Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces are the choice of those who strive for effective teeth alignment without sacrificing aesthetics. At Crystal Dent clinic, you will receive professional installation of ceramic braces in Kyiv, where an experienced Crystal Dent orthodontist guarantees an individual approach and the use of modern technologies.

These systems have become popular due to the perfect combination of aesthetics, high wearing comfort, and proven treatment effectiveness. We use only high-quality materials to create the ideal smile, adapting to the unique characteristics of each patient.

Let’s figure out what ceramic braces are and why doctors increasingly recommend this type of system.

Ceramic braces are orthodontic constructions used for bite correction and teeth alignment. Their main element is the slot made of polycrystalline aluminum oxide, which imitates the color of natural tooth enamel.

What are ceramic braces and how do they differ from metal ones?

Material and appearance

Metal systems are noticeable due to the use of steel. Ceramic ones are almost invisible on the teeth because their color is matched to the shade of enamel (aesthetics).

Comfort

Ceramic elements have a smoother surface and rounded edges, which reduce irritation of the oral mucosa.

Functionality

Both systems are highly effective, but ceramic braces may require a longer treatment time due to greater friction of the archwire in the slot.

Ceramic systems are divided into two main types depending on how the archwire is fixed to the bracket:

1. Ligature ceramic braces: in these systems, the orthodontic archwire is attached to each bracket using elastic ties (ligatures) or thin metal wire. Ligatures require periodic replacement (usually once every 3–4 weeks) as they stretch and lose their force.
2. Self-ligating ceramic braces. This is a more modern type of system where each bracket is equipped with a special locking mechanism or cap that holds the archwire. They provide less friction, which potentially speeds up treatment and, importantly, require fewer adjustments and visits to the orthodontist.

Here are the main advantages:

• Semi-transparent material almost invisible on the teeth. Ideal for adults.
• Smooth and rounded shape reduces the risk of oral mucosa injury.
• Provide reliable fixation and high precision of tooth movement.

The installation process of a brace system is a carefully planned procedure that includes several key stages ensuring successful and effective treatment. 

So how are ceramic braces installed at Crystal Dent clinic? Let’s review the main stages:

1. Orthodontist consultation. At the first appointment, the doctor performs an examination, determines the bite problem, and listens to the patient’s wishes regarding aesthetics and treatment duration.
2. Diagnostics and treatment planning. The doctor prescribes radiographic examination (OPG, Teleradiography), takes dental impressions and photos. Based on these data, an individual treatment plan is developed, indicating the type of braces, duration, and expected result.
3. Brace system installation. The tooth surface is carefully prepared (cleaning, drying), after which each ceramic bracket is fixed with special orthodontic adhesive. After all brackets are installed, the archwire is secured. The procedure takes about 1 hour and is completely painless.

Regular adjustments and control. The patient visits the orthodontist periodically (usually once every 4–8 weeks) for archwire replacement, ligature replacement (if used), and system activation.

After ceramic braces are installed, care is critically important to prevent cavities and maintain the system’s aesthetics throughout the treatment period.

How to clean?

It is necessary to brush teeth after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush with a special cut, interdental brushes for cleaning the space under the archwire and around the brackets, as well as superfloss or an irrigator.

Hygiene 

It is recommended to rinse the mouth after consuming staining products.

What to avoid?

It is important to know what not to eat with ceramic braces. One should exclude:

• hard foods (nuts, crackers, hard candies) to avoid damaging the braces;
• sticky foods (chewing gum, caramels), as they can detach brackets;
• staining foods and drinks (coffee, black tea, red wine, turmeric) — they can stain ligatures and elastic chains, although the ceramic itself is resistant to staining.

Professional hygiene

Regular professional teeth cleaning (every 3–6 months) at a hygienist is mandatory.
