For those who want the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. At A Winning Smile Orthodontics, we offer advanced ceramic braces that blend seamlessly with your teeth, providing a subtle way to achieve your dream smile.
Dr. Catherine McDevitt and our team are dedicated to offering aesthetic orthodontic treatment to patients in Worthington, Columbus, and the surrounding Ohio communities.
Why Choose Aesthetic Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces offer the same powerful teeth-straightening capabilities as metal braces but with a significant aesthetic advantage. The brackets are made from a clear, translucent material that matches the natural color of your teeth, making them much less noticeable.
This allows you to go through your orthodontic treatment with confidence, knowing that most people won’t even realize you’re wearing braces. They are an ideal solution for teens and adults who are concerned about the appearance of metal braces.
How Do Ceramic Braces Work?
The process for ceramic braces is very similar to that of traditional metal braces. Dr. Catherine bonds the clear ceramic brackets to your teeth and connects them with a thin archwire. This system applies gentle, continuous pressure to guide your teeth into their correct alignment.
The result is a straighter, healthier, and more beautiful smile, achieved with a subtle and effective appliance.
Advanced Technology: Self-Ligating Ceramic Brackets
To further enhance the aesthetic appeal and comfort of your treatment, A Winning Smile Orthodontics utilizes self-ligating ceramic brackets.
These modern brackets feature a small, built-in clip to hold the archwire, eliminating the need for traditional elastic ties. The clips are whitened to blend with the clear brackets, making your braces even more discreet. Key benefits include:
- Superior Aesthetics: The clear brackets and whitened clips create a virtually invisible appearance.
- Improved Hygiene: Without elastic bands, brushing and flossing are simpler and more effective.
- Enhanced Comfort: The self-ligating system reduces friction, often leading to a more comfortable treatment experience.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. McDevitt leverages this advanced technology to provide personalized, one-on-one care, ensuring you get the best possible results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces are a versatile option suitable for many patients seeking a less visible orthodontic solution.
They can effectively correct a variety of issues, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbites, underbites, and other bite misalignments
During your free consultation, Dr. Catherine will perform a complete evaluation to help you decide if ceramic braces are the right choice for your orthodontic journey.

FAQ
Are ceramic braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes. Ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces at correcting most orthodontic issues. They use the same trusted mechanics to move teeth but with clear, less noticeable brackets.
Do ceramic braces stain?
The high-quality ceramic brackets we use are resistant to staining. However, the clear elastic ties used with some types of brackets can discolor over time from foods and drinks like coffee, tea, or red wine. This is another reason we prefer self-ligating brackets, which don’t require these elastics. We’ll give you tips on how to keep your braces looking great.
Are ceramic braces more expensive than metal braces?
Ceramic braces are typically a bit more expensive than traditional metal braces due to the advanced material used. At A Winning Smile Orthodontics, we are committed to making treatment affordable. We will discuss all costs and payment options with you during your consultation.
How do I care for my ceramic braces?
Caring for ceramic braces is similar to caring for metal braces. It involves diligent brushing after meals and daily flossing. Our team will provide you with all the necessary instructions to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
