Choose Ceramic Braces: A Discrete Alternative to Metal

Braces are a great way to improve the appearance and health of your smile. Our ceramic tooth-colored braces are effective and may be less noticeable than metal braces for a more positive experience.

 

What Are Ceramic Braces?

If you are looking for braces that offer some of the benefits of traditional metal braces but are more aesthetically pleasing, you might want to consider ceramic braces. These discrete braces are similar to metal braces, but they are made of premium ceramic materials and are designed to offer a wide range of benefits.

Match Your Teeth

Brackets and wires for ceramic braces can come in many colors, so they match your teeth perfectly, minimizing their appearance, especially in pictures.

Less Likely to Stain

Clear ceramic braces are much less likely to stain than earlier materials used in clear braces. This gives you greater flexibility in what you eat and drink.

Can Not Be Removed

While invisible retainer systems are popular, it can be easy to forget to wear them. Ceramic braces can not be removed, so you know they are working 24/7 to straighten your teeth.

May Be More Comfortable

Some people who have had both say that ceramic braces are more comfortable than metal. This may be due to the materials used or the smaller brackets.
