Ceramic braces are similar to the metal braces, but they use clear or tooth-colored brackets rather than grey or metallic brackets.
Here are some important points to know about ceramic braces:
- These are manufactured with clear ceramic material and hence less visible; therefore, these brackets can be opted for by older individuals or adult patients who are much concerned about esthetics.
- As these are clear brackets, additional care needs to be taken in order to prevent the staining of the brackets.
- In terms of strength, ceramic brackets are usually strong, especially if they are high quality.
- Ceramic brackets are cost-effective because of their high esthetic property and less visibility.
