Should you get Ceramic Braces? Pros & Cons 

I'm planning to have ceramic braces but after watching this video, I'm confused now. 😅

I thought I'd offer my two cents on the topic. I got my ceramic braces about 2 months ago (December 10, 2020) and I've had a great experience so far. My orthodontist offered ceramic braces for no additional cost so I thought, why not. I was able to get ceramic on the top AND bottom, which I didn't expect. I'm so glad that I chose them over metal, I've had no trouble with staining and I've eaten foods that I thought would definitely stain! (For example, tomato soup, spicy udon noodle soup) I would recommend getting pearl elastics instead of the clear ones because they are more stain resistance. I love that in photos the braces don't show up, that has helped a lot with my self confidence. The other day my roommate forgot that I even had braces! I would say that if you think ceramic braces better fit your lifestyle, and you can afford them, go for it! If anyone has questions feel free to ask in the replies, I know I was binging braces videos leading up to my appointment :)

It is settled for me. Metal braces it is then. Thank you Dr.

I had ceramic braces (the in-ovation I believe) and I loved it

Thank you so much for this. I currently have the metal ones and I had some regrets because I am an actor and you can really see them on camera in my auditions. My manager suggested changing to ceramic and I was on the fence about it but this video let me know that I made the right decision and I will be keeping the metal ones. I’ll just have to do voice over work if they don’t want to see my braces on camera. Thank you.

Thanks for the honesty

I also have ceramic brackets on my top teeth and I am not looking forward to get them removed one day 😆 Pros: most people don’t see that I actually wear braces I don’t lisp because of them Cons: coffee stains Removing 😅 Let’s see how hard it will be

Thank you so much for this video! Really helpful.

I went stainless steel got them yesterday and very happy I did 😁

You are comparing your own use of ceramic brackets as a dental student to removal by experienced orthodontists. I don’t think that is a fair comparison, unless there are scientific papers supporting that ceramic brackets lead to more chipping.

Does the ceramic brackets stain or get yellow after a while?

When you say stainless steel does that mean metallic braces? Or it can still be that one wire across the teeth but metal and the little square things are still see through??? Also once the process is done are retainers for life required with those types of braces?

Why are we even assuming that one would want their crown to be removed? I think what's more important is how hard is the crown on the other natural teeth and the hygienic issues ..

Wish I was advised about this 35 years ago. My ortho pushed them cause he thought I might back out. In addition to all that was said, yhe ceramic are bigger and sharper than metal. And stain too

I had metal allergy with my metal braces.? I get suggestion to wear ceramic braces?Does the metal archwire in ceramic braces cause allergy? Please answer my query.

Thank you good sir

Hi, great video! What is your opinion on Invisalign? More chances of gum recession? Thanks, Angela

I'm extremely worried about putting metal in my mouth. It has nickel and aluminium in them which is toxic

I have found that the ceramic braces stick out further in there a lot more uncomfortable than the stainless steel. Words are just as uncomfortable because some buddy who designed braces did not put comfort in the design. No, I’m not talking about the uncomfortable part of your teeth moving that’s a given you can’t go away from that. I’m talking about these crazy ass things scraping the inside of your mouth or somebody tells me that you’re we’ll have to get used to it in your mouth will toughen up well I am 11 months into it and I still ain’t used to it. And yes I use wax probably too much but I dedicated two weeks. Do not using wax and no it’s just as uncomfortable as it was the first day as it is the 11th month

thank you for sharing it

Wish I would’ve seen this before lol, I got ceramic so far so good 4 months in , yes cost a little more, I just didn’t want to do the metal again, opted for less noticeable. But you can still see, I get colored bands just as metals. just nervous about when they take them off 🤦🏾‍♀️hope they don’t break my teeth.

I read that the nickel inside steel braces etc. is bad for my health. Is that true?

I have some crowding top and bottom after not wearing retainers for 10 years following train tracks to initially straighten my teeth as a teenager. I didnt have any extractions with the first set of braces. In your opinion would Smile Direct work for me now to re straighten my teeth? I've heard some good reviews and others that warn this type of re alignment can cause issues with your bite afterwards?

I was concerned about so much metal in my mouth with all the wifi and cell phones around. I don't want to be an antenna. Do you still use metal in the ceramic braces?

Is it safe to get smile direct club I have a gap in my front tooth and that’s it, 0 cavities, healthy gums.

Sir.. do i have to put braces if only one tooth is misaligned??

Sir can i ask, if i have a missing tooth, do i still have a chance to have a braces?
