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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Proper care for ceramic braces includes:
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.
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.
