Ceramic braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Unlike traditional metal braces, ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them a more discreet option. They're especially popular among teens and adults who want effective treatment with a more aesthetic appearance.
Ceramic braces have brackets made of ceramic or porcelain, or in some cases plastic. The brackets can be clear or else colored to be the same color as your teeth. Thus, they usually blend in with your teeth much better than metal braces. (People with lighter teeth do fine with clear brackets, but if you have darker teeth, having colored braces might be a better option.)
