Ceramic braces are a common alternative to metal braces, although they aren’t recommended for every case. Ceramic braces can be a beautiful alternative to metal
braces .Ceramic braces were introduced back in the 1980s with the idea of making less visible braces came about.Back in the day, plastic brackets were used for invisible braces, but plastic is porous so it tends to stain more easily. The ceramic composite with standard brands now solves that problem, making ceramic braces a great option.The braces blend in and basically disappear on the teeth. They generally don’t stain, although the ligatures are slightly prone to stains especially if you drink coffee, smoke, or take coloured food regularly.
Advantages of Ceramic Braces
- Ceramic braces either have semi-translucent ceramic brackets, which are better for very white teeth, or tooth-colored ceramic, which is better for slightly darker teeth. Either way, they blend in well.
- Ceramic braces are strong, especially if they are high-quality. They usually don’t chip or break unless they are badly abused.
Drawbacks of Ceramic Braces
- Ceramic brackets are more expensive than metal brackets. They are also bigger, but they blend in with teeth so this isn’t an issue for most patients.
- Like traditional metal braces, ceramic braces use clear or white ligatures to hold the archwire in place. The ligatures are little rubber bands, so they can stain because they’re porous. They’re changed at every adjustment.
- Because ceramic brackets can’t withstand as much pressure as metal brackets can, ceramic braces are not recommended for people who need extensive treatment.
