Ceramic braces are a highly aesthetic and effective orthodontic method, helping to quickly improve tooth defects. At the same time, the cost of ceramic braces is also very reasonable. It can be said that this is the universal key to healthy and beautiful teeth.

1. What are ceramic braces?

Similar to metal braces, the main tools of the ceramic braces technique include:

  • Braces are made from ceramic material
  • Small bowstring made of stainless steel
  • Elastic band to secure the ceramic bracket to the arch wire

The above appliance system is attached to the outer surface of the teeth to apply force to adjust the teeth to the desired position on the jaw frame. Thanks to that, teeth defects such as protrusion, underbite, gaps, misalignment, crookedness… are improved. Chewing ability and teeth health are also significantly better.

In terms of aesthetics, ceramic braces have the same color as teeth, so it is quite difficult for the other person to detect that you are wearing braces. This is also the outstanding advantage of this method compared to traditional metal braces.

Besides the method of using rubber bands, you can choose self-ligating ceramic braces for better treatment effectiveness. However, the price of treatment using this technique is also higher.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of ceramic braces

As mentioned above, the biggest advantage of ceramic braces is aesthetics. Braces made from ceramic material have the same color as real teeth, so they are difficult to recognize. At the same time, ceramic braces also inherit the strengths of metal braces such as fast effectiveness, reasonable price and can treat difficult cases.

Normally, ceramic braces will cost 10 – 20 million VND more than metal braces. Regarding diet, you should avoid foods that cause color so that ceramic braces always stay bright white.
