Ceramic braces have been around for several decades. They are of the same size and shape as metal braces, only that they have a tooth-coloured like appearance that is known to blend with the teeth. That said, they work in such a way that every orthodontics patient can achieve the much straighter teeth they desire, without having to sacrifice their white smile.

What’s The Deal With White Braces?

Braces have come a long way since the traditional metal brackets and wires that we may be familiar with. Today, there are many different types of braces available, including white braces. White braces offer a more discreet option for those who may feel self-conscious about their braces. In this blog post, we will explore the cost of white braces, the types of white braces available, the advantages and disadvantages of white braces, oral hygiene and food restrictions with white braces, and how to keep white braces clean.

Cost of White Braces

White braces have become increasingly popular for their stylish and discreet appearance, but how much do they cost, and is the investment worth it? Let’s dive in and find out.

When it comes to the cost, white braces can vary depending on the type and the orthodontist’s location. One thing is for sure: they tend to be slightly more expensive than traditional metal braces due to the additional materials used to make them. With prices ranging from £1500 to £2500, it’s worth considering the factors that contribute to this difference.

As with most things in life, where you live can have a significant impact on the cost of white braces. An orthodontist in a less affordable postcode might charge more for their services than one in a more affordable area. So, if you’re looking to save on your stylish smile investment, you might consider shopping around for an orthodontist with more competitive fees.

Types of White Braces

There are a few different types of white braces available, including ceramic braces and lingual braces. Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are made from clear or tooth-coloured materials that blend in with the teeth. They are very subtle and blending in with your teeth means that these can be a much more discreet form of braces if that is what you are looking for.

Lingual braces, on the other hand, are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. They are made from a much more visible material than ceramic braces, but, since they are attached to the back of your teeth, they are much less easy to identify, and you could go about your daily life without anyone knowing that you were wearing braces.

Clear Braces vs. White Braces

Clear braces and white braces may seem similar, but they are actually quite different. Clear braces are made from clear plastic aligners that are customized to fit the patient’s teeth. These aligners are removed and replaced every few weeks to gradually move the teeth into the desired position. White braces, on the other hand, are fixed in place and cannot be removed until the end of treatment.

Advantages of White Braces

One of the main advantages of white braces is their discreet appearance. Unlike traditional metal braces, white braces blend in with the teeth and are less noticeable. This can be especially beneficial for adults or teenagers who may feel self-conscious about wearing braces. Additionally, white braces can be more comfortable than metal braces, as they are made from smoother materials.

Another advantage of white braces is the comfort of these types of braces. White braces are made from smoother materials, which can make them more comfortable than metal braces. This is because metal braces have brackets that can be rough and irritating to the inside of the mouth. White braces are also less likely to cause discomfort during adjustments, which is another advantage for patients who are sensitive to pain.

Disadvantages of White Braces

While there are many advantages to white braces, there are also some disadvantages to consider. One of the main disadvantages is their cost. As mentioned earlier, white braces tend to be more expensive than traditional metal braces.  Typically, white braces are more expensive than traditional metal braces due to the higher cost of the materials used. This can be a significant consideration for those who are on a tight budget and may not be able to afford the additional cost of white braces.

Additionally, white braces may not be as durable as metal braces, and the brackets may be more prone to breaking or chipping. The brackets used in white braces are made from a ceramic material, which can be more prone to breaking or chipping compared to metal brackets. While this is not a common occurrence, it can be a concern for those who are particularly active or play contact sports.

Oral Hygiene with White Braces

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential when wearing braces, regardless of the type of braces chosen. With white braces, it can be more difficult to see any food particles or plaque that may be trapped around the brackets. It is important to brush and floss regularly to prevent any build-up and ensure the teeth and braces stay clean.

Food Restrictions with White Braces

There are certain foods that should be avoided when wearing braces, as they can damage the brackets or wires. Sticky or hard foods, such as gum, caramel, or popcorn, should be avoided. Additionally, it is important to cut up any hard fruits or vegetables into small pieces before eating them.

How to Keep White Braces Clean

Keeping white braces clean is important not only for the appearance of the braces but also for maintaining good oral health. To keep white braces clean, it is recommended to brush after every meal and floss daily. Special attention should be given to cleaning around the brackets and wires to remove any food particles or plaque that may be trapped. It is also a good idea to use an interdental brush or water flosser to clean in between the brackets and wires.

White braces offer a more discreet option for those who may feel self-conscious about wearing braces. While they may be more expensive than traditional metal braces, the benefits of their appearance, ease of cleaning and the effectiveness of their treatment on teeth, it is a braces option that you should seriously consider when looking at orthodontic treatment options.

[ashmp3]

i was at the dentist appointment today and tell me why she complimented my teeth the whole time and you know ME miss “jeonghan tic tac teeth” to say i was geeked is an understatement. She said, and i quote “Most important your teeth are all so healthy no cavities anywhere and they are all in such a beautiful shapes” and i was like Ummm no do you see how the lateral incisor from the left is smaller and she said “You are so critical. Imagine if you had big square teeth it would clash with you image - Yours go naturally with your thin frame” LMFAOOOOO she said “vitak stas” to paint the picture better. she also commented how unusually sharp my canines are 🥰 And in the middle of the cleaning she stopped and said “You should wear contacts your eyes are so beautiful - what a rare and striking shade of blue” (i told her i do wear them usually but i’ve been staring at my laptop screen whole day and my eyes were hurting) 10/10 experience i always love going to the dentist maybe that’s why they love me too

I loved the idea of the spirits of these two unplayable versions of the main monsters getting to be close as a cute disabled4disabled couple who hang out in the binder, or behind the Kame counter and go on cute dates while everyone else is out dueling!

