Ceramic Braces And Rubber Bands

I m at the halfway mark for my braces and i m started to get excited about the changes in my teeth.

Ceramic braces and rubber bands.

The final part of braces are interarch rubber bands which are used to adjust bite and jaw position. Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces in terms of structure but they re less noticeable because they use clear or tooth colored brackets rather than gray or metallic colored components. Ceramic braces also known as clear braces are orthodontic tools used to straighten teeth and fix bite problems they consist of clear or tooth colored ceramic brackets attached to the surface of your teeth with similarly colored wires and rubber bands which provide more discretion. Ask your orthodontist for self ligating ceramic braces.

They re finally moving having to wear the rubber band. The ceramic brackets themselves resist picking up color from food or drink but the bonding glue and the rubber bands that connect the braces will turn color if you re not careful. This is a type of ceramic braces where the wire clips directly into the bracket eliminating the need for stainable elastics around each bracket. The orthodontist bonds a clear ceramic bracket to the tooth surface and attaches ligatures tiny rubber bands to thin metal archwires to realign the teeth.
