Frequently asked questions
Do ceramic braces stain teeth?
Brackets themselves are resistant, but elastic ties can discolour. Professional colour choice and diet advice help. Tooth enamel stains are separate hygiene issues.
Ceramic vs aligners—which is better?
Fixed ceramic braces suit patients who need continuous force without relying on tray hours. Aligners suit disciplined wearers with suitable bite patterns. Exam decides.
