What are Ceramic Braces, and How Do They Work?

Ceramic braces are made of a translucent material that blends in with the color of your teeth. They are less noticeable than other orthodontic treatments, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.

Ceramic braces work like metal braces, using brackets and wires to move your teeth into their proper position. The brackets are attached to your teeth with a special dental adhesive, and the wires are threaded through the brackets.

What is the Process?

The process of getting ceramic braces is similar to the process of getting metal braces. First, you will have a consultation with our team to discuss your treatment goals and determine if ceramic braces are the right choice.

Then, we will take impressions of your teeth and use them to create a custom treatment plan. Once your braces are ready, we will attach them to your teeth with a unique dental adhesive.

You will need to come in for regular adjustments so that we can continue moving your teeth into their proper position.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

The answer to this question depends on various factors, including the severity of the misalignment and the patient’s age. In general, treatment with ceramic braces typically takes 12-18 months. Many patients find that the time needed is worth it for the improved aesthetics of their smile.

How to Care for Your Teeth During Ceramic Braces Treatment

Caring for your teeth during ceramic braces treatment is similar to caring for your teeth with metal braces. You will need to brush and floss regularly to maintain good oral hygiene. It is also essential to avoid foods that can damage your braces, such as hard candy or gum.

If you have any questions about how to care for your teeth during treatment, our team will be happy to help.

How Much do Ceramic Braces Cost?

The cost of ceramic braces varies depending on the severity of misalignment and treatment length. However, in general, ceramic braces cost more than metal braces. Many patients find that the extra cost is worth it due to the aesthetic upgrade that ceramic braces provide and the fact that they align teeth just as effectively as traditional braces.

The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to schedule a consultation with our team. We will thoroughly evaluate your dental situation and present you with some prices and options for treatment.

Ceramic Braces vs. Clear Aligners

Ceramic braces and clear aligners are popular for adults looking for orthodontic treatment. Both options offer several benefits, including improving your teeth’ alignment and your smile’s aesthetics.

However, there are some key differences between these two options. Both ceramic braces and clear aligners offer discreet treatment, but ceramic braces can be more noticeable than clear aligners. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them the most discreet option for orthodontic treatment.
