Ceramic Braces

This treatment is just as effective as metal braces when it comes to moving your teeth. They can take a little longer to get to work. This means the teeth straightening process at Vogue Dental in Chislehurst may take longer, which is always something to consider when choosing braces in Kent.

No, unlike aligners, ceramic braces and ceramic brackets are fixed in place. This means only the specialist orthodontist at the Vogue Dental Kent practice can attach and remove them.

Like metal braces, you may find you need a little time to get used to wearing your ceramic braces. They can cause slight pain and discomfort when first applied, and just after the wires have been tightened. In general, however, our Vogue Dental Chislehurst patients find them to be more comfortable than metal braces. This is due to the materials used causing less friction and irritation.

One of the major benefits of this treament is that they are more subtle in appearance than metal braces. They are, however, more noticeable than other realignment treatments such as aligners and lingual braces.

Most Vogue Dental patients in Chislehurst wear ceramic brackets and braces for 18 months or more. This does vary according to the patient and the position of the teeth at the start of the straightening treatment.

Yes, at Vogue Dental in Chislehurst, Kent, we will recommend wearing a retainer after having your braces removed. We recommend this after all orthodontic treatments, so that patients can maintain their new, straighter smiles and prevent the teeth from reverting to their original position.

Even if you are a patient at another dental practice, you can also register at Vogue Dental for any of our treatments. We have many patients who visit us from Bromley, Orpington, Sidcup, Foxbury, Avery Hill, Bexleyheath, Bexley, Beckenham, Elmstead, Swanley, Kent & the surrounding areas of London for all types of dental treatments.
