Why Ceramic Braces
Even though traditional metal braces are our most popular treatment option, ceramic braces can be a great choice for some patients. Also known as “clear” braces, they are a new twist on conventional metal brackets and are much less noticeable. Not all ceramic braces are the same, with some much less noticeable than others. At Henneberry Orthodontics we use the best ceramic bracket on the market, and our patients love it! What’s even better is we do NOT charge extra for upper ceramic braces. We believe that if you prefer ceramic braces, then you shouldn’t have to pay more for them. Other offices typically charge hundreds extra for this option, but not with us!
Although technology around ceramic brackets is always improving, they sometimes can be a little more prone to breakage than their metal counterparts. Also, with deep bites it is sometimes not indicated to use ceramic brackets on the lower teeth. We are often asked about staining, and while the brackets themselves don’t stain, the elastic ties can become discolored with habits such as smoking or drinking wine and coffee. The good news is you will get new elastics at every visit, so you don’t need to worry too much about indulging in your morning cup (or cups) of coffee!
Who Are Ceramic Braces Ideal For?
Ceramic braces are ideal for the adult patient who wants braces that do not stand out, but who doesn’t want to keep up with clear aligners like Invisalign. Another popular option for teens and adults are clear braces with colored elastics that “pop”. It’s a unique look that is popular with some of our patients. Dr. Henneberry is happy to talk with you more at your free consultation about ceramic vs metal braces if you are on the fence about which to choose.
Clear Ceramic Braces Reviews
Everyone I had the pleasure of interacting with at Henneberry was professional, friendly, and so kind. Gloria was fantastic at my first visit - making sure I understood everything and working with me to figure out the payments. Raegan was so thorough and answered questions when she did my appointment to fit my new aligners. I would recommend Henneberry Orthodontics to anyone.
Good service with nice and friendly environment. As an adult, I feel embarrassed to put braces on again at my age, but Dr henneberry and his staff helped me, also he provided a hybrid solution for me to fix my teeth issue and care about the aesthetic thing. I’m looking forward to seeing the final treatment result.
I wasn’t able to take my child to get his braces put on and I had absolutely no hesitation except for of course, missing out!
literally the best orthodontist for my girl. we had to have early braces due to a tooth coming in completely sideways and she was always terrified of dental work. she goes back on her own now and doesn’t even need a hand to hold. they’re truly awesome!August 2026 update- second set went on and Davey was the best. My daughter said she wants her every time!
We have had an excellent experience with Henneberry Orthodontics! My daughter has just finished phase one of braces. Dr. Henneberry is so down to earth and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. The entire staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about the process. They are always smiling and happy!
