Ceramic braces in brief

Ceramic braces work in the same way as metal braces; the difference is that the brackets are made of a tooth-colored ceramic material. The brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected with a wire, so they are less noticeable than metal braces when you talk and smile.

They are often chosen by adults and teenagers with aesthetic expectations. Colored drinks such as tea and coffee can stain the elastics that hold the brackets; the elastics are changed at check-ups. Which treatment is suitable is decided at the orthodontic examination.

Braces or clear aligners apply a gentle, continuous force to the teeth. Over months the teeth move slowly into place and are then held there with a retainer.

Does it hurt when braces are fitted?

How long does treatment take?

In most cases it takes 12–24 months. The time depends on the severity of the problem and how well you follow the treatment.

At what age can braces be fitted?

They can be fitted for most children and teenagers once the permanent teeth have come in. They can also be fitted for adults if the gums are healthy.

What can’t I eat with braces?

Hard, sticky and chewy foods can make brackets come off. Avoid chewing gum, hard sweets and nuts in their shells.

Will my teeth move back after treatment?

If the retainer is not worn regularly, the teeth can shift. That is why you should follow the dentist’s advice after treatment.

Do ceramic braces work more slowly than metal braces?

Treatment time is mainly determined by the severity of the problem and compliance with treatment. Which braces are suitable is decided at the examination.

Do ceramic braces change color?

The brackets themselves usually keep their color. The elastics holding the brackets can be stained by drinks such as tea and coffee; these elastics are changed at check-ups.
