4 Pros Of Ceramic Braces To Consider

Written By Anica Oaks / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

People who weren’t fortunate enough to be born with beautiful smiles don’t have to suffer through closed-mouth smiles all their lives. Maybe you’re among them. Modern advances in braces, including ceramic braces, make it possible to have a beautiful smile even if you weren’t born with one.

If you’re considering ceramic braces, here are four reasons why they might be the best choice for you.

Ceramic Braces Are More Natural Looking

In the old days, people who wore braces understood that they’d just have to accept having a metal mouth for at least a year or two if not longer. This isn’t the case with ceramic braces. They blend in with the teeth, making them stand out less.

Additionally, it’s now possible to use colored arch wires and plastic bands that match the ceramic brackets and the teeth. These additions add to the illusion, making it more difficult to tell if a person is wearing braces or not.

Ceramic Braces Are Easier To Remove

Braces must be cemented to the teeth for the duration of treatment. While most people look forward to the day when they get their braces removed, the process itself can be quite an ordeal. Because of the advances in orthodontia, some types of braces, including clear ceramic braces, are easier to remove.

Ceramic Braces Are Faster Than Clear Aligners Like Invisalign

Most people understand that orthodontics require time to work. However, some forms of orthodontia work faster than others.

That’s the case with ceramic braces: They work faster than Invisalign, which is another popular choice among people who want their orthodontic work to be as unobtrusive as possible. Faster-working braces also mean less pain and lower costs, which are two things that most people who wear braces can get behind.

Ceramic Braces Are More Comfortable Than Metal Braces

Let’s face it. Braces cause discomfort. It makes sense. You’re loosening teeth so that they move from one spot in the mouth to another.

That being said, on the discomfort scale, ceramic braces feel more comfortable over the long haul than their metal counterparts do. Ceramic brackets are smaller and rounder than metal ones, which cause less irritation and discomfort.

Ceramic braces come with lots of advantages. They are less obvious than their metal counterparts.

They’re also more comfortable. They move the teeth into place faster than other popular types of orthodontia.

Finally, they allow people who weren’t born with a stunning smile to develop one in a relatively short amount of time.
