A Comfortable Way to a Confident Smile
A Discreet Solution to Straighten Your Teeth
Ceramic braces offer a more aesthetic way for you to straighten your teeth while still receiving a dependable result. They move teeth with the same steady progress as traditional braces, but with a design that blends naturally into your smile. Dr. Cramer can help you decide whether this option fits your goals, focusing on comfort and lasting results along the way.
What Are the Benefits of Ceramic Braces?
Natural, low-profile appearance
Ceramic braces are designed to blend in with your smile, making them less noticeable than traditional metal options.
Comfort designed for daily wear
Many patients find ceramic braces comfortable once they adjust, with smooth materials intended to feel less bulky during everyday activities.
Durable materials you can rely on
Ceramic braces are made to hold up through everyday life, from meals to busy schedules, while keeping teeth moving steadily in the right direction.
Consistent, effective tooth movement
Because they stay in place and work continuously, ceramic braces guide teeth into alignment day and night.
What to Expect with Ceramic Braces?
When you choose ceramic braces, Dr. Cramer begins with a thoughtful consultation to understand your needs, your goals, and how you want your smile to look after treatment. From there, he creates a customized plan designed to guide your teeth into place in a steady, predictable way. Here’s what the process looks like:
The Start
Treatment begins with careful planning. Each bracket is carefully placed to guide your teeth into the right position, step by step.
The Journey
About every four to six weeks, you’ll visit the office for small adjustments that keep progress moving forward.
The Result
When treatment is complete, the brackets are removed to reveal your straightened smile. To help protect your results, you’ll receive comfortable retainers designed to keep your teeth in place long term.
