What are Ceramic Braces?

Ceramic braces are a less visible orthodontic treatment option that function similarly to traditional metal braces but use clear or tooth-coloured brackets instead of metal ones. They effectively realign and straighten teeth while being more aesthetically pleasing, making them particularly popular among adult patients seeking a discreet alternative. Ceramic braces typically take between 18 to 36 months to complete treatment, moving teeth faster than clear aligners while remaining less noticeable than metal options. Though slightly less durable than metal braces and potentially more expensive (with costs typically higher than traditional braces), they offer an excellent balance between effectiveness and cosmetic appeal for patients concerned about the appearance of their orthodontic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are ceramic braces and how do they work?


Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional metal braces but are made from clear or tooth-coloured ceramic material. They consist of brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a thin archwire that gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment. At London Dental Specialists, our ceramic braces blend naturally with your tooth colour, making them a more discreet orthodontic option while effectively treating various alignment issues and malocclusions.



What is better, ceramic or metal braces?


Ceramic braces offer superior aesthetics as they're less visible than metal braces, making them popular among adults and image-conscious patients. However, ceramic brackets are less durable than metal ones, being more than twice as likely to break or fracture. Metal braces are generally stronger, more resistant to damage, and sometimes work slightly faster for complex cases. The best choice depends on your specific treatment needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences, which our specialists at London Dental Specialists can help determine during your consultation.



How much do ceramic braces cost in London?


Ceramic braces at London Dental Specialists typically cost more than traditional metal braces due to the materials used. The exact price depends on treatment complexity, duration, and specific requirements. We offer various payment plans to make treatment more affordable. For a personalised quote, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our orthodontic team who can assess your specific case and provide detailed pricing information.



Do ceramic braces take longer than metal braces?


Treatment time with ceramic braces is relatively similar to metal braces, typically ranging from one to three years depending on the severity of your malocclusion (bite problems). Some complex cases might progress slightly slower with ceramic braces as orthodontists sometimes use more gradual force adjustments to reduce the risk of bracket breakage. At London Dental Specialists, we provide realistic timeframes based on your individual treatment plan during your initial consultation.



Are ceramic braces more comfortable than metal braces?


Many patients find ceramic braces more comfortable than metal braces as the ceramic material has smoother edges that cause less irritation to cheeks and lips. However, all braces require an adjustment period. The brackets of ceramic braces are slightly larger than metal ones, which some patients may notice initially. Our team at London Dental Specialists provides detailed care instructions and dental wax to minimise any discomfort during your treatment.



Do ceramic braces stain easily?


The ceramic brackets themselves are resistant to staining, but the clear elastic ties used to hold the wire to the brackets can discolour if proper care isn't taken. Foods and drinks with strong colouring agents like coffee, red wine, curry, and tomato-based sauces may cause staining. At London Dental Specialists, we replace these ties at each adjustment appointment (typically every 6-8 weeks) and provide comprehensive guidance on dietary considerations to minimise staining.



How do I care for my ceramic braces?


Proper care for ceramic braces includes:


  • Brushing after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Flossing daily using floss threaders or water flossers

  • Avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage brackets

  • Limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages

  • Attending regular adjustment appointments at London Dental Specialists

  • Using a fluoride mouthwash to strengthen enamel and prevent white spots


Our orthodontic team provides personalised care instructions and all necessary tools to maintain your braces properly.



Are ceramic braces suitable for children and teenagers?


Ceramic braces are suitable for teenagers and children who are concerned about their appearance during treatment. However, younger patients should consider that ceramic braces require more careful maintenance and are more prone to damage. For very active children or those who may struggle with oral hygiene, metal braces might be more practical. At London Dental Specialists, we assess each young patient individually to recommend the most appropriate treatment option based on their specific needs, maturity level, and lifestyle.



What happens after ceramic braces are removed?


After ceramic braces are removed, you'll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. London Dental Specialists provides both fixed and removable retainer options. The retention phase is crucial as teeth naturally tend to shift back to their original positions. We typically recommend wearing retainers full-time initially, then transitioning to night-time wear. Our team will create a customised retention plan and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your results last. Professional teeth whitening is also available to perfect your smile after treatment completion.
