Ceramic braces are convenient, effective and discreet treatment to straighten teeth.
Ceramic braces are used as an orthodontic treatment to reposition and straighten teeth for a great new smile. Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces, but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them more discreet. The ceramic brackets are attached to the surface of your teeth with virtually invisible coloured wires and bands.
Ceramic braces are designed to blend in with the natural colour of your teeth, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. While they’re not completely invisible, their clear or tooth-coloured brackets and wires make them a discreet option for straightening your teeth.
Suitable for adults and children alike, the duration of orthodontic treatment with ceramic braces is similar to traditional metal braces, but typically faster than with plastic aligners. Ceramic braces are a reliable solution to realign and straighten teeth effectively and with discretion.
Ask your dentist about ceramic braces. During your free orthodontic consultation, your dentist will advise you on the orthodontic treatment options that are most suited to your requirements.
Treatment time with ceramic braces typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
At the Kettering Dental & Implant Clinic, complimentary whitening and retainers (fixed and removable) are included in the treatment.

How are metal braces different from ceramic braces?
Metal braces: durable, effective and designed for results
Metal braces are the traditional and most commonly used orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth with proven results. They consist of stainless steel brackets and wires, designed to be durable and highly effective for complex and severe tooth movements.
While metal braces are more visible than ceramic, they are often smaller and more comfortable than many expect. Metal braces are suitable for patients of all ages and often provide the fastest treatment time for comprehensive orthodontic correction.
Our team at Kettering Dental & Implant Clinic will tailor your metal braces treatment to your individual smile goals, ensuring comfort and optimal results.
