Fixed white braces—often referred to as ceramic braces—offer the exceptional orthodontic precision and control of traditional metal braces, but with a far more subtle, discreet aesthetic. By utilising clear or tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural shade of your enamel, fixed white braces allow patients to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious about their appearance. At The Dental Gallery in Ealing, ceramic braces are a popular choice for both adults and image-conscious teenagers looking for effective alignment with low visibility.
Under the care of the clinic’s skilled orthodontic team, white ceramic brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected using subtle, tooth-coloured archwires. This system works continuously to correct complex misalignments, severe crowding, bite issues, and gaps. Combining proven mechanical effectiveness with discreet cosmetic appeal, fixed white braces deliver outstanding, predictable results while keeping your treatment under wraps.
Clear or tooth-coloured brackets blend naturally with your teeth, making your braces far less noticeable than metal alternatives.
Delivers the power and control of fixed orthodontics, making it suitable for severe crowding, rotation, and bite issues.
Crafted from durable ceramic materials that resist discolouration from food and drinks throughout your treatment.
Permanently fixed to your teeth during treatment, ensuring progress happens non-stop without worrying about misplaced aligners.
While both systems function identically to align teeth using brackets and wires, fixed white braces feature ceramic, tooth-coloured brackets and subtle wires instead of noticeable stainless steel components.
The ceramic brackets themselves are highly resistant to staining. However, the clear or white elastic bands used to hold the wire in place can discolour if you consume heavily pigmented foods (like curry or red wine). These elastic bands are routinely replaced at every adjustment visit.
Treatment duration typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your bite and alignment goals. Your clinician will outline a personalized timeline during your assessment.
Yes, fixed white braces are an ideal solution for both adults and teenagers who want a highly effective fixed alignment treatment without the high-visibility look of traditional metal braces.
