At Dentist of Cerritos, we can help transform even the most crooked smiles. Porcelain ceramic braces are a wonderful option for straightening your teeth and perfecting your smile. Crooked and crowded teeth can cause worry, self-doubt, and low confidence levels. However, porcelain ceramic braces are barely visible so you can straighten your teeth without most people knowing!
Porcelain ceramic braces are made of different materials than metal braces. Though they are less noticeable, they sometimes may need to be worn longer than traditional metal braces because they are slightly less sturdy. However, they are particularly popular with young adults who want to maintain a professional appearance while straightening their teeth.
Porcelain ceramic braces are often clear or tooth-colored, making them less noticeable than metal braces. They are often chosen for this reason, but they are also associated with other benefits. For example, the porcelain or ceramic brackets are smooth. Therefore, they do not require wax, unlike metal braces. Though this comfortable option is somewhat more expensive, it is still affordable, especially with Dentist of Cerritos’ easy financing plans!
Porcelain ceramic braces can provide the reliability of traditional braces while offering the clear benefits of Invisalign®. This middle-of-the-road approach can provide you with an affordable option while straightening your teeth and beautifying your smile. Although they are slightly more expensive than metal braces, they are still cheaper than Invisalign® trays.
Dentist of Cerritos offers patients traditional metal braces and Invisalign® aligners as two alternatives to porcelain ceramic braces. Metal braces straighten your teeth a little more quickly than porcelain ceramic braces, though they are more noticeable and less comfortable. They are often the most inexpensive orthodontic option available. Conversely, Invisalign® is typically the most expensive option but also the most invisible. However, the aligning trays must be worn a minimum of 22 hours a day.
If you want a less noticeable option but are having difficulty choosing between porcelain ceramic braces and Invisalign®, there are a few things to consider. First, porcelain ceramic braces cannot be removed, unlike Invisalign® trays. Second, though porcelain ceramic braces are practically clear, they are not as clear as Invisalign®. Finally, if you are worried about losing or misplacing the trays or do not want to worry about wearing them at least 22 hours a day, porcelain ceramic braces may be right for you.
Porcelain ceramic braces are cared for in the same manner as metal braces. However, it is best to be slightly more careful since they are not as durable. For example, it is best to avoid hard and sticky foods. At Dentist of Cerritos, we can show you the best way to brush and floss your porcelain ceramic braces, and dental picks can help you reach stray food particles.
The cost of porcelain ceramic braces from Dentist of Cerritos can vary. For example, if a patient has dental insurance, they may pay for some of the cost. This depends on your insurance plan, and Dentist of Cerritos can help you assess your benefits. We also offer affordable dental care and easy payment plans to the residents of California, and we will be happy to work with you to design a plan without breaking your budget.
