In today’s day and age of technology, modern braces and their evolution over the years have resulted in a more discreet treatment process and significantly faster treatment time.
At Berwick Orthodontic Specialists, Melbourne, we offer ceramic braces for an alternative, clear teeth straightening option.
Ceramic braces are a popular orthodontic solution for patients that wish to have a less noticeable treatment or those who have cosmetic concerns about traditional metal braces.
What are ceramic braces?
Ceramic braces provide the exact same goal and results as traditional metal braces, the only difference being that ceramic braces are made of a translucent material designed to blend into the colour of your natural teeth. This makes the braces nearly invisible in appearance.
Teenagers and young adults who have cosmetic concerns often opt for ceramic braces. However, ceramic braces do require more attention than traditional metal braces, as they are more fragile and can stain a lot easier.
As opposed to traditional metal braces, ceramic braces cannot fasten the treatment process and therefore, the treatment will take a little longer. This specific treatment time will vary depending on the complexity of the orthodontic case.
Advantages of ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are more discreet than metal braces. Although they are made in the same shape as traditional braces, the brackets used are smaller and appear more invisible than traditional braces.
Ceramic braces are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with smaller round brackets, it is less likely for the braces to cause discomfort or irritate your gums.
Similar to traditional braces, patients are able to add coloured bands to their braces for an additional aesthetic appeal.
How to clean ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are more susceptible to staining than traditional braces, however by taking the right steps in caring for your braces and ensuring you follow all the treatment instructions your orthodontist provides, you will not need to worry.
