Which is better metal or ceramic braces?

Ceramic braces are fitted to the front of your teeth, and consist of subtle, clear or tooth coloured brackets with metal wires running through them. Compared to metal braces, ceramic braces are an attractive alternative because they are simply much less noticeable. The brackets are a similar size and shape to metal brace brackets however they are clear or tooth coloured and so blend in more.

Some people have ceramic braces if they are not suitable for Invisalign treatment (due to having more extreme irregularities of the teeth) but still, want to look good during treatment.

Ceramic braces are also sometimes chosen because they are more budget-friendly than lingual braces.

Whatever your reason for choosing ceramic braces, you can be sure of getting great results.
