Ceramic braces are one of the types of orthodontic braces used to correct dental abnormalities and straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, ceramic braces are made from transparent or white ceramic material, which makes them less visible than metal braces.
Ceramic braces work on the same basic principle as metal braces. These include braces on each tooth over which a metal arch is placed to control the movement of the teeth. Ceramic braces can be used to correct a wide range of dental problems, including crossbite, deep bite, open bite, lack of space between teeth, and other anomalies.
Like any orthodontic system, ceramic braces have some disadvantages. They can be more fragile and prone to breaking than metal braces, especially if care instructions are not followed. Overall, ceramic braces are an attractive option for patients looking for an aesthetically pleasing solution to their dental problems.
