    Treatment Procedures for Clear Ceramic Braces

    The Clear Ceramic Braces treatment procedure at London Dental Specialists involves a precise and methodical approach to straightening your teeth. During your treatment appointment, our orthodontist will carefully position tooth-coloured ceramic brackets onto each tooth, ensuring optimal placement for effective tooth movement.

    The procedure begins with thorough cleaning and preparation of your teeth surfaces. A special dental adhesive is applied to bond the ceramic brackets securely to your teeth. Each bracket is strategically positioned using precise measurements from your treatment plan to achieve the desired tooth movement.

    Once the brackets are in place, a tooth-coloured or clear archwire is threaded through them. This wire is the active component that guides your teeth into their new positions. Clear or tooth-coloured elastic ligatures are then attached to hold the wire firmly in place, maintaining the discrete appearance of your braces.

    • Treatment Duration: 30-90 minutes for initial fitting
    • Adjustment Visits: Every 6-8 weeks
    • Components Used:
      • Ceramic brackets
      • Tooth-coloured archwire
      • Clear elastic ligatures

    After fitting, you'll receive detailed instructions on maintaining your ceramic braces, including proper brushing techniques and foods to avoid. Regular adjustment appointments are essential to monitor progress and make necessary modifications to achieve optimal results.

    Post Treatment Care for Clear Ceramic Braces

    Post-treatment care for your clear ceramic braces is essential to maintain their effectiveness and appearance. Proper maintenance ensures your braces continue to work efficiently whilst keeping your teeth healthy throughout the treatment process.

    Daily cleaning and maintenance are crucial aspects of ceramic brace care. Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, paying special attention to the areas around the brackets and wires. An orthodontic brush or interdental brush can help remove food particles from hard-to-reach areas.

    Foods to avoid with ceramic braces include:

    • Hard foods like nuts and crusty bread
    • Sticky foods such as toffee and caramel
    • Highly pigmented foods and drinks (curry, red wine, coffee)
    • Chewy foods that could damage the brackets

    Essential daily care routine:

    • Brush after every meal using fluoride toothpaste
    • Use an interdental brush or water flosser
    • Rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash
    • Check brackets and wires for any damage

    If you experience any discomfort or notice any issues with your ceramic braces, contact London Dental Specialists immediately. Our team is available to provide support and guidance throughout your treatment journey. Regular check-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

    Remember to maintain regular dental check-ups alongside your orthodontic appointments to ensure overall oral health. Should you have any concerns about your clear ceramic braces, our specialist team is here to help and provide professional advice.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Our Clear Ceramic Braces in London, UK

    Considering Clear Ceramic Braces? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What are Clear Ceramic Braces and how do they straighten teeth?

    Clear ceramic braces are orthodontic appliances that use tooth-coloured or transparent brackets and wires to straighten teeth whilst being less noticeable than traditional metal braces. These braces work by applying consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions through a process called bone remodelling.

    The ceramic brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth and connected by an archwire that guides tooth movement. Unlike metal braces, these use materials that blend naturally with your tooth colour, making them a more aesthetically pleasing choice for teeth straightening.

    • Treatment typically takes 12-36 months depending on individual cases
    • Suitable for treating various orthodontic issues including:
      • Crowded teeth
      • Gaps between teeth
      • Misaligned bites
      • Rotated teeth

    Care instructions for ceramic braces:

    • Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush
    • Use interdental brushes to clean between brackets
    • Avoid staining foods and beverages
    • Attend regular adjustment appointments every 6-8 weeks
