Anna Kids Dentistry is where we specialize in providing exceptional pediatric dental and orthodontic care. We are delighted to introduce you to Ceramic Braces, an excellent orthodontic treatment option that offers aesthetics, effectiveness and comfort for our young patients.

What are Ceramic Braces?

Ceramic braces are an advanced orthodontic system that uses tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires to straighten your child’s teeth. These braces blend in with the natural color of their teeth, making them less noticeable compared to traditional metal braces.

Treatment Plan with Ceramic Braces

At Anna Kids Dentistry, our experienced orthodontists will create a personalized treatment plan using ceramic braces to address your child’s unique orthodontic concerns. Here’s an overview of the treatment process:

Initial Consultation: During this visit, our orthodontist will evaluate your child’s oral health, discuss their concerns and determine if ceramic braces are the right option for them. We will take digital impressions or use 3D scanning to create a precise digital model of their teeth.

Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your child’s specific needs, we will create a detailed treatment plan tailored to their dental condition. This plan will outline the stages of their orthodontic journey and the expected outcome.

Braces Placement: Our orthodontist will carefully place the tooth-colored or clear brackets on your child’s teeth. The archwires, which help move the teeth into proper alignment, will be attached to the brackets. Adjustments may be made to ensure a comfortable fit.

Progress Check-ups: Regular check-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your child’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to the braces. These visits also provide an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you and your child may have.

Treatment Completion: Once your child has completed the prescribed orthodontic treatment with ceramic braces, they will achieve a beautifully aligned smile. We may recommend a retainer to help maintain the results of their treatment.

Pros & Cons of Ceramic Braces

Pros:

Aesthetics: Ceramic braces are less noticeable due to their tooth-colored or clear appearance, making them a popular choice for those concerned about the appearance of traditional metal braces.

Effective: Ceramic braces are as effective as traditional metal braces in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites and crossbites.

Comfort: The smooth ceramic brackets reduce the chances of irritation to the gums and cheeks, providing a more comfortable orthodontic experience.

Cons:

Staining: Although ceramic braces are designed to resist staining, certain foods and beverages may cause discoloration over time. Proper oral hygiene practices can minimize this risk.

Cost: Ceramic braces tend to be slightly more expensive than traditional metal braces due to their advanced materials and aesthetics. We can discuss the cost and payment options during your consultation.
