What Are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces, also called porcelain braces or clear braces, work much the same way as traditional braces and offer the same benefits during the same treatment period; however, the brackets are made from a clear, transparent ceramic material, making these braces less visible than traditional metal braces.

Does it Hurt to Wear Ceramic Braces?
The application of ceramic braces is typically not painful, but you may experience some discomfort as your teeth begin to shift due to the pressure from the wires and elastic ligatures. You may also experience some discomfort following orthodontist adjustments, and this may last several days. Over-the-counter pain medication normally provides relief, and dental wax may also be applied to the braces to prevent them from irritating the inside of your mouth. Our staff will provide you with detailed instructions on how to use the wax at your application appointment.
