Ceramic braces, sometimes called clear braces, are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. Though they aren't recommended for extreme cases, your favorite Glendale orthodontist knows that ceramic braces can be a wonderful alternative for more mild cases.
The idea of clear braces first became popular in the 1980s. Luckily, technological advances and product developments have changed them quite significantly from when they were first introduced so they are now stronger and better than ever! Made out of a ceramic composite, these braces no longer stain and are quite comparable to the strength of traditional metal braces.
The Pros of Clear Ceramic Braces
- It's been said that ceramic braces don't irritate the gums as much as traditional braces do.
- They are designed to blend in well with the teeth; the two basic shades are a white and slightly darker off white color.
- They are strong and don't usually chip or break.
The Cons of Clear Ceramic Braces
- Since the rubber bands used on ceramic braces will be clear or white, they can often stain if not taken care of properly.
- The brackets are larger and more expensive.
- They are not recommended for extensive treatment.
