Ceramic braces offer the proven effectiveness of traditional braces with the added benefit of tooth-colored brackets that blend seamlessly with your smile. Dr. Nourian at Trusted Dental & Orthodontics helps teens and adults achieve perfect alignment discreetly.
NEARLY INVISIBLE ORTHODONTICS
Ceramic braces use the same bracket-and-wire system as metal braces, but the brackets are made from clear or tooth-colored ceramic materials that blend with the natural color of your teeth. From a few feet away, they're nearly invisible - making them an excellent choice for image-conscious teens and working professionals who need effective orthodontic treatment but prefer a less noticeable appliance.
At Trusted Dental & Orthodontics, Dr. Nourian uses premium ceramic bracket systems that are stain-resistant and highly durable. You get the precision and versatility of traditional braces with a look that won't dominate your smile.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions from Hawthorne patients about ceramic braces treatment.
Modern ceramic brackets are made from stain-resistant materials that hold up well against coffee, tea, and most foods. However, the elastic ties (ligatures) that hold the wire can stain more easily. We recommend avoiding highly pigmented foods and drinks when possible, and the ties are changed at every adjustment appointment to keep things looking fresh.
Ceramic braces typically cost slightly more than metal braces due to the material cost. However, the difference is modest, and we offer flexible financing to make either option affordable. At your free consultation, Dr. Nourian will provide a full cost breakdown for all options so you can make the best decision for your budget.
Yes, ceramic braces can treat the same range of orthodontic problems as metal braces - including overcrowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. They give Dr. Nourian the same level of precise control over tooth movement as metal brackets, making them suitable for mild to complex cases.
