Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but instead of very visible metal brackets, the brackets are made of clear or tooth-colored ceramic. We mainly use this option on teen and adult patients who are self-conscious about wearing braces. These braces are more fragile than their metal counterpart.
