Why Choose Ceramic Braces at Whites Dental?

Ceramic braces London are more discreet than traditional braces

Ceramic braces at Whites Dental are designed around your individual smile, goals, and lifestyle. Every case is planned and fitted by an experienced orthodontist – with tailored care from consultation to completion.

Just as effective as metal braces: Ceramic braces use the same bracket-and-wire system as traditional braces, offering precise, controlled movement without the metallic appearance. See how they compare to metal braces.

A more discreet option: The brackets are made from clear or tooth-coloured ceramic, making them significantly less visible. They’re especially popular with professionals and adults who want fixed results without a fixed look.

Trusted by thousands of London patients: With clinics in Waterloo and Marble Arch, we’ve helped over 2,000 patients achieve straighter, more confident smiles – supported by flexible appointment times and 0% finance options.

If you’re considering teeth straightening, book your free consultation today. We’ll assess your case and explain whether ceramic braces are the best option for your needs.

We also provide a full range of braces treatments in London, including Invisalign, metal braces, and Damon systems.

What Can Ceramic Braces Help With?

Spacing Between Teeth

Ceramic braces can correct gappy teeth or teeth with spacing

Ceramic braces are ideal for closing gaps and evening out spacing – helping to create a cleaner, more balanced-looking smile.

Teeth With Crowding

Ceramic braces can correct crowded - crooked teeth

Well-suited to mild or moderate crowding, ceramic braces gently guide overlapping or crowded teeth into alignment with discreet, fixed brackets.

Bite Problems

Ceramic braces London can fix bite issues

Ceramic braces can help correct bite issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites – as long as no jaw surgery is needed.

Crooked Teeth

Ceramic braces in London can correct overlapping teeth

For teeth that twist or sit out of line, ceramic braces offer a subtle yet effective solution to straighten your smile with precision.

Ceramic braces are a strong choice for most non-complex orthodontic needs. They’re commonly used to treat spacing issues, mild crowding, crooked teeth, and bite problems – especially in cases where removable aligners aren’t ideal. They can also help correct teeth that have shifted after previous treatment. If you’re looking for fixed results with a more discreet look than metal braces, ceramic may be the right fit.

How Do Ceramic Braces Work?

Ceramic braces are a fixed orthodontic system – offering the same reliable tooth movement as traditional braces, but with subtle, tooth-coloured brackets that blend into your smile.

Instead of metal, the brackets are made from clear or ceramic material and bonded to the front of each tooth. A thin archwire runs through each bracket, applying gentle, consistent pressure to guide your teeth into better alignment over time.

Step-by-step, here’s how they work:

1. Tooth-coloured brackets are fixed to the front of your teeth

2. A thin archwire connects the brackets and applies gradual pressure

3. Regular check-ups allow your orthodontist to adjust the wire and maintain progress

4. Over time, each tooth is gently guided into its ideal position
