Ceramic Braces: These Braces are made of ceramic that doesn’t stain and stays white. These blend to your teeth and smile minimizing the appearance of the brackets in treatment. We use advanced Symetri brackets in our practice. These do not fracture like many older ceramic brackets and make the treatment and removal simple.

Champagne Colored (Iconix) brackets: One of the coolest advancements to esthetic treatments in anodization to the metal bracket. Firstly, metal brackets have some small advantages over ceramic brackets such as being smaller and lower profile. Additionally, the ability to control the color to a champagne look allows the brackets to remain very hidden or add extra pop of color for those wanting colorful braces treatment. Naturally teeth are not white, they are an off shade towards a warmer yellow tint. The champagne bracket blends to teeth for a nondescript look. However, champagne has just enough gold look to them that with paired with the proper accents really give a bold look if desired. For this reason, this is an awesome bracket choice to have fun with the look as you want it, but have a discreet look when needed.
