Ceramic braces with silver ligatures.

This is how i change my power chains at home. One of the reasons for wearing ceramic braces instead of the traditional metal ones is them being much less noticeable. I m going to ask about options besides the clear ligatures when i get my braces on in 3 weeks. In most cases both the brackets and the elastics on ceramic braces come in transparent or tooth colored colors.

Ask your orthodontist for tooth colored wire. Sorry if it s a bit gross. Just like metal braces traditional ceramic braces and self ligating ceramic braces respectively have ligatures or clips that attach the wires to. This is less noticeable and will blend better with your ceramic braces and clear ligatures.

Like with metal braces one can choose to wear colorful elastic ties on the tooth colored brackets. Ceramic braces on the other hand have tooth colored or clear brackets and ligatures but still have metal wires notes the aao. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comment. You also have the option between traditional and self ligating braces.

There are some choices you can make however to make them even less obvious. Fortunately ceramic braces are already far subtler than traditional braces.
