How Ceramic Braces Work

Ceramic braces are also called clear braces; they work the same way as traditional metal braces. The key difference is that the wires, brackets, and ligatures are tooth-coloured, so they blend in with your smile. They’re still visible, but less noticeable, and they’re more fragile than metal braces too.

Here’s what you can expect during a dental treatment at our clinic:

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

The initial consultation with Dr. Chan includes a thorough evaluation of your teeth, your bite alignment, and overall oral health. We will discuss your goals to determine if ceramic braces are the best fit for your treatment.

Step 2: Fitting the Braces

After finalising your treatment plan, our team bonds ceramic brackets to your teeth and threads them with a wire. These braces function just like the metal ones, but they are more visually discreet.

Step 3: Regular Adjustments

As your dental treatment progresses, you’ll return to the Orthoworx clinic for periodic check-ups and to adjust the wires. These visits will help guide the movement of your teeth and ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Step 4: Maintaining Results

Once your treatment is complete, our team will remove the braces and fit you with a custom retainer that will help maintain your new smile.

The Benefits of Getting Ceramic Braces

Clear braces provide a great balance between aesthetics and effectiveness for adults and teens who prefer something more subtle during treatment.

• They blend with your natural tooth colour, which makes them less noticeable than metal braces.
• They treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
• The smooth and ceramic brackets tend to be gentler on the gums and cheeks.
• They are ideal for anyone seeking effective treatment without the visual impact of metal braces.
