Ceramic Braces are often referred to as Clear Braces, Tooth-Colored Braces, or Aesthetic Braces. While they function like traditional braces, ceramic braces are made of a ceramic material and are designed to be less noticeable on your teeth than metal braces. When paired with clear, white, or tooth-colored wires, ceramic braces are a way to straighten your teeth in a less noticeable fashion than traditional braces.
Traditional adult braces are constructed to correct the alignment of your teeth using a framework of metal straightening wires and brackets. While braces certainly have cosmetic benefits, they also benefit you by making it easier to care for your teeth. Crooked and misaligned teeth are frequently more difficult to brush and floss effectively. By straightening your teeth, braces make it much easier to maintain oral hygiene.

In dentistry terms, an orthodontics handle the diagnosis, positioning of the jaw, and correction of misaligned teeth.
Straighten your teeth with a clear alternative to metal braces. (For Example: Invisalign®)
Clear aligners are a removable, discreet orthodontic treatment. They consist of a series of trays that you wear for several weeks at a time. As your teeth gently move into position, you start using the next set of trays.
Most issues that involve braces or some other orthodontic device will not be so serious that they qualify as an emergency. At Volunteer Orthodontics, we care about your health and want you to call us immediately if you experience an injury involving your braces or orthodontic appliance.
After you have completed your orthodontic treatment and your teeth are properly aligned, our orthodontist will provide you with a retainer. Retainers are a type of custom-made oral appliance designed to help keep your teeth in their newly straightened positions so that they do not shift out of alignment. (For Example Hawley Retainers, Clear -Essix Retainers & Fixed Retainers)
