OUR TREATMENTS CERAMIC BRACES Ceramic braces are the same shape as metal braces except that they are tooth-coloured and blend in with the teeth. Because ceramic is harder than enamel, teeth that bite or rub against brackets can easily wear down the opposing teeth. Therefore ceramic braces are rarely placed on lower teeth. CERAMIC BRACES PROS Improved appearance compared with metal braces CERAMIC BRACES CONS More expensive than metal braces Slightly bulkier than metal braces, so the can be harder to keep clean Ceramic braces are more brittle, so can break/chip more easily
