Ceramic fixed braces
Ceramic fixed braces offer the effectiveness of traditional metal braces with a more subtle appearance. Made from tooth-coloured or clear materials, these braces blend with your natural teeth, making them an excellent option for patients seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.
How ceramic braces work
Ceramic braces function the same as metal braces, but the brackets are made of a tooth-coloured or clear ceramic material. The brackets are bonded to each tooth and a thin archwire runs through the brackets, connecting the teeth and applying gentle pressure.
Dr Hirani will periodically tighten or adjust the archwire to maintain the right pressure for steady tooth movement. At SmileLux, we use custom-shaped SureSmile® wires designed to straighten teeth more efficiently and accurately.
Advantages of ceramic braces
Here are some of the key benefits of ceramic brace treatment:
- Discreet Appearance: Tooth-coloured or clear brackets are less noticeable than metal braces.
- Versatile treatment: Ceramic braces can treat a variety of issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites and other alignment issues.
- Stain-resistant: The ceramic material resists staining, so the braces remain discreet throughout treatment.
- Reliable Outcomes: Delivers consistent, predictable results comparable to traditional metal braces.
