What are clear ceramic braces?
Ceramic braces are similar to conventional metal braces, but other people will have difficulty noticing them. Every smooth bracket is constructed from a translucent material to match your teeth. Our team recommends clear braces for the individuals in the Newington, CT community who would like the advantages of conventional metal braces but with a more attractive look. If you're interested in getting more information on clear ceramic braces for teeth or researching other orthodontic choices, contact one of our Rosenberg Orthodontics in Hartford County to schedule an appointment.
What Are the Benefits of Clear Ceramic Braces?
Clear ceramic braces are a unique orthodontic treatment option with several benefits. One of the primary benefits of ceramic braces is their comfort. Ceramic braces utilize smaller, rounded brackets that are less likely to cause discomfort and irritate your gums. Some of the other advantages of ceramic braces include:
- Designed for maximum durability
- Archwire can be colored to blend seamlessly with your smile
- More discreet than traditional braces
- Less noticeable in pictures
- Reduced risk of discoloration after treatment
Who can get clear braces?
These braces are made from tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them harder to see compared to conventional metal braces. Clear ceramic braces are an effective and affordable option for straightening teeth. Ideal candidates for this orthodontic treatment include:
- Teenagers or adults seeking a subtle orthodontic option to straighten their teeth
- Individuals with good oral hygiene routines, which can help keep the clear elastic bands from yellowing
- Individuals seeking a continuous treatment option
- Individuals with bite issues or crowded teeth
Clear Ceramic Braces Reviews
As a teenage boy going to high school I was hesitant about wearing braces but there was one tooth I wanted to fix. Dr. Rosenberg gave me a series of clear aligners to correct it. I was so excited because you couldn't see them when I was wearing them. Thanks to Dr. Rosenberg and his great staff for understanding and caring about the happiness (concerns) of teens!!!
I'm doing aligners with Dr. Rosenberg and Rosenberg Orthodontics. They are the Best!!! I interviewed several offices and I am so glad that I chose Rosenberg Orthodontics. Dr. Rosenberg is especially amazing at listening to all of my concerns, and he always takes the time to work with me. The office runs like a well-oiled machine, always ready for my appointment, and always greeting me at the door with a smile!
excellent experience! I'm 61 and wanted a beautiful smile for my son's wedding. I had tried aligners from another company and it was a disaster. I came here to have my teeth fixed from that bad experience with metal braces. Everything was on point, from the office staff, the ortho staff and Dr. Rosenberg. I now have a beautiful smile for the wedding and beyond!! Like the Dr. said, I should have come to him in the first place and he was right!!!! ps. my daughter had full braces 10 years ago with Dr. Rosenberg and we had excellent results and an excellent experience as well!!

How are ceramic braces placed?
On the day of your visit, we will clean and polish your teeth with a special cleaner. Then, we will brush on a sealant, and the tips of your teeth will be gently smoothed if needed. The clear mounts will be positioned on each individual tooth. When the mounts are in their proper position, we will utilize UV (ultraviolet) light to immediately harden the adhesive. This simple procedure should not result in any discomfort and attaches the brackets to your teeth. The last step is threading the wire through each of the brackets and using small white elastics to fasten the wire to the brackets. The whole procedure generally takes a few hours to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are ceramic ortho braces better than traditional braces?
While braces work relatively the same to align your teeth, the positive of ceramic ortho braces is that they provide a more discreet look when compared to traditional braces. If you are looking for a different look than traditional metal braces, these may be right for you.
Will ceramic tooth-colored braces get stained?
Yes, they can get stained. However, the clear ortho brackets don't get stained as easily. If you limit your consumption of coffee, pasta sauces, tea, red wines, tobacco, and other items, you will experience braces that show little to no staining.
What are translucent braces for teeth made of?
Generally, ceramic braces are made with ceramic brackets and transparent wires. However, composite braces can be made with tooth-colored composite resin. For more information on which is best for you, contact our dental team.
Do ceramic braces require more maintenance?
Generally speaking, ceramic braces require the same amount of maintenance and adjustments as traditional braces. Our team will schedule regular appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Can ceramic braces be removed like clear aligners?
No, ceramic braces cannot be removed like clear aligners can. Clear ceramic braces are fixed appliances, meaning they are bonded to the teeth and cannot be removed by the wearer.
Are there any dietary restrictions with ceramic braces?
Although ceramic braces are less prone to being stained, certain foods and drinks can still potentially cause discoloration or damage. Our dentists recommend avoiding hard, sticky, or overly pigmented food to keep your braces in optimal condition.
What happens after clear braces are placed?
Once your ceramic braces have been set, you might experience some discomfort as your gums, teeth, and lips adapt to your orthodontic treatment. Though a little discomfort is completely normal, these symptoms usually get better in time and may be fixed with dental wax that shields your mouth from the braces along with nonprescription pain medication.
Though the clear brackets do not easily stain, the elastics that are put on your braces may darken from particular drinks and food. Some of these foods include:
- Berries
- Coffee
- Tomato and tomato products
- Curry and tumeric
- Tea
- Beets
Our dental team recommends that you do your very best to limit the above-listed foods to keep up the overall look of these braces. Brushing after each meal may also preserve the appearance and your oral hygiene.
What do ceramic braces cost?
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your treatment choices and price estimates. Rosenberg Orthodontics takes a variety of payments, and we will be able to help you to find medical financing. If you have dental insurance, a member of our staff will contact your insurance provider to verify your coverage and calculate your out-of-pocket expenses.
