Orthodontic Treatment
Ceramic braces work exactly like metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend in with your natural tooth color, making them far less noticeable. A popular choice for image-conscious teens and adults.
Best for older teenagers and adults who want effective treatment with a more aesthetic appearance. Suitable for mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
Similar process to metal braces. Ceramic brackets are slightly more fragile and require extra care with stain-causing foods and drinks.
Do ceramic braces stain?
The ceramic brackets themselves are stain-resistant, but the elastic ties that hold the wire can discolour with coffee, tea, or turmeric. Dr. Shah replaces these at every visit, so any staining resets each appointment.
Are ceramic braces more expensive than metal?
Yes, ceramic braces typically cost more than metal due to the aesthetic brackets. The cost difference varies — Dr. Shah will give you a clear quote at your consultation.
Are ceramic braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes, ceramic braces move teeth with the same effectiveness as metal braces. The treatment process and timeline are virtually identical.
