What Are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces are fitted to the front of your teeth and consist of subtle, clear or tooth-coloured brackets with metal wires running through them. Because the brackets match the natural colour of your teeth, they are far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
They work in exactly the same way as metal braces — applying gentle, consistent pressure to guide your teeth into the correct position — but with a far more discreet appearance.
Who Are Ceramic Braces For?
Ceramic braces are ideal for patients who want an effective fixed brace solution without the obvious look of metal braces. They are suitable for both teenagers and adults seeking a more subtle orthodontic treatment.
