Ceramic braces make a great choice for patients with alignment or bite issues. Ceramic braces operate much like the traditional train-track-style braces.

However, ceramic braces are more discreet as the brackets and wires are tooth coloured. For this reason, they are used primarily on older teenagers and adults who have cosmetic concerns. Just like traditional braces, during regular check-ups your dentist will gradually tighten the wires until your teeth are gently moved into the correct position.

Are ceramic braces hard to keep clean?

While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene because they can stain easily and since they are brittle, they can also chip or fracture.
