Overview
Ceramic braces at Lucid Dental Clinic offer an effective yet more discreet orthodontic solution for international patients in Seoul. Located in Gangnam, the clinic combines English-friendly consultations with advanced digital orthodontic planning to deliver predictable alignment results with improved aesthetics.
Ceramic braces function similarly to metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them a preferred option for adults who want visible improvement without the bold appearance of traditional metal braces.
What Are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets paired with orthodontic wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They provide the same biomechanical effectiveness as metal braces while blending more naturally with the teeth.
Ceramic braces are suitable for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing issues
- Bite correction (overbite, underbite, crossbite – case dependent)
- Adult orthodontic treatment with aesthetic priorities
