Also referred to as esthetic brackets, ceramic brackets are used to create braces that blend in with a patient's teeth, making their orthodontic treatment less invasive. Fabricated from high strength ceramic polymers, these brackets can be white or translucent, and often they are used with clear or white wires to be less visibly obvious. Having a ceramic bracket option available for your patients is a great idea because patients who might balk at the metal-mouth look of stainless steel braces, might be excited to learn about more esthetic options.
