Treatment overview
What are clear ceramic braces?
Clear ceramic braces are an aesthetic alternative to conventional metallic braces. Their brackets are tooth-coloured or clear, so the appliance is less visible while still using fixed-brace mechanics to move the teeth.
They can be a useful option for patients who want the control of braces with a more discreet appearance.
Treatment advantages
Why choose ceramic braces?
02
Increased comfort
Modern ceramic brackets are designed with smaller, rounded profiles for improved comfort.
03
Always working
Because ceramic braces are fixed to the teeth, treatment continues without relying on the patient remembering to wear removable trays.
The process
How does it work?
Ceramic braces are placed and used in much the same way as metallic braces. Because ceramic material is more brittle than metal, patients need to take care to reduce the chance of bracket fractures.
Clear brackets are commonly used on the more visible front teeth, while metal brackets may be used further back. Foods and drinks that can stain the appliance should be limited, and regular dental hygiene remains important throughout treatment.
Individual suitability
Who are ceramic braces suitable for?
Clear braces are particularly popular with teenagers and adults who prefer a less visible fixed appliance.
They can also be used in younger patients, but the additional care required around ceramic brackets means suitability is assessed individually at the consultation.
