If you’re looking for a way to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment, ceramic braces may be the ideal solution. At Greater Northwest Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer ceramic braces to patients in North Bend, Washington, and surrounding communities. This advanced orthodontic option provides the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces while offering a more discreet appearance, making it the perfect choice for teens and adults who want reliable results without a noticeable look.
Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. These brackets are made from durable ceramic material, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Like metal braces, ceramic braces use archwires and elastics to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.
This makes them a great option for patients who need the strength and control of braces but prefer a less noticeable appearance. Whether you’re correcting crowding, spacing, or bite issues, ceramic braces offer precision, comfort, and style.
Ceramic braces have become increasingly popular, especially among image-conscious teens and adults. Here are some of the main advantages:

Treatment typically lasts 18 to 24 months, depending on the severity of the orthodontic issues being addressed. During this time, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, as they can discolor the clear elastics.
