Clear Braces, Yo! It’s a thing!

what are ceramic braces

Not digging metal braces? Then ceramic braces may be your choice! At Lineberger Orthodontics, Dr. Matt Lineberger, Dr. Megan Lineberger, Dr. David Pearson and Dr. Claire Fedore offer ceramic braces for the residents of Charlotte, Huntersville and Mooresville in North Carolina.

WHAT ARE CERAMIC BRACES?

Ceramic braces are just one of the ways that Lineberger Orthodontics makes wearing braces more convenient for our patients.

Instead of having metal brackets and bands which everyone can clearly see, the brackets attached to your teeth are made of a ceramic material that is more discreet. Suh-weeeet!

The Damon Clear bracket system allows patients the benefits of traditional orthodontics without the traditional metal look.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CERAMIC BRACES?

  • Braces are less visible on your teeth
  • Used for treating similar conditions as traditional metal braces
  • Perfect for children, teens and adults who may feel self-conscious with metal brackets

HOW DO CERAMIC BRACES WORK?

Damon clear ceramic braces work the same way as traditional metal Damon braces, except people have to look really hard to see them. The standard set up for ceramic braces is having a bracket bonded to each of the front teeth.

The wire is laid on top of the brackets and held in place via a door mechanism incorporated into the bracket. This reduces the need for colored ties to be placed on the teeth, if preferred.

This design slowly moves your teeth each time the archwire is adjusted. It sounds complicated, but we swear it’s easy peasy.

WHAT CAN BE CORRECTED WITH CERAMIC BRACES?

  • Bite problems
  • Crooked teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Front teeth that stick out
  • Crowding
  • Overlapping teeth

HOW MUCH DO CERAMIC BRACES COST?

We can give you pricing for ceramic and traditional braces to help you decide; the results of both types of treatments are similar.

DOES INSURANCE COVER CERAMIC BRACES?

Many dental insurance plans include covering some of the cost of braces.  When you schedule your complimentary consultation, our office will contact your dental insurance carrier to see what coverage your specific plan has.

Barely visible ceramic braces are the bomb. Lineberger Orthodontics offers ceramic braces for the residents of Charlotte, Huntersville, Mooresville, and surrounding communities in North Carolina.
