What do ceramic braces look like? / What do clear braces look like?
The makeup of ceramic braces (including clear braces) is essentially the same as traditional dental braces. They’re an orthodontic apparatus comprised of brackets, wires and elastic bands. The difference between the two lies in the fact that with ceramic braces the bracket that is bonded to each individual tooth is made out of a translucent tooth-colored or clear material instead of metal, the benefit simply being an aesthetic one. The color and translucency of ceramic brackets allows them to blend in with the natural color of the patients’ teeth much more so than metal ones.
