Ceramic braces give you the control of fixed orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance. They use tooth-colored or clear brackets designed to make your braces less noticeable while your teeth are being straightened.
At Ignite Orthodontics, orthodontics is all we do. Your treatment is planned and monitored by board-certified orthodontists who treat kids, teens, and adults.
From $99/month*
*Monthly payment depends on your treatment plan, insurance coverage, and payment arrangement.
Maybe you want to straighten your teeth, but you're not excited about having obvious metal brackets every time you smile.
You're not alone. For many patients, especially teens and adults, the appearance of braces is an important part of the decision.
Ceramic braces offer another option.
Instead of traditional metal-colored brackets, ceramic braces use brackets designed to blend more naturally with your teeth. You still get a fixed orthodontic appliance, but with a more subtle appearance.
And because your braces stay in place throughout treatment, you don't have to remember to put them in or take them out.
If you want the control of fixed braces with a more discreet look, ceramic braces may be worth considering.
Ceramic braces are a type of fixed orthodontic treatment that uses brackets attached to your teeth and an orthodontic wire to gradually move your teeth into better positions.
The brackets are made from a tooth-colored or clear ceramic material, which can make them less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Like other fixed braces, ceramic braces are attached to your teeth throughout treatment and adjusted periodically by your orthodontic team.
Your orthodontist will determine whether ceramic braces are appropriate based on your teeth, bite, treatment goals, and individual needs.
Ceramic braces can be used to address many of the same orthodontic concerns treated with fixed braces.
Depending on your individual case, treatment may help correct:
The right treatment depends on your specific orthodontic needs.
That's why your first step isn't choosing between ceramic braces, metal braces, or clear aligners. It's finding out what treatment is appropriate for you.
Ceramic braces can be an option for patients who want fixed orthodontic treatment but prefer a less noticeable appearance.
