Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are all about blending in with your natural teeth, thanks to their clear or tooth-colored brackets.

Ceramic braces are designed to be discreet, allowing you to rock your smile with confidence.
Braces work wonders when it comes to addressing a multitude of smile concerns. From misaligned teeth to bite issues and everything in between, braces have got you covered. Here are a few common problems we can help with:
- An overbite is when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower ones, causing wear on the teeth, possible jaw pain, and aesthetic concerns.
- A crossbite is when some of your top teeth fall inside of your bottom teeth when you bite down, often causing aesthetic issues, tooth decay, abnormal jaw growth, and gum disease.
- Crowded teeth and a misaligned bite can prevent some teeth from emerging, causing them to become impacted.
- Impacted teeth are often painful and infected.
FAQ’s
How long will I need to wear braces?
The duration of braces treatment varies depending on individual factors, such as the complexity of your case and the desired outcome. On average, braces are worn for about one to three years. During your initial consultation at Envision Orthodontics, our orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
Will getting braces be painful?
It’s natural to have concerns about discomfort during orthodontic treatment. While some initial discomfort or soreness is normal after braces are first applied or adjusted, it is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or orthodontic wax. Our team at Envision Orthodontics will guide you on how to alleviate any potential discomfort throughout your braces journey.
Can I still play sports or play a musical instrument with braces?
Yes! Braces shouldn’t hinder your active lifestyle or musical pursuits. While it may take a short adjustment period, you can continue playing sports or musical instruments while wearing braces. We recommend using a protective mouthguard during sports activities to safeguard your teeth and braces.
How do I take care of my braces?
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for achieving the best results. You should brush your teeth thoroughly after every meal and floss daily. Additionally, avoid sticky and hard foods that could damage the braces. Regular visits to Envision Orthodontics for adjustments and check-ups are also essential to ensure the progress of your treatment.
Will braces affect my speech?
Initially, you might experience minor changes in speech as you adapt to having braces. However, any speech adjustments are typically temporary, and your tongue and mouth muscles will quickly adjust. Practice speaking and reading aloud to help with the transition, and soon you’ll be speaking naturally with your braces.
