Brackets that pick up the shade of your teeth, so fixed treatment draws far less attention.
Think of ceramic braces as the familiar fixed brace in a quieter colour. The mechanics are identical: brackets bonded to the teeth, a wire linking them, and steady adjustments. The brackets themselves are made from a clear or tooth-shade ceramic, which is why they fade into your smile.
We often suggest them to adults and older teenagers who need the control of a fixed appliance but would prefer it to be low-key. They can also be a good answer when a case is not well suited to aligners.
Our Specialist Orthodontists fit and adjust ceramic braces at the practice, with visits roughly every six to eight weeks. You will get straightforward guidance on brushing, and on the foods and drinks worth going easy on, so the brackets stay clear.
Ceramic brackets take on the colour of your teeth rather than standing out.
Bonded to the teeth, so there is no tray to remember or misplace.
Handles crowding, gaps and bite correction with real accuracy.
Fitted and reviewed in a practice built purely for orthodontics.
A Specialist Orthodontist oversees each stage, from the first scan to your retainers.
We examine your teeth and bite and explain whether ceramic brackets are a good match.
The brace is placed, then tightened in small steps at visits every six to eight weeks.
When the teeth are in place, the brackets are removed and retainers are fitted.
They do. Tooth movement is driven by the wire, so results are comparable. The main difference is how the brackets look.
Modern ceramic brackets resist staining well. We will explain which foods and drinks to limit and how to keep them clean.
A typical course runs from about one to two years, depending on what needs correcting. Your orthodontist will estimate this for you at the assessment.
The long-established brace, now slimmer and lighter, and still a strong choice for demanding cases.
