Your journey to a perfect smile begins with an initial consultation with Dr. John Walsh at Great Bay Orthodontics. During this appointment, Dr. Walsh will assess your dental health, discuss your orthodontic goals, and determine if ceramic braces are the right treatment option for you. This consultation will include a comprehensive oral examination, X-rays, and possibly a digital scan of your teeth.

Once it's determined that ceramic braces are the right choice for your orthodontic needs, Dr. Walsh will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will detail the estimated length of your treatment, the expected outcome, and any specific instructions for care. Using advanced orthodontic technology, Dr. Walsh will design your ceramic braces to fit your teeth perfectly and provide optimal results.
The next step is the placement of your ceramic braces. During this appointment, Dr. Walsh will carefully attach the ceramic brackets to your teeth and connect them with a thin archwire. This process is typically painless and requires no anesthesia. Once your braces are in place, you'll visit Great Bay Orthodontics periodically for adjustments to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
One of the main advantages of ceramic braces is their aesthetic appeal. Because they're made from clear or tooth-colored ceramic material, they're far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This makes them an excellent choice for patients who want to maintain a natural-looking smile during their orthodontic treatment.
Despite being less noticeable, ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces when it comes to treating a variety of orthodontic issues. Whether you have crowded teeth, an overbite, underbite, or other alignment issues, ceramic braces can effectively correct these problems and give you a beautifully straight smile.
Ceramic braces are designed to be comfortable and safe for long-term wear. The ceramic material is smooth and won't irritate your gums or the inside of your mouth. Plus, ceramic braces are sturdy and durable, so you don't have to worry about them breaking or causing discomfort during your treatment.
Over 4 million people in the U.S. wear braces to align their smiles.
Braces aren’t just for teens. In fact, 1 in 4 Americans wearing braces are adults.
