Ceramic braces work like metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth, so they are far less noticeable. At Happy Hoppers Pediatric Dentistry and Braces in Methuen, MA, Dr. Bhoomi Kotak offers ceramic braces for older teens and adults who want an effective fixed treatment that stays subtle.

Why Ceramic Braces

They call for a little more care to keep the clear brackets from staining, and we show you how.

Ceramic Braces or Invisalign?

Ceramic Braces or Invisalign? Both are discreet. Ceramic braces are fixed and handle more complex corrections without relying on you to wear them. Invisalign is removable and even less visible, but depends on consistent wear. Dr. Kotak helps you choose at your free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ceramic braces as effective as metal?

Yes. They move teeth just as well. The brackets are tooth-coloured instead of metal, so they are less visible.

The brackets resist staining, but the clear elastic ties can pick up colour from foods and drinks like coffee. We change them at each visit and show you how to care for them.

Older teens and adults who want a discreet fixed option and are not focused on colourful bands. They are a popular middle ground between metal braces and Invisalign.
