Blend In With Ceramic Braces
At Beim Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer ceramic braces to our patients in the Lake Mary area! Also known as clear braces, tooth-colored braces, or aesthetic braces, Dr. Beim uses these to straighten teeth just like metal braces.
All About Clear Braces
Our clear braces at Beim Orthodontics are designed to be less noticeable on your teeth than metal braces. They're smaller than ever and made of nearly invisible tooth-colored polycrystalline ceramic material. These ceramic options blend in well with your natural smile.
Though they're not completely invisible, and the brackets are about the same size and shape, they’re much less noticeable than metal braces. These braces offer a discreet treatment option for our Lake Mary patients.
Less Noticeable Than Metal Braces
Ceramic brackets are a less obvious way to straighten your smile. This option is especially attractive if you’re an aesthetic-minded adult or teen around Lake Mary.
Ceramic braces are perfect if you want an aesthetic treatment option but don't want the extra hassle of removable aligners and the responsibility of wear time.
Beim Orthodontics is proud to offer self-ligating brackets to our patients. These brackets have been created to give you an amazing smile with maximum comfort and a shorter treatment time.
You may be worried about ceramic braces staining, but this isn't a problem. Ceramic brackets won’t stain. Schedule a free consultation with Dr. Beim to learn if they may be right for you.
Cost of Ceramic Braces
One of the biggest factors that affect your treatment cost will be the materials used to make your braces.
In our Lake Mary office, ceramic brackets cost a little more than metal brackets.
The good news is, we offer flexible payment plans, convenient online payment services, and we will also check with your insurance company for orthodontic benefits. Our goal at Beim Orthodontics is to provide outstanding value for reasonable fees!
Treatment fees will vary depending on the complexity of your orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Beim will determine a treatment fee that fits your specific orthodontic needs, and our Beim Orthodontics team will do everything we can to accommodate you and your budget.
The work it takes to put your braces on, adjust them, and take them off must also be factored into the total treatment cost. Placing and removing ceramic braces are sensitive techniques and require more time from our Beim Orthodontics team.
Our treatment coordinators will be happy to go over the cost with you at your first free consultation at our Lake Mary office.
Best for Adults
After a thorough orthodontic evaluation with Dr. Beim, our team can determine which treatment option will be best for you and your smile.
Dr. Beim generally recommends ceramic braces for adults and older teens.
This is because ceramic brackets are more likely to break, and they're more expensive than metal brackets.
