What are Clear Ceramic Braces?

Clear ceramic braces are a discreet orthodontic treatment option that function like traditional metal braces but use tooth-coloured or transparent brackets and wires to blend with natural teeth. These braces provide effective teeth straightening while being less visually noticeable, making them popular among both adults and children who desire a more aesthetic alternative during treatment. The ceramic material is stain-resistant and durable, though slightly more expensive than metal braces, with treatment times typically ranging from one to three years depending on the complexity of the orthodontic issues being addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are clear ceramic braces?


Clear ceramic braces are orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. They consist of transparent or tooth-coloured ceramic brackets attached to the surface of your teeth, connected by similarly coloured wires and elastic bands. Unlike traditional metal braces, ceramic braces offer a more discreet appearance, making them a popular choice for adults and image-conscious patients seeking orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists.



Do clear ceramic braces turn yellow over time?


No, the ceramic brackets themselves do not turn yellow or discolour over time. This is a common misconception. The high-quality ceramic material used by London Dental Specialists remains clear throughout your treatment. However, the clear elastic bands (ligatures) that hold the wire to the brackets may discolour between appointments, especially if you consume staining foods and beverages. These elastics are replaced at each adjustment appointment, typically every 6-8 weeks.



How much do ceramic clear braces cost at London Dental Specialists?


At London Dental Specialists, ceramic braces cost slightly more than traditional metal braces. While metal braces are priced at £3,500 for both arches, ceramic braces have a modest premium. If you require treatment for just one arch (either upper or lower teeth), prices start from £1,250. During your consultation, our specialists will provide a detailed treatment plan with exact costs based on your specific orthodontic needs.



How long does treatment with ceramic braces take?


Treatment duration with ceramic braces at London Dental Specialists typically ranges from one to three years, similar to metal braces. The exact timeframe depends primarily on the severity of your malocclusion (bite problems) and individual treatment goals. Simple alignment issues may be resolved in less than a year, while more complex cases involving significant bite correction may require longer treatment periods. Your orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate during your initial consultation.



Are ceramic braces more fragile than metal braces?


Ceramic braces are slightly more brittle than metal braces, but modern materials have significantly improved their durability. At London Dental Specialists, we use high-quality ceramic brackets designed to withstand normal orthodontic forces. However, patients should be mindful when eating very hard foods that could potentially damage the brackets. With proper care and following dietary guidelines provided by our specialists, ceramic braces are a reliable and effective treatment option.



Can I clean ceramic braces the same way as metal braces?


Yes, the cleaning process for ceramic braces is essentially the same as for metal braces. We recommend:


  • Brushing after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Using interdental brushes to clean around brackets and under wires

  • Flossing daily with orthodontic flossers or floss threaders

  • Rinsing with an alcohol-free fluoride mouthwash

  • Attending regular cleaning appointments at London Dental Specialists


Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is particularly important with ceramic braces to prevent staining of the elastic ligatures.



Are ceramic braces suitable for all orthodontic cases?


While ceramic braces are suitable for many orthodontic cases, they may not be the optimal choice for every situation. At London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists will evaluate your specific needs to determine if ceramic braces are appropriate for your case. Generally, ceramic braces can effectively treat mild to moderate alignment issues and many bite problems. For very severe malocclusions or complex cases, our specialists might recommend alternative treatment options. We provide personalised recommendations based on thorough assessment of your dental condition.



Do ceramic braces require dietary restrictions?


Yes, ceramic braces do require some dietary modifications, similar to metal braces. To protect your brackets and wires, London Dental Specialists recommends avoiding:


  • Very hard foods (nuts, hard sweets, ice)

  • Sticky foods (toffee, caramel, chewing gum)

  • Foods that require biting with front teeth (apples, corn on the cob)

  • Excessive consumption of staining foods and drinks (curry, red wine, coffee)


Following these guidelines will help prevent damage to your braces and maintain their aesthetic appearance throughout treatment.



How often will I need adjustments with ceramic braces?


At London Dental Specialists, patients with ceramic braces typically require adjustment appointments every 6-8 weeks. During these visits, our specialists will change the elastic ligatures, adjust the archwires, and monitor your treatment progress. Regular adjustments are essential for effective tooth movement and ensuring your treatment stays on schedule. The exact frequency of appointments may vary based on your individual treatment plan and progress.
