Cons of orthodontics with brackets of the same color as the teeth

The main concern in orthodontics with ceramic braces of the same color as the teeth is the fragility of these brackets compared to metal ones. This fragility causes the orthodontist to place moderate pressure on the tooth compared to metal braces, which can be restrictive.

Depending on your orthodontic treatment, this difference between metal and ceramic braces may not interfere with the healing process. In some cases, this restriction may prolong the treatment process. Depending on your circumstances, your orthodontist may not find orthodontic treatment with braces the same color as your teeth. Also, ceramic brackets that are the same color as the teeth need more care and are more likely to break when chewing and sudden pressures. Frequent breakage of ceramic braces without care can increase the duration of treatment and, of course, the cost of treatment. Another disadvantage of braces with the same color as the teeth is their higher cost compared to metal brackets.

Today, with the advancement of science and technology, composite braces have been made, which, while maintaining the advantages of ceramic braces, have also overcome the disadvantages of these braces. However, the higher cost of these braces compared to metal braces is still an issue.
