Are Porcelain Ceramic Braces as Effective as Metal Braces?
Porcelain ceramic braces in Northridge are just as effective as traditional metal braces in correcting orthodontic issues.
They achieve tooth movement in the same manner while often providing enhanced comfort. The
smoothness of porcelain brackets can help reduce the likelihood of soft tissue irritation. Treatment
with ceramic braces may take slightly longer than with metal braces, due to the materials used.
How Do I Care of Clear Braces?
To maintain optimal oral hygiene with clear braces, we recommend the following care practices:
1. Use an electric toothbrush to brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably after each meal.
2. Utilize a floss threader to clean between the brackets and along the gum line, ensuring thorough
cleaning.
3. Consider incorporating a Waterpik, Sulcabrush, or interdental brush to clean gaps that develop as
your teeth shift and around the brackets.
