Joplin & Pittsburg Ceramic Braces
Convenient Braces for a Confident Smile
At LaFerla Wilson Orthodontics, ceramic braces offer the power of traditional braces with a more discreet look. These tooth-colored brackets blend in with your smile, which makes them a great choice if you want effective treatment without the bold look of metal braces.
Very Visible Results
Ceramic braces offer the same strength and effectiveness as metal braces but with a more low-profile, aesthetic design. Instead of stainless steel, these braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets.
At LaFerla Wilson Orthodontics, we recommend ceramic braces for patients who want a powerful orthodontic solution without the noticeable appearance of conventional metal braces.
How Clear Braces Work
Clear braces function like conventional metal braces—they use brackets and wires to shift your teeth into the best position.
The key difference? Instead of metal, the brackets are made from a durable, tooth-colored ceramic material that blends in with your smile for a more subtle appearance.
At LaFerla Wilson Orthodontics, Dr. LaFerla and Dr. Wilson customize your treatment using advanced techniques to ensure your clear braces provide the same reliable, effective results as metal braces.
The Clearest Benefits
With the strength of metal braces and a discreet, tooth-colored design, ceramic braces offer the best of both worlds. Whether a teen or an adult, you can enjoy a more subtle treatment while enjoying powerful, lasting results.
Low-Profile Look
You don't have to worry about braces taking center stage in your smile. Ceramic braces blend in with your natural tooth color, making them an excellent choice for patients who want an effective treatment without the bold look of metal brackets.
Reliable Alignment
Like conventional braces, clear braces can correct even the most complex orthodontic cases. Whether you have crowding, gaps, or bite issues, ceramic braces provide consistent, predictable results with a more aesthetic approach.
Designed for Comfort
Made from smooth, polished ceramic, clear braces reduce irritation to your cheeks and gums compared to traditional metal braces. Despite their discreet look, they're strong enough to handle tough tooth movements, ensuring a durable, long-lasting solution for your smile.
Clear Versus Metal
When choosing between ceramic and metal braces, you'll find that both offer powerful results—but each comes with its own unique advantages. The best option depends on your lifestyle, treatment needs, and aesthetic preferences.
Here's how they compare:
- Clear braces are a great choice if you want a discreet treatment option. Their tooth-colored brackets blend in with your smile, making them less noticeable than metal braces. Ceramic braces may be the way to go if you prefer a subtle look for professional or personal reasons.
- Metal braces might be the better fit if you have more complex smile needs. While ceramic and metal braces use the same method to straighten teeth, metal braces are slightly stronger and can handle more intense adjustments. Dr. LaFerla or Dr. Wilson may recommend metal braces for optimal results for severe misalignments.
The Clear, Comfortable Choice
Choosing ceramic braces means you get the power of braces with a more subtle, aesthetic look—so your smile shines throughout the treatment.
