Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are a fixed orthodontic solution recommended for patients who wish to correct the position of their teeth effectively, but in a more discreet manner than with metal braces. As the brackets are a similar colour to the teeth, they are less noticeable and blend in aesthetically with the smile.
They are a suitable option for both teenagers and adults, particularly those seeking a balance between aesthetics and the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment.
The main advantage of ceramic braces is their discreet appearance, without compromising the effectiveness of the orthodontic treatment.

X-rays, photographs and digital scans are taken to draw up a precise treatment plan.

The ceramic brackets are fixed to the teeth, and the orthodontic archwire is fitted to begin the alignment process.
