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?
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.
