Ceramic Fixed Appliances
These are the second most popular type of brace.Because of their clear-tooth coloured appearance, they are popular with adults who wish to minimise the visual effect of braces.
The brackets (the part of the brace that is glued onto each tooth) differ from the metal fixed appliances as these are made from a tooth colour ceramic material.
We also stock a tooth coloured wire, which together with the tooth coloured bracket works very well to minimize the visual impact of wearing braces.
Similar to the metal fixed appliances, small elastics can be used to secure the wire into position, or the self-ligating variety will use an internal clip mechanism to secure the wire.
If you feel these braces would make you feel more comfortable about having orthodontic treatment, please mention your thoughts to us at your consultation visit.
