Blend In With
Ceramic Braces
Are you looking for a discreet and effective way to straighten your child’s teeth? Clear braces at Ivy City Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics could be your perfect fit.
What Are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces give your child or teen a fantastic option for subtly fixing a bite or straightening teeth. Different than traditional metal braces, these use clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires that blend in with your natural smile.
How Ceramic Braces Work
Get the benefits of braces without unwanted attention. Clear braces work the same way as metal braces but with a more aesthetic touch.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how ceramic braces help align your teeth:
Placing Brackets
Dr. JC matches the color of your brackets to your natural teeth before bonding them to the surface of each tooth.
Archwire & Elastics
Dr. JC will thread an archwire through the brackets and secure it with elastic bands. The archwire puts pressure on your teeth to guide them into their desired positions.
Regular Adjustments
You'll visit our Washington, DC, office for regular adjustments throughout your treatment. These appointments keep your treatment on track and allow Dr. JC to change the wires and elastics.
Advantages of Clear Braces
Ceramic braces offer benefits that make them an appealing option for orthodontic treatment. Here's what you can expect:
Subtle Looks
Clear brackets blend in with your teeth. This natural-looking option helps you feel confident during your treatment.
Effective Alignment
Clear braces can correct crowded teeth, gaps, bites issues, and more. They give you the same results as braces without the same look.
Comfortable & Gentle
Dr. JC customizes your ceramic braces so for a more comfortable treatment experience. The brackets are smooth against your lips and cheeks for less irritation.
Stain-Resistant
Stain-resistant ceramic brackets ensure your braces start clear and stay clear.
Customization
Dr. JC will customize your ceramic braces to fit your unique dental needs with a treatment plan just for you.
Ceramic Braces Vs. Metal Braces
Ceramic braces are a discreet smile solution, but they have a few differences from metal:
Materials
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored material, so they're less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Visibility
Ceramic braces blend in with the color of your teeth, while metal braces are more noticeable.
Treatment Time
The length of treatment with ceramic braces is like that of metal braces. The time it takes to get your final results depends on your specific orthodontic needs.
Durability
Metal braces are strong and durable, while ceramic braces are slightly more delicate but just as effective.
