Clear Ceramic Braces Bethel Park
A Subtle Way to Straighten Your Smile
While orthodontic treatment can create a wide range of improvement for a patient’s smile and overall oral health, most people are hoping for an aesthetic transformation – particularly straighter, more uniform teeth. However, the thought of having to wear noticeably metal braces for months or even years on end to accomplish this big change can feel like a roadblock, especially for image-conscious teenagers and adults with professional images to maintain. At Smiles by Palmer, our team understands these concerns very well, and we can help you find the right alternative for your orthodontic journey.

How Do Ceramic Braces Work?
Much like traditional braces, the application process will consist of tooth-colored ceramic brackets. The arch wire snaps into the bracket. Over the course of your treatment, the arch wire will apply a controlled amount of pressure to the teeth in order to gradually shift them to their desired position. This wire will likely be changed during follow-up appointments.
What Are the Advantages of Ceramic Braces?
The biggest positive point of choosing ceramic braces is that they’re much less noticeable than their traditional metal counterparts. This means that patients will feel more confident about their orthodontic treatment and be able to carry on with their professional and personal routines as normal. It’s good to know that people are focusing on your smile instead of your braces, after all!
However, ceramic braces also come with some potential disadvantages that patients should keep in mind. For instance, ceramic braces do cost more on average than the metal version.
As with any orthodontic approach, it’s very important to discuss all of this information with Dr. Palmer so that he can help you select the treatment that best fits your unique lifestyle and preferences. We want to give you plenty of reasons to smile!
