Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work by applying continuous pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time. Like traditional braces, they also incorporate wires and elastic bands to facilitate this movement.

Typically, ceramic braces are slightly more expensive than metal braces due to the higher cost of materials and manufacturing. However, the difference in cost may vary depending on factors such as the orthodontist's fees and the complexity of the treatment.

1. Consultation: Your treatment begins with your orthodontic consultation. Your orthodontist will assess your teeth, discuss your goals and set clear outcomes.
2. Custom treatment plan: Using scans, models and X-rays, your orthodontist will carefully create your treatment plan including the approximate treatment time.
3. Adjustments: Regular appointments and adjustments ensure progress is maintained towards your orthodontic goals. These appointments usually take place once every two months.
4. Removing braces: Once treatment has been completed, you'll be ready to unveil your new smile.

They give you the proven results that come with traditional braces, while also providing a more subtle alternative. You do need to take care of your ceramic braces during your treatment. Try to avoid eating overly chewy or crunchy foods that may cause damage to your braces. You will also need to brush and floss your teeth regularly and thoroughly so there is no discoloration or build-up of plaque. As with all orthodontic treatment, you may experience some discomfort after your braces are fitted or adjusted. This is only temporary until your teeth, lips and cheeks have adjusted.
