About Clear Braces
The Differences Between Ceramic & Metal Braces
Metal braces are known for their durability and strength. While ceramic braces are also tough, they are made from a different, more fragile material that is more prone to chip or crack. Traditional braces are also better at tolerating pressure than newer ceramic ones.
If you need more drastic corrections, metal braces could be a better option. Adjustments with ceramic braces have to be slightly smaller, so it can take a little more time to align your teeth.
Having said that, both types of braces work on the same principles and tend to be equally as effective in most cases.
You may be worried about ceramic braces staining, but that hasn’t been a problem for several years. Ceramic brackets won’t stain, but the adhesive used to attach the brackets to the teeth and the clear elastic ties used to hold the wires in place can stain.
This can give an overall impression of discoloration or staining over time. You can choose to avoid things like coffee and tea, red wine, tomatoes, mustard, etc. to cut back on the chance of any staining. This isn’t necessary, since Dr. Ketcherside Orthodontics will change your elastics at every adjustment appointment.
If you maintain a good oral hygiene routine and follow the treatment plan designed by Dr. Ketcherside, you shouldn’t have to worry too much about giving up your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine!
Cost of Ceramic Braces
In our Redlands office, ceramic brackets are a little more expensive than traditional braces but cheaper than invisalign.
One of the biggest factors that affect your treatment cost will be the length and complexity of your treatment.
Treatment fees will vary depending on the complexity of your orthodontic treatment. Dr. Ketcherside will determine a treatment fee that fits your specific orthodontic needs, and our dedicated team will do everything we can to accommodate you and your budget.
The work it takes to put your braces on, adjust them, and take them off must also be factored into the total treatment cost, because placing and removing ceramic braces demand more technique and require more time from Dr. Ketcherside and our team.
The good news is, we offer flexible payment plans, accept care credit and all PPO dental insurances.
Our treatment coordinators will be happy to go over the cost with you at your free consultation.
