"Ceramic Smiles: Enhancing Your Teeth with Ceramic Braces"

 Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces, with the difference that in this type of brace, instead of using gray metal brackets and wires, transparent or colored wires and brackets are used.

Advantages of ceramic braces

·         They are less visible than metal braces and the ceramic materials used in these braces can be transparent or even colored.

·         They can bring the teeth to our desired position more effectively in the long term.

·         They move their teeth faster than clear aligners. Ceramic braces take about 18 to 36 months to straighten your teeth. But aligners take longer to straighten your teeth.

·         You are free to choose the color of ceramic braces. These braces are available in almost every color imaginable.

The use of this type of brace does not cause the slightest interference in the imaging (X-ray) process.
Disadvantages of ceramic braces

·         They are more expensive than metal braces.

·         They may cause gum sensitivity.
Ceramic brackets are larger than metal brackets. This can make it harder to clean around your brackets.

·         The durability of this type is much less than the durability of metal.
Ceramic braces are more than twice as likely to break than metal braces, and removing the adhesive when removing the braces damages the surface of your teeth (enamel).

·         Because they are more fragile, the need to repair broken brackets or perform incremental adjustments at each appointment can delay the straightening process.

·         They may stain. The elastic connections that hold the wire to the brackets can easily become stained.
Length of treatment compared to metal braces
Ceramic braces need about one and a half to three years to straighten your teeth, which requires more time compared to metal braces. This type of brace is not durable enough. Therefore, at the same time as the teeth move to the desired position of the orthodontist, the need to change the brackets will also be felt. All these problems make the duration of treatment with this type of laser a little longer.
Are ceramic brackets suitable for children?
Children usually have less ability to take care of activator appliances. At a young age, only conventional fixed orthodontics are recommended. Most teenagers and young adults use clear brackets because they can take care of the brackets.
How much do ceramic braces cost?
Since the types of brackets and wire used in these orthodontics are different and invisibility is one of its biggest advantages, the cost of ceramic braces is higher than the cost of regular fixed braces.
The following factors affect the price of ceramic braces:
Material price:

 The material used in ceramic orthodontics for wiring teeth is made of silver. Cematic brackets are more expensive than metal  children orthodontic brackets, so the cost of ceramic orthodontic materials is higher than metal orthodontics.
Duration of treatment:

treatment with ceramic orthodontics takes longer than metal orthodontics. Therefore, the cost of both is not the same.
The sensitivity of ceramic braces:

it is more difficult to maintain and replace ceramic braces than metal braces, so their price is also higher.
Summary
If you want to use beauty or even draw less attention to braces, be sure to choose their ceramic types. But they are short-lived and may take a long time to modify your byte.
They can also be more expensive and stain more easily. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist before choosing metal or ceramic braces.
