I work with kids and will hopefully be attending grad school next fall so i wanted my teeth to not be too distracting.
Ceramic braces grey ligatures.
Ceramic appliances use essentially the same components as metal braces and achieve much the same results.
Staining of the elastic bands can be remedied easily by changing the bands by your orthodontist.
Changing to pink and clear ties or ligatures on my clear ceramic braces.
The original ceramic braces did tend to stain especially if they were made with cheaper plastic.
You have 3 working parts in your ceramic braces.
These ligatures can stain especially.
Elastic ligatures or bands ceramic brackets and metal archwire.
These are used for both metal braces and ceramic braces.
This means the braces blend in with the teeth and are much less obvious from a distance.
In most cases both the brackets and the elastics on ceramic braces come in transparent or tooth colored colors.
One of the reasons for wearing ceramic braces instead of the traditional metal ones is them being much less noticeable.
The ceramic braces of today do not have this problem.
You can request tie wires that do not stain at all.
I m not a pro.
The difference is that the material used for the brackets is a clear or tooth colored ceramic.
I ve heard that the clear ligatures that come with ceramic braces stain easily and was wondering if anyone could recommend colors that are still fairly.
Like with metal braces one can choose to wear colorful elastic ties on the tooth colored brackets.
I ve opted for ceramic braces on my top 6 teeth and metal on the rest.
However the wire on braces is normally held in place with little rubber bands called ligatures.
