Question 6

are ceramic braces and metal braces equally effective as treatment for crooked teeth?

Personal preference: Ceramic braces are the exactly same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. The same treatment, the same goal, the same great outcome.

Question 7

would ceramic braces change my appearance?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Both ceramic and metal braces are noticeable, the ceramic less so.  Braces move your lips forward about a tenth of an inch until they are removed.  As your teeth/jaws are aligned, your smile will broaden become more symmetric, and more pleasing.  It's worth it.

Question 8

what is the difference between ceramic braces and invisible braces?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign ?: Brackets, whether metal or ceramic, are bonded to your teeth and use wires, elastics, and springs to move your teeth. Invisalign uses a series of trays to move your teeth.The trays are removable and made of a clear plastic. Ask your orthodontist what would work best for you.

Question 9

i am planning to get ceramic braces..how do they look in terms of aesthetics?

Accepted Answer

Good: Aesthetics is very subjective.  Ceramic braces have little to no metal which makes them less noticeable.  However, if you don't take care of the ceramic braces, they can look worse.  Ceramic braces can stain and become discolored with certain foods and without proper hygiene.

Question 10

what is the difference between ceramic braces and lingual braces?

Accepted Answer

The difference is..,: Ceramic braces attach to the front of your teeth just like traditional metal braces.  The difference is the brackets are made of tooth colored ceramic instead of metal. Lingual braces attach to the tongue side of your teeth.  Not everyone has enough room on the backside of their upper front teeth to fit lingual braces. Only an orthodontist can determine which will work better for you.
