be scheduled for your next appointment, usually after 6-8 weeks. On your next appointment, the orthodontist will tighten or replace the wire. Ensure you attend all your check-ups during ceramic braces treatment.
Although ceramic braces are durable and strong, you need to care for them to ensure they last longer. The following are care tips for ceramic braces.
Your orthodontist will discuss your ceramic braces treatment, including its cost. Generally, ceramic braces are more expensive than traditional metal braces, but investing in your smile is worth it.
