This type of braces relies on the use of brackets made of transparent or colored ceramic materials that match the color of the natural teeth, making them less visible and more attractive than metal brackets.

The working principle of this type of device is exactly similar to that of metal braces.
The only difference is the use of ceramic brackets instead of metal ones, but it should be noted that the wires that will be used during the treatment will be metal and visible, i.e. only the brackets will be invisible.


Are there any disadvantages to ceramic braces?

Yes, despite the cosmetic advantages of ceramic braces, it has some disadvantages:
1- Its cost is higher than metal braces.
2- It may not be the best choice in some complex cases.
3- Ceramic brackets are usually larger than metal brackets, which may cause some discomfort and require some time to adapt to them.
4- The rubber used to attach the wire to the brackets may change color and affect the aesthetic aspect, so regular check-ups must be adhered to to avoid this issue.
5- More prone to breakage than metal braces, so it requires a patient who is aware, cooperative, and committed to instructions.
