Categorizes of Braces with ceramic brackets
Traditional ceramic braces
This is the most basic solution in the process of braces with the same principle as metal braces. Using elastic to keep the arch wire in the brackets from moving against the teeth.

Duration
Compared to traditional braces, self-ligating metal braces will help you reduce the time of braces from 4-6 months. The exact time to wear braces will depend on how the brackets are worn, the condition of your teeth and the age of the person wearing the brackets. The sooner the braces are placed, the faster your braces will be. On average, braces time will last from 12-24 months.
Durability
Simply because metal is more sturdy than ceramic, ceramic braces are far less durable than metal braces. A 2016 studyTrusted Source discovered that even with regular contact from biting down, ceramic braces are more than twice as likely to break than metal braces.
Here are some additional things to know about the durability of ceramic braces:
- Ceramic braces are generally considered to be durable and strong enough to withstand the forces of orthodontic treatment. They are made from a high-grade ceramic material that is resistant to wear and tear.
- Ceramic braces are also less prone to breakage than other types of clear aligners or removable appliances.
- However, ceramic braces are not completely indestructible, and they can still break or chip under certain circumstances, such as if they are hit or knocked during physical activities.
- Ceramic braces require proper care and maintenance to ensure their durability. Patients should avoid hard or sticky foods, and follow their orthodontist’s instructions for proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing.
- In some cases, ceramic braces may require more frequent adjustments than metal braces, which can increase the risk of breakage or damage. Patients should follow their orthodontist’s recommendations for regular check-ups and adjustments.
- The durability of ceramic braces can also depend on the individual patient’s oral health and habits, such as teeth grinding or clenching. Patients with these habits may require additional protective measures, such as a nightguard, to prevent damage to their braces.
Overall, ceramic braces are a durable and effective orthodontic treatment option for many patients. However, it’s important to follow proper care and maintenance guidelines to ensure their longevity and minimize the risk of breakage or damage.
Do ceramic braces stain?
Although the elastic ties used to secure the ceramic brackets to the wire can discolor, they don’t do so quickly. Following are some pointers to prevent staining ceramic bracket ties:
- After each meal, brush your teeth and floss. This assists in removing food particles that could cause staining.

- Avoid smoking. Smoking can leave stains on your teeth and all parts of your braces that are yellow in color.
- Use non-whitening toothpaste instead. Your exposed tooth surface may become whiter than the underlying tooth as a result of whitening products.
- Regularly visit your orthodontist. If necessary, your orthodontist can replace ceramic brackets or ties that are discolored.
