Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces, making them particularly popular among older teenagers and adult patients. Their subtle appearance makes them less visible on the teeth, providing patients with increased confidence during orthodontic treatment. It is important to note that ceramic braces require meticulous oral hygiene as they are larger and more fragile than metal braces. For these reasons, ceramic braces are often recommended for use on the upper front teeth rather than the lower teeth.
