Ceramic braces

Clear braces, also known as ceramic or invisible braces, offer a more discreet way to straighten your teeth. Ideal for teens and adults, clear braces are a popular choice for those wanting effective results with a low-profile look!

Invisible braces, visible results

Ceramic braces are a great option for people who want a more discreet way to straighten their teeth but aren’t suitable for Invisalign. They work just like traditional braces but use ceramic or porcelain brackets on anterior teeth that closely match the colour of your teeth, making them far less noticeable.

What are ceramic or clear braces?

Ceramic braces, also called clear or invisible braces, work the same way as traditional braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets. This makes them a more discreet option for teens and adults. At iSmile Orthodontics, our Melbourne-based orthodontists offer personalised treatment plans to suit your needs. You can get started with a free smile assessment online or book a consultation at one of our clinics.

Are ceramic braces really invisible?

Ceramic braces are not completely invisible, but they are far less noticeable than metal braces. The brackets are clear or tooth-coloured, blending in with your natural teeth. Our Melbourne orthodontists use high-quality materials to ensure your treatment looks as subtle as possible while delivering great results. You can upload your smile for a free online assessment to explore this option.

Do clear braces stain easily?

The ceramic brackets are stain-resistant, but the small elastic ties can discolour over time from coffee, tea or strongly coloured foods. These are replaced at each appointment to keep your braces looking clean. At iSmile Orthodontics, our Melbourne orthodontists will provide care tips and advice to help you keep your clear braces looking their best throughout treatment.

Are ceramic braces more comfortable than metal braces?

Ceramic braces are often considered more comfortable because the brackets are smoother and less likely to irritate the inside of your mouth. Some patients notice they are slightly larger than metal brackets, but most adjust quickly. At our orthodontics clinics in Bundoora, Caroline Springs, or Mernda, our orthodontists will ensure your braces are fitted properly and provide tips to ease any initial discomfort.

Do ceramic braces cost more than metal braces?

Yes, ceramic braces are generally more expensive than metal braces due to the materials and extra care required. At iSmile Orthodontics, we offer interest-free payment options to make treatment more manageable. During your free consultation, we’ll give you a detailed quote and talk through flexible payment options that suit your budget.
