Looking for straighter teeth, without the look of traditional braces?
Ceramic braces, also known as porcelain braces, are much less noticeable than metal braces. The only difference between the two is the material that the brackets are made of. Ceramic braces are virtually clear, with the most visible part being the wire running through the brackets. This is why this orthodontic choice is also referred to as invisible braces.
Adults and some teens prefer the look of our ceramic braces! There is also no difference in cost between ceramic and metal braces, so it is just a personal choice. If you are interested in a different alternative to braces, many adults also consider ClearCorrect, a brand of dental aligners that are removable teeth straightening devices.
Ceramic braces work just like traditional braces and can be used to fix the following problems:
- Crowded, overlapped teeth
- Too much spacing between teeth
- Turned or misplaced teeth
- Problems with the bite, including crossbite, open bite, underbite and overbite
