Ceramic Braces

While they use a similar style, ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal braces. These braces are also called “clear braces” or “invisible braces” because they’re designed to match the shade of your teeth to make them less visible. It’s also possible for the wire to match your teeth and blend into your smile. This makes them popular for patients who want a more discreet treatment.

While this style of braces is a great cosmetic choice, the ceramic material is more likely to chip or break than its metal alternatives. In addition, the ceramic brackets can stain easily. Coffee, tea, wine, and other foods and beverages are known to discolor teeth will have the same effect on ceramic braces.
