Ceramic Fixed Braces

Ceramic Fixed Braces Fleckney Dental, Leicester.

Ceramic braces are a popular treatment option to straighten your teeth. Both adults and children can benefit from ceramic fixed braces. Ceramic braces are a lot like traditional metal braces. However, the materials used are different. The braces are made of transparent ceramic rather than metal. The transparent wires make the braces less noticeable.

Ceramic braces are a good treatment option for a more discreet fixed teeth straightening treatment.

Ceramic braces are one of the most comfortable options for dental realignment. Their smaller rounded brackets and ceramic material make them less likely to cause discomfort or irritate your gums. Overall, the experience of ceramic braces is much more bearable than its metal counterparts.

Benefits of ceramic braces

• They’re less visible than metal braces. The ceramic material used in these braces can be either clear or tooth-coloured.
• They move teeth faster than clear aligners (Invisalign®). Ceramic braces take about 18 to 36 months to straighten your teeth. Popular clear-alignment methods, such as Invisalign®, can take a year or longer to work, even if your teeth don’t require much correction. Also, clear alignment methods don’t work for severe cases of misalignment or malocclusion (a crooked bite).
• You can choose your colours. Metal braces only come in one colour: grey (or shiny metallic silver, if available). Ceramic braces are available in nearly any colour imaginable.
• They don’t interfere with imaging tests. Metal braces can disrupt signals in imaging tests. Ceramic braces produce much less signal interference.
