Orthodontic topics
What to understand
Ceramic braces are fixed brackets made from a light-colored material. They work as part of an orthodontic system with an archwire, but a less visible appearance does not mean they suit every movement or patient.
What to clarify at an examination
Ask about durability, maintenance, staining of associated components, cost, and when another system might be more suitable. The practice should explain these details after an examination.
Questions to ask
Are ceramic braces invisible? No. They may blend with tooth color more than metal brackets, but they remain visible.
