Ceramic Braces And Rubber Bands

These are connected to the brackets with hooks often connecting the top tooth bracket with the bottom tooth bracket to help adjust the position of the teeth in the mouth and the position of the jaw.

Ceramic braces and rubber bands.

The orthodontist bonds a clear ceramic bracket to the tooth surface and attaches ligatures tiny rubber bands to thin metal archwires to realign the teeth. This is a type of ceramic braces where the wire clips directly into the bracket eliminating the need for stainable elastics around each bracket. Ask your orthodontist for tooth colored wire. This is less noticeable and will blend better with your ceramic braces and clear ligatures.

Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces in terms of structure but they re less noticeable because they use clear or tooth colored brackets rather than gray or metallic colored components. The final part of braces are interarch rubber bands which are used to adjust bite and jaw position. They re finally moving having to wear the rubber band. Ask your orthodontist for self ligating ceramic braces.
