Just as Effective & More Discreet
Not everyone likes the look of traditional metal braces. For some, sporting a silver smile just isn’t ideal. However, sometimes there are orthodontic problems that require the power of braces over clear aligners. For individuals who need both the power of traditional braces and a more discreet look, there are ceramic braces as well as 3M Advanced Clarity Ceramic Brackets. These braces have brackets that are colored to blend in with the teeth. While they are not fully invisible, they are much less visible than metal brackets.

Who is a Good Candidate for Clear/Ceramic Braces?
The best candidates for clear or ceramic braces in Round Rock are those who:
- Want a discreet appearance. Clear/ceramic braces are much more discreet than shiny metal brackets and wires, which is why they’re a great option for younger or older patients who are image conscious.
- Have moderate to more extensive orthodontic issues. Similar to traditional braces, ceramic braces can address a wide range of orthodontic problems, including bite misalignment, crowding, gaps, and more.
- Are dedicated to good oral hygiene. It’s important to maintain good at-home oral hygiene habits to stay on track with your treatment timeline.
- Want to straighten their smile faster. Asrar uses 3M Advanced Clarity ceramic brackets that take less time to place, are low-profile, and have been shown to straighten teeth in less time.
How Do Ceramic Braces Work?
Ceramic braces work identically to traditional metal braces. Instead of placing bulky metal brackets, Dr. Asrar will secure 3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets to the front surface of teeth. These are much smaller, have a lower profile, and can make treatment much more comfortable for patients, all while offering similarly effective results as traditional braces. They also tend to be much faster and more efficient at bonding to the teeth, making the first appointment you have with us more streamlined and comfortable.
After the ceramic brackets are adhered to the teeth, Dr. Asrar and our team at Big Smile Orthodontics will secure a tooth-colored archwire through them to place pressure onto the teeth that will allow them to move. Every six to eight weeks, you’ll return to our office for routine check-in visits and to make any necessary adjustments.
What Are the Benefits of Clear/Ceramic Braces Over Traditional Metal Braces?
The biggest benefit that ceramic braces have over traditional metal braces, and the top reason why patients choose them is because they’re much more discreet. They offer a lower profile and clear appearance that blends in with the natural color of the teeth that they’re adhered to. This makes them perfect for adults who are trying to maintain a more professional image as well as teens who are image conscious.
In addition to them being hardly noticeable, our 3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets also take less time to adhere and have a smooth surface and rounded corners. This can make your initial appointment with us much faster as well as your overall treatment experience more comfortable. Overall, these ceramic brackets have also been shown to offer slightly faster results due to their incredibly effective design.
