Everything to know about ceramic braces
Ceramic braces cab fix all types and severity levels of teeth and jaw misalignments and offer a more discreet way of straightening teeth. The following discusses ceramic braces. Patients can learn more by visiting a licensed dentist who offers ceramic braces for teeth straightening.
Ceramic braces can fix most types of misalignments
Ceramic braces can address most types of misalignments. These include issues with spacing or the alignment of teeth and jaw misalignments. Specifically, a general dentist may recommend ceramic braces to treat:
- Crooked teeth
- Overcrowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite complications
There are various types of bite complications that ceramic braces can address, including but not limited to crossbites, underbites, and overbites. A dentist can provide details on how treatment can correct alignment concerns during a consultation.
Ceramic braces offer a more discreet treatment option
The ceramic material used for the brackets and wires blends in well with natural teeth, so other people are less likely to notice them on the patient. This is helpful in social situations and for adults who may want to keep their natural smile throughout the treatment process.
Treatment is monitored by a dental professional
The entire treatment process with ceramic braces is monitored by a dental professional. Before the placement of the ceramic braces, patients may need dental care, such as cavity fillings. Once the patient has good oral health and clean teeth, the ceramic braces are placed and the treatment process begins. If there are any setbacks, then the dental professional can take action to limit them. The office’s hygienists, assistants, and other staff members also assist with the aftercare process.
The results can last for a lifetime with retainer wear
Ceramic braces require the patient to wear a retainer after treatment is complete. This keeps teeth from shifting back to their original positions until the jaw can harden in its new alignment and hold teeth in the proper position for the long term. Patients are often required to wear the retainer for most of each day for the first year and then only at night after that.
