Did you know…
Ceramic braces are made from clear or tooth-colored materials, blending in with your teeth and making them less noticeable.

The Benefits Of Ceramic Braces
Less visible on teeth
Compared to metal braces, the transparent or tooth-colored components of ceramic braces have much less of an effect on your appearance. This can help you feel more comfortable and confident during your treatment.
Extremely versatile
Just like metal braces, ceramic braces can help correct crooked teeth, gaps in your smile, bite problems, and more. They're a highly versatile treatment.
Enhanced comfort
The brackets used for ceramic braces are smoother and less likely to cause irritation, which helps you feel more comfortable during your treatment.
The Ceramic Braces Treatment Process
Orthodontic consultation
First, you’ll come to Foster Orthodontics to meet with our Lawrenceville orthodontist. He will perform a comprehensive oral exam and take x-rays of your mouth and jaws. Together, you can discuss your orthodontic challenges and decide if ceramic braces in Lawrenceville, GA are right for you.
Applying your braces
Once you’re approved for treatment, you’ll come back to get your braces. Dr. Foster will attach tooth-colored or transparent brackets to your teeth, then place an archwire through these brackets. This will be held in place by transparent or tooth-colored elastics. It usually takes about two hours to have your braces applied at our office.
Routine adjustments
About every 4-6 weeks, you’ll come into Foster Orthodontics for a consultation with Dr. Foster. He’ll check your progress, then adjust your braces to continue the proper movement of your teeth and jaws. This process will continue until your treatment is over.
Before & Afters
A smile is worth 1,000 words.
Are Ceramic Braces As Effective As Traditional Metal Braces?

Yes. They are just as effective as metal braces and can correct the same orthodontic issues. However, ceramic braces do tend to be a bit more delicate. This means that it’s really important to follow Dr. Foster’s dietary guidelines and other instructions to keep your braces in good shape.
Do Ceramic Braces Turn Yellow?
No. The ceramic brackets used in your treatment will never become stained. However, it’s possible for the elastics on your brackets to become stained over time. You can reduce the likelihood of staining by maintaining good oral hygiene and cutting back on staining foods and beverages, like coffee, tea, and curry.
And even if your elastics do become discolored, don't worry. They're swapped out every time you visit Foster Orthodontics for an adjustment, so your smile will be back to looking its best after your next scheduled visit.
