Ceramic orthodontic brackets are less resistant to pressure due to their material and can be broken more easily. The braces are also much larger than the metal ones, and are a bit sharper and tougher, which may hurt you after a few days.
The length of treatment with ceramic braces is slightly longer than the length of treatment with metal braces. This is because the orthodontist must use less force during treatment to reduce the risk of ceramic fracture. Also, because the material of these braces is tougher than enamel, contact with the teeth can cause tooth erosion.
In ceramic orthodontics, white or transparent rubber is used for aesthetic purposes. This rubber may change color over time, but if you don’t drink a lot of tea or coffee, nothing special will happen. Because this rubber is replaced by the orthodontist once a month. Another disadvantage of using ceramic braces is that they are more difficult and difficult to remove than metal ones. Because ceramic braces are closer to the enamel tissue, they have stronger bonding strength. The cost of ceramic braces is relatively higher than the cost of traditional braces, because this type of braces is more complex and has to spend more time in this field by the orthodontist.
