Ceramic/Clear Braces

Next generation ceramic brackets are revolutionary as they are small, strong, comfortable and discreet.

Made from a ceramic material, they can blend in more with your natural tooth colour providing a more attractive alternative to traditional metal braces.

They are designed to be stain resistant so you won’t suffer the embarrassment of discoloured braces.
