Would ceramic braces be better for my orthodontic treatment than classic metal braces?
Just like metal braces, ceramic braces have the power to address all your orthodontic concerns. However, they have some unique benefits that make them stand out, especially when compared to metal braces.
- Ceramic braces are incredibly discreet as they are much less visible compared to metal braces. These braces utilize a ceramic material that can be either transparent or tooth-colored, adding to their appeal.
- These braces work faster than clear aligners (Invisalign), taking 18 to 36 months to straighten teeth, while clear aligners may take longer and are not suitable for severe misalignment or malocclusion.
- Metal braces stick to classic gray or shiny metallic silver, while ceramic braces offer a wide range of color choices to express your style, allowing for almost any color imaginable.
- Unlike metal braces, these porcelain braces cause minimal disruption to signals in imaging tests, making them a preferable choice for patients requiring such procedures.
