Since ceramic braces are made of translucent materials, they are less noticeable on your teeth than metal braces. As a result, ceramic braces are often used on older teens and adult patients who are concerned about their appearance. Ceramic braces are larger and more porous than their metal equivalents, so they take more attention to oral hygiene. Ceramic braces are more often used on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Ceramic braces are structurally remarkably similar to metal braces. Brackets are bonded to your teeth in both methods, and the wires that straighten the teeth are held in place by the brackets. The main distinction is in the bracket. Ceramic braces are made of–you guessed it–ceramics, rather than metal. These braces are available in a variety of colours, including transparent and tooth-colored.
Ceramic braces have the apparent benefit of being almost undetectable. The main reason most people get braces is to get a more appealing smile in the long run, but the process of wearing them can make even the most self-assured of us feel self-conscious. Ceramic braces are less noticeable, resulting in fewer uncomfortable moments for the patient.
