Ceramic braces are rapidly gaining popularity, especially among adults and teens in the UK who want the benefits of orthodontic treatment without the metallic appearance of traditional braces. So, let’s dive in and explore everything you need to know about ceramic braces, from how they work to whether they’re the right option for you!

What are Ceramic braces?

Ceramic braces are crafted from a clear or tooth-coloured material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. The brackets are smooth and come in various shades to match the teeth. 

By adapting to your teeth’ appearance, these braces not only improve your aesthetic but also make the braces more comfortable to wear. Contact Denmark Street Ceramic Braces Newcastle at 0191 477 2438 or email us at smile@denmarkstreetdentalpractice.co.uk to learn more.

How they work

Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional metal braces. Brackets are attached to each tooth, and a wire connects them. Over time, your orthodontist will tighten the wire, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired alignment. 

Ceramic braces are as effective as conventional metal braces in correcting frequent orthodontic issues like crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. What’s their most significant difference? They’re much less visible.

Is it right for me?

Ceramic braces are a fantastic option for adults and teens who want orthodontic treatment but prefer a more discreet look. Many patients who work in professional environments or attend social events often choose ceramic braces to keep their treatment low-key. However, they may not be ideal for younger children due to the delicate nature of the ceramic brackets, which can require more careful maintenance.

Factors to Consider

While ceramic braces offer many advantages, there are a few factors to weigh up before making a decision. Ceramic brackets can be more prone to staining, especially if you regularly consume foods and drinks like coffee, tea, or curry. 

Additionally, ceramic braces are slightly more fragile than metal ones, which may chip or break more easily. As a result, you’ll need to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly to keep them in perfect shape.

Invisalign Vs Ceramic braces

• Appearance and Aesthetic Differences

When comparing ceramic braces with Invisalign, the most obvious difference is their appearance. Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, making them almost invisible. 

Ceramic braces, on the other hand, still have brackets attached to your teeth, but their tooth-coloured design makes them much less noticeable than metal braces. If complete invisibility is your top priority, Invisalign might be more appealing. Yet, ceramic braces are a solid second choice for subtlety.

• Comfort and Maintenance

While both options are designed for comfort, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can eat and brush your teeth without them getting in the way. Ceramic braces are fixed in place, so you’ll need to clean around the brackets carefully. 

However, some patients find the constant removal, cleaning, and maintenance of Invisalign aligners to be a hassle. With ceramic braces, once they’re on, they’re working continuously.

• Effectiveness and Treatment Time

In terms of effectiveness, ceramic braces can treat more complex orthodontic cases than Invisalign. Thanks to the specific control over each tooth’s movement, ceramic braces can correct severe crowding or bite issues more efficiently. Nonetheless, Invisalign may offer a shorter treatment time for mild to moderate cases. Either way, our specialist team will help you decide which option is best for your specific needs.

Costs

Ceramic Braces Cost Breakdown

The cost of ceramic braces can vary depending on the complexity of your treatment and where you live in the UK. On average, you can expect to pay between £2,000 and £4,500 for ceramic braces, making them slightly more expensive than traditional metal braces but generally less costly than Invisalign. 

The reason for the higher price is mainly due to the materials used and the additional time needed for adjustments, as ceramic brackets are more delicate to handle.

Financing Options and Insurance Coverage

While the NHS typically covers orthodontic treatment for children under the age of 18, if there’s a medical need, adults will usually need to seek private treatment. 

At Denmark Street Dental, we offer flexible financing options, allowing you to spread the cost over several months. You can also check with your insurance provider to see if they offer any coverage for orthodontic treatments like ceramic braces.

Process of Ceramic Braces

• Initial Consultation: 

The first step in getting ceramic braces is scheduling a consultation with your orthodontist. During this visit, your orthodontist will take X-rays, impressions, or 3D scans of your teeth to create a customised treatment plan. They’ll discuss your treatment options, determine additional procedures, and help you decide if ceramic braces are the best choice for you.

• Treatment Steps: 

Once your treatment plan is in place, our team will perform any additional procedure, and the braces will be attached to your teeth. This process is quick and painless. Over the next 12 to 24 months (depending on your specific case), you’ll return to our clinic for regular check-ups and adjustments, ensuring your teeth are aligning as planned.

• Aftercare and Retention: 

After your braces come off, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new, aligned position. Unfortunately, skipping this step could result in your teeth shifting back to their original positions.
