Ceramic BracesCeramic Braces

Ceramic braces fuse the best of old and new when it comes to orthodontics.

Bringing together the reliable mechanics of traditional metal braces and a discreet design that’s cosmetically appealing. Created to blend in with your smile, ceramic braces will treat moderate and more complex alignment, spacing, bite and crowding issues.

What should I expect from treatment with ceramic braces?

In addition to examining your smile, during the initial consultation appointment we feel it’s important to ask you what you hope to achieve with treatment, and about the aspects of your smile you’re looking to improve. We will then create a tailored treatment plan, proceeding by taking impressions and photographs which will inform the design of your custom-made braces and brace hardware. When we receive your brace back from the lab, we can invite you back for a fitting and your ceramic braces journey can begin!

Ceramic braces work in the same way as traditional metal braces; they’re attached to your front tooth surfaces and an archwire is inserted into the brackets which applies pressure and guides your teeth into a healthy position. One of the fantastic recent developments in ceramic braces technology is the use of tooth-coloured archwires, making the brace even more in-keeping with your smile.

What makes ceramic braces so great?

• The best of both worlds: ceramic braces incorporate the reliable functions of the traditional metal brace, with a discreet custom design. The wires are tooth-coloured and the brackets are translucent, making them a close match for tooth enamel.
• Clear elastic bands: the bands used are clear or white and we will change them regularly so they don’t become stained.
• Confidence throughout your treatment: one of the biggest barriers for adult patients is the effect a brace has on their appearance and how this might affect their confidence, or even how they are perceived in environments such as the workplace. As the brace is designed to be cosmetically non-invasive, you can keep smiling with confidence around your colleagues, friends and family.
