Frequently Asked Questions
If you are unsure about which option is best for you, here are some questions to help you decide.
Are ceramic braces more fragile than metal braces?
Yes, ceramic brackets are slightly more delicate and can chip or break more easily than metal braces. They’re still highly effective, but patients who play contact sports or prefer very durable appliances may benefit more from metal braces.
What’s the difference between KL Owen custom braces and traditional braces?
KL Owen braces are 3D-printed and custom-designed for each tooth, offering a more precise and comfortable fit. This personalization can lead to fewer adjustments and a smoother treatment process than standard, prefabricated brackets.
Do ceramic braces stain over time?
The ceramic brackets themselves resist staining, but the elastic ties used with them can discolor from foods like coffee, curry, or tomato sauce. These ties are replaced at routine adjustment appointments.
Which type of braces is best for adults wanting a discreet option?
Ceramic braces and Invisalign are the top choices for adults who want subtle treatment. Ceramic braces blend into the teeth, while Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and removable.
Which type of braces works fastest for most patients?
Treatment time varies, but metal braces typically work the fastest because they provide the strongest, most consistent control. However, KL Owen custom braces and Invisalign may also offer shorter timelines depending on your bite and alignment needs.
