About Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces work in the same way as traditional fixed braces, but the brackets are made from a clear or tooth-coloured material that blends in with your teeth. They give you all the reliability and precision of fixed braces with far less visibility.

They're a popular choice for adults and older teens who want fixed treatment but would rather it wasn't obvious, a great option when clear aligners aren't the right fit for the case.

At Portman Smile Clinic Banstead, ceramic braces are fitted and adjusted by our Specialist Orthodontist, with regular check-ins to keep your treatment on track. We'll give you simple advice on cleaning and care so everything stays looking its best throughout.

Common questions

Are ceramic braces as effective as metal?

Yes. They move teeth just as effectively, the difference is mainly cosmetic, with tooth-coloured brackets in place of metal.

Will they stain?

The brackets are stain-resistant. We'll give you simple guidance on food, drink and cleaning to keep everything looking its best.

How long does treatment take?

Most treatments take between twelve and twenty-four months depending on the case. We'll confirm your estimate at your consultation.
