Ceramic braces are the most frequently used type of braces in the world, especially when talking about the esthetic zone. Many adult patients worry about how their teeth will look, when wearing braces, but it really should not be an object of concern. Minor teeth misalignments can be easily corrected using Invisalign – teeth straightening splints, unfortunately, this method is rather expensive and does not always suit patient’s needs. Lingual braces might suit everyone, but are expensive nonetheless. Therefore, ceramic braces are an effective and esthetically looking alternative. Such braces subtly fade in with a color of a tooth, making them less noticeable. Newest researches has shown, that teeth position changes just as fast wearing ceramic braces, as it changes wearing standard metal braces.

”Clarity “and “Clarity advanced”

Top choice, both by patients and orthodontists, is ”Clarity “and “Clarity advanced” ceramic braces. The latter are the smallest and the most convenient ceramic braces in the market. Due to special construction these braces break vertically, instead of breaking horizontally, when removed, thus causing no discomfort for a patient. Seldomly, brackets can break throughout the treatment, but such brace can be easily replaced. Due to high-quality ceramics, braces’ color does not change eventually.

The importance of braces care

When straightening your teeth with ceramic braces, it is necessary to spend some time on daily maintenance. Fixed braces make individual oral hygiene a little more complicated, but a targeted cleaning every morning and evening can prevent plaque build-up, enamel damage and demineralisation stains. Remember, it is not the braces themselves that damage the teeth, but the neglect of the teeth and the careless cleaning of the braces.

When wearing ceramic braces, optimal teeth cleaning requires

  • a toothbrush and toothpaste or a special gel, which you use in a sweeping motion to clean each bracket separately on all four sides;
  • a brush with extended bristles, which you can use to brush your teeth in a normal sweeping or circular motion;
  • a toothbrush and toothpaste or a special gel, the essence of this step is to brush the teeth in a motion parallel to the surface of the retainer dental floss, one of the hard ends of which needs to be inserted at the nipple of the gums, in the groove of the gums, in a projection above the arc connecting the brackets.

A mouthwash which, it should be noted, does not need to be used daily, but periodic rinsing is recommended. “staining” tablets, which, like mouthwash, are intended as a preventive check to make sure that you have brushed your teeth perfectly. Teeth with fixed ceramic braces should be cleaned daily and in a leisurely manner, using dental care products to clean each arch of the teeth separately. Don’t forget to clean your tongue too. Unnecessary plaque also accumulates on it. Although the price of ceramic braces is not low, the results after treatment are obvious.

I have been visiting Pilėnė for many years. Only the best marks to all the doctors for the quality of their work, thanks to them the fear of dental treatment is reduced, they work gently and the nurses are always supportive. A special hangover for the hygienist Jūrate. Thorough, kind, never in a hurry and always pleasant.