BUD-A-BOOP-BOP! TWINS!

boy HOWDY have some THURSDAY NIGHT SCRIMBLES! 🥳 Now in magical TECHICOLOUR! It's older Twins! Fino and Fiera!

Design stuff below the cut 🤗🤗

My god I'm having fun with these markers. But the colours are LIMITED as I only have like 2 starter sets and they're FUN but deffs I could use a few more in betweens.

ANYWAY. DESIGNS.

Fino

Doing my boy first bc we already had fun with Older Fiera ages ago lmao

I'd been wanting to share his older design for AGES tbh! Had it in me head around the same time as I shared the older twins and Jacquie scribbles lol. ANYWAY

He is SEMI fancy! Big fan of button downs and vests/waistcoats!

Doesn't ALWAYS wear the vest

His shirts 9/10 times have funky patterns. Like fungi or flowers or just the weirdest fucking designs you EVER did see. His siblings and orc friend (Kenothy) all make it a fun game to find him the most OBNOXIOUSLY WEIRD SHIRTS. His collection is HUGE and VARIED and HURTS THE EYES FIFTY PERCENT OF THE TIME

he is like a walking mullet but the business is on top, the party is below. He is a jeans man through and through and you can pry his converse/kicks off his cold, dead feet tbh. they are ALWAYS red. he probably has like 10 pairs like some kinda cartoon character

belt is pink bc fiera's magic! the inside of his cloak is rainbow, like his twin's fire :D

the cloak also does have a big old hood and covers his whole him so he can look mysteriouse

and then give people whiplash when he whips the cloak back and pulls the hood down and. well. on fire colourful schemey looking young man

everyone's usually like "i didn't expect the freckles. or the fungi shirt"

the fungi shirt is his fave

plz picture a fungi pattern all over his shirt!

when he uses his staff, the flame turns rainbow too and the snowflake glows :3

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fino's warlock aesthetic is "i live in your local forest and i love my family and i'm making it everyone's problem"

the outside of the cloak is a nice forest green! bc he likes forests (if that wasn't obvious lol)

he's pretty chill but has resting plotting face. generally if he's looking like that he has examined every angle of a situation and is about to make a bigger one. or fix the current one. or both!! and is VERY proud of himself!!!! (as he SHOULD be!)

he and Fiera ARE the same height but I drew Fiera first and started Fino top down as you do but neglected to watch the height lol. so just know. they are BOTH tall and BOTH the same height!!!!

He is the BEST warlock of the current era he is warlocking in. If Uncle Pyros was around he'd be mad jealous. Same with Granny Frost tbh. Grandpa Winter would like, lift him up like Simba like "THAT'S MY GRANDBSON! THE BEST WARLOCK IN THE WHOLE WORLD!"

(if the bio grandparents were around, you bet it would be a big case of "the in-laws don't get along" lmao)

Fiera

pink is her fave colour and the colour of her magic, so her shirt, shoes, AND hair ribbons are all pink, but it's a lil light, innit? like i said, limited colours lol

BUT WE'RE HAVING A GRAND OLD TIME DOWN THIS WAY.

EVEN IF MY NOSE SMELLS LIKE ALCOHOL ALL THE DAMN TIME

RIGHT. FIERA.

HOT PANTS! SHE'S GOT HOT PANTS!!! They're not that dark blue, bit of a lighter wash for her denim (but I don't have a lot of blue options lol)

suspenders are red bc FINO'S MAGIC! one is always hanging off of her, the other is always up. she doesn't do this on purpose it just HAPPENS bc she doesn't actually really need them? it's the FASHION. the STYLE.

sometimes hair ribbons are red too, bc Fino magic :3

ALSO wears converse but the boot like ones, bc I've always wanted a pair of boot converse! They look SOO COOL and SOO INCONVENIENT, AND THEY ARE COLOURFUL! I mean. Fiera's are pink but I'VE SEEN ALL THE COLOURS. AND I WANT.

I mean. why make OCs if not for them to wear the things you can't have/afford/pull off?

huehuehue

she's not THAT buff tho she is pretty strong. i am a writer by trade so my doodles are not to scale (read: scrimbly). anyway, she's probably usually a tank/halter top person??? this doodle just really wanted to be a t-shirt!

both twins have elements of their outfits inspired by the fam, not TOTALLY on purpose but it did make me cackle as I noticed them so TAKE THIS QUICK SYNOPSIS:

Fino:

dress shirt, belt over suspenders: blaise vibes

big ol cloak: winter vibes

comfortable shoes: jacquie vibes

vest: jack vibes

Fiera:

suspenders: jack and blaise vibes (both are known to wear them as an accessory instead of for their intended purpose of keeping pants up)

hot pants and boot like shoes: jacquie vibes

hair buns: winter vibes

man, I love the older twins. the SHENANIGANS they get INTO! they're a dream team, you won't know what hit you by the time they're through with you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
