Frequently Asked Questions About Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are less noticeable on the teeth because of its white color. The brackets gradually realign your teeth the same way traditional metal braces would.

Metal:

Metal braces are the most common type that has been used to straighten teeth for decades. Made of high-grade stainless steel, they are designed to create a perfect smile.

Lingual:

Similar to metal braces, lingual braces are also made of high-grade stainless steel. The difference is lingual braces are applied to the backs of the teeth. This leaves the front of the teeth metal-free. However, bracket placement for lingual braces can be challenging for patients with smaller teeth, so they are generally more suitable for adults.
