In recent times, one of the advancements made in orthodontics is the entry of invisible or clear braces in the market among which are ceramic braces.

What are ceramic braces?

Ceramic braces are the type of clear braces comprising of tooth-colored ceramic brackets. These are bound to the teeth surface using rubber bands and similarly colored wires. They can help straighten the teeth and fix bite issues.

How are ceramic braces different from conventional metallic braces?

Ceramic braces tend to be bigger than metallic braces, hence they require a wider surface area of the teeth to hold them. These braces are not strong enough as that metallic braces which mean they are required to be worn for a longer duration to achieve the same desired results as that traditional braces.

Ceramic is harder as compared to tooth enamel. For some patients, ceramic braces cannot be placed over the lower teeth set like those having an overbite as there is a greater likelihood of digging of braces into the top teeth.

They can be noticeably more expensive as there is customized manufacturing of brackets and lengthy treatment times.

How do they work?

Ceramic braces work the same as the traditional braces i.e. by slowly and gradually promoting the crooked teeth to move into a straight and balanced position. The misaligned teeth are made to move by carefully manipulating the force required to guide them into their new place. Light persistent pressure is applied over the teeth which allow a predictable pattern of movement of teeth including the changes that are placed on both the bones and ligaments present in the mouth region.

Prior to the placement of ceramic braces, the teeth are cleaned with a special cleaner solution, rinsed well, and polished. A sealant is painted on the teeth surface and the edges of the teeth are smoothed off. Next, the ceramic braces are placed on the teeth and the glue is instantly hardened with UV light. Then, the tooth-colored wires are placed in the braces and it is done!

Benefits of using ceramic braces:

• Durable orthodontic tool: Most people do not prefer ceramic braces as they are thought to be not so strong and may require quick replacement before the treatment course is over. However, the ceramic braces are resistant to damage and can remain intact throughout the treatment.
