Ceramic braces deliver the same precise orthodontic correction as metal braces — using tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your teeth for a far more discreet appearance. Led by Dr. Akhil Patil, Orthodontics Specialist at Casa Dentique.
Ceramic braces work exactly the same way as metal braces — brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by an archwire that progressively guides teeth into position. The difference is aesthetic: ceramic brackets are made from tooth-coloured or clear polycrystalline ceramic, making them significantly less visible than metal. The clinical outcome is identical.
Ceramic brackets match the natural shade of your teeth — making them blend in rather than stand out. A popular choice for working professionals and adults who want discreet treatment.
Ceramic braces provide the same three-dimensional tooth control — rotation, torque, intrusion, extrusion — as metal braces. No clinical compromise is made for the aesthetic benefit.
Ceramic brackets are slightly more brittle than metal. For very complex cases with extreme forces required, Dr. Akhil Patil may recommend metal braces or a hybrid approach.
A tooth-coloured coated archwire can be used alongside ceramic brackets for an even more discreet appearance — though this is reviewed at each adjustment visit.
Ceramic brackets cost more to manufacture than metal — reflected in a modest price difference. The treatment timeline and clinical process is otherwise identical.
The elastic ties that hold the wire in ceramic brackets can pick up staining from coffee, turmeric or tobacco between appointments. Self-ligating ceramic braces eliminate this issue.
Dr. Akhil Patil assesses your teeth, bite and X-rays. A full treatment plan — including whether ceramic or metal braces are best for your case — is discussed and costed.
Ceramic brackets are bonded to each tooth using dental adhesive. An archwire is threaded through and secured. The appointment takes 60–90 minutes.
The archwire is adjusted or changed at each visit to continue guiding teeth. Mild soreness for 1–3 days after each adjustment is normal.
Once teeth reach their target positions, brackets and wire are removed and teeth are polished.
A retainer is fitted immediately after removal to hold teeth in their corrected position. Retainers must be worn as prescribed.
