It changes your look. So if a less visibly jarring alternative to traditional metal braces exists, why aren\u2019t ceramic braces the universal choice for treatment?<\/p>    <p>There are a few things to keep in mind about patients and their braces. Braces become part of the patient and many young patients prefer to make a choice. Metal braces are often a personal statement. <\/p>    <p>There are styles of braces: ordinary squares, stars, hearts, flowers, balls, super-diamonds and even Disney&#8217;s Mickey Mouse by WildSmiles braces. These stainless steel braces are noted for the opportunity to pick colour ties to attach the wire. <\/p>    <p>Sometimes ceramic braces are offered with an extra fee. The elastic ties that hold the wire to the brackets can be stained by food and drinks and be more noticeable with ceramic braces than metal. <\/p>    <p>Another factor to consider is that it may take longer for your teeth to move into place with ceramic braces because they\u2019re more fragile and require more care by your orthodontist.<\/p>    <p>All of that being said, ceramic braces are a great option for many patients. They get the job done and they\u2019re less noticeable.<\/p>    <p><strong>Dr. Clarke Stevens, Braces Omaha<\/strong><\/p>    <p>        <\/div>      <\/div>          <p>Because of the more advanced materials used, usually <strong>ceramic braces cost more than metal<\/strong>. Wearers may also have to restrict what they eat in order to avoid staining the clear or white ligatures. Apart from these two things, there are no real drawbacks compared to traditional braces.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combining metal and ceramic braces<\/h3>    <p>In this video, one patient offers some insight into the <strong>difference between ceramic and metal braces<\/strong>.

The ceramic material is stronger than teeth, which means teeth can chip if they knock against brackets on the lower jaw.

The transparent material practically disappears on the surface of the teeth.<\/p>    <p>Clear ceramic brackets shouldn&#8217;t stain easily, but clear ligatures may. While these are changed at every checkup, you should still take extra precautions with what you eat and drink to limit any potential for staining. You can read more about this towards the end of the article.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White ceramic braces<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-3981\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"211\" height=\"129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/ceramic-braces-smile.jpg\" alt=\"braces to match teeth\" class=\"wp-image-3981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/ceramic-braces-smile.jpg 211w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/ceramic-braces-smile-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/ceramic-braces-smile-65x40.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/ceramic-braces-smile-164x100.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tooth-coloured braces will look <br>better on slightly yellow teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Despite being referred to as &#8216;white braces&#8217;, these brackets are actually designed to be tooth-coloured. If they were pure white, they would just draw attention to the fact that our teeth are naturally a bit yellow. But &#8216;off-white ceramic braces&#8217; doesn&#8217;t sound as good, does it?<\/p>    <p>White ceramic braces look best against teeth that are a slightly darker shade. You can also get these ceramic braces with a white wire, rather than metal, to make them even less noticeable.<\/p>    <p>A different aluminium compound is used to create the whitish colour of these brackets. With certain brands, it&#8217;s possible to get brackets made to match the shade of your teeth. Others come in standard shades that may not be an exact match.<\/p>    <p>As with clear braces, the brackets themselves won&#8217;t stain but the elastics might do.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coloured ceramic braces<\/h3>    <p>Although many people choose ceramic braces because they want them to be as inconspicuous as possible, there&#8217;s nothing to stop you from jazzing them up with coloured ligatures.

Because people are less familiar with clear and white braces, they may actually take a longer glance at your mouth to work out what is in there. With metal brackets, on the other hand, there is less curiosity.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do ceramic braces stain?<\/h3>    <p>The material used for the brackets is designed to be stain-resistant. However, there is a possibility that the elastic bands placed on each bracket will become stained from certain foods and drinks.<\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;re paying the extra for ceramic fixed braces that blend in with your teeth, it&#8217;s worth making an effort to keep them that way. This means brushing and rinsing your teeth after every meal and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/oral-hygiene\/how-to-floss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flossing every day<\/a> or using <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/oral-hygiene\/interdental-brushes\/\" target=\"_blank\">interdental brushes<\/a>. Your dentist can advise you on the best tools to clean between and around your braces.<\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ll also want to avoid or limit your consumption of foods and drinks that can cause ligatures to stain.

You may combine ceramic on the upper arch with metal on the lower arch to keep the cost down.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you get ceramic braces on the NHS?<\/h3>    <p>No, only metal braces are available on the NHS, and even then you will need to meet various criteria which make the braces medically necessary. Most adults can&#8217;t get NHS braces at all.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which is better, ceramic or metal braces?<\/h3>    <p>This really depends on whether you are willing to pay more for a less noticeably style. Your treatment will feel much the same whichever one you choose, and will be completed in around the same time. <\/p>    <p>If you want to pay as little as possible, choose metal. If aesthetics are your main concern, consider ceramic or invisible braces.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you keep ceramic braces white?<\/h3>    <p>Ceramic brace brackets are designed to be stain-resistant, but the elastics used on them may stain. Avoid smoking and keep up a good oral hygiene routine to keep ceramic braces clean. Also be aware of the foods that are most likely to stain your teeth and braces.<\/p>    <p><\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item
