These are the most common type of braces we use for adults. Tooth coloured braces are made out of either plastic or ceramic. They function the same way as metal braces but are a lot less visible, so generally all you can see is the wire. However, compared to metal braces they are less durable, more prone to fracture and more expensive!
For this reason we often place tooth-coloured braces on a patient’s more visible top teeth, whilst keeping the less visible lower teeth in metal braces.
All of the tooth coloured braces we use are self-ligating.
