Straight teeth, a beautiful smile and no impact on your lifestyle – if that is what you’re looking for in an orthodontic treatment option, then ceramic braces could be your answer. And we have them right here at The Forum Orthodontics.
For many of our patients, ceramic braces are the perfect treatment option. They combine the system of traditional metal braces with ceramic brackets to create an orthodontic treatment option that is discreet, yet effective. The braces still use brackets, archwires and elastic bands to move your teeth into position, but the brackets blend in with the colour of your teeth so aren’t as noticeable.
Small ceramic brackets are fitted to the front surface of your teeth and are connected with a thin archwire. Small elastic bands are then placed over the brackets to apply gentle pressure to your teeth. This pressure encourages your teeth to straighten over the course of your treatment.
Ceramic braces are an ideal treatment option for teenagers and adults who don’t want to feel self-conscious about having orthodontic treatment. Because the ceramic brackets blend in with the colour of your teeth, you can smile, laugh, go on first dates or attend important business meetings, knowing it is not immediately obvious that you are wearing braces.
No matter what appliance you are wearing during your orthodontic treatment, it is important you keep your teeth healthy. We’ll show you how to clean your teeth while wearing braces. It is your responsibility to clean your teeth at least twice a day, paying particular attention to the area above and below the brackets. This will help to avoid any discolouration of your ceramic braces.
They are discreet yet effective – ceramic braces provide patients with the best of both worlds. You don’t have to feel self-conscious about wearing them but you’ll still get great results.
They’re comfortable to wear – the ceramic brackets are smaller than traditional brackets which means you’ll experience less irritation during your treatment.
They are suitable for teens and adults – ceramic braces are suitable for most of our patients and can fix all types of orthodontic problems, including the complex ones!
