What Are Ceramic Braces and How Do They Work?

Ceramic teeth braces are an advanced orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth discreetly. Unlike traditional metal braces, which feature noticeable metal brackets and wires, ceramic braces use teeth-coloured brackets made from ceramic. The arch wires used in ceramic braces blend seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth, further enhancing their discreet appearance.

We use high-quality white ceramic brackets from 3M Unitek. These fixed ceramic braces are glued to your teeth, and the wires are attached to reposition your teeth efficiently and comfortably.

Maintaining Oral Hygiene with Ceramic Braces

5 reasons you should change your toothbrush

Good oral hygiene is crucial during any orthodontic treatment. Ceramic braces – like with any orthodontic appliance, can make it more challenging to clean your teeth properly. Regular hygiene check-ups, fluoride mouthwash, and meticulous brushing and inter dental brushing and Water flosser/pik are essential to prevent the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Retention after orthodontic treatment

After completing treatment with ceramic braces, teeth retainers are used to keep your teeth in their new positions. We typically provide either removable or fixed retainers, which are thin wires bonded to the back of your teeth.

Over time, retainers may wear out or come loose, and they may need to be replaced, which could incur additional fees. We offer both removable and fixed retainers. Removable retainers are similar to clear aligners but are non-pressurized, while fixed retainers are thin wires bonded to the back of your teeth.

Ceramic Braces London FAQs

Orthodontic patients generally find ceramic braces more comfortable to wear than metal ones. The high-quality materials are less abrasive, so they won’t irritate your gums or the sides of your mouth (a common complaint about metal brace wearers).

The ceramic brackets of your braces will never stain as they are resistant to discolouration. However, the clear elastic bands we use to attach the arch wire to your brackets can stain – and this can make your braces much more visible.

When wearing ceramic braces, you should avoid:

Sticky sweets and toffees
Nuts, crisps and pretzel

The primary risks with any orthodontic treatment, including ceramic braces, involve potential tooth decay and gum disease. Because braces and other devices can make cleaning teeth and gums more challenging, it’s crucial to maintain excellent oral hygiene. Regular dental check-ups, use of fluoride mouthwash, Interdental cleaning and Water pik/flosser and thorough brushing are recommended to prevent these issues.

Clear ceramic braces are suitable for most patients who need orthodontic treatment for misalignment or gaps. They are ideal for those who prefer a less noticeable option compared to traditional metal braces. Your orthodontist will assess your dental condition during an initial consultation to determine if ceramic braces are the best choice for you.

Yes, children can get ceramic braces, typically starting around ages 12 to 14, when most adult teeth have emerged.
