Ceramic Braces

When it comes to selecting a solution for straighter teeth, adults and teenagers alike shy away from braces due to the thought of physical and emotional discomfort that the treatment entails. Despite the advent of Invisalign, many patients with serious malocclusions or bite imperfections struggle to find an effective solution that does not compromise their outer appearance. This is where ceramic braces come in.

There are a variety of benefits to straightening your teeth with ceramic braces, including but not limited to:

  • Ceramic braces are virtually invisible, allowing you to smile with confidence in social and professional situations.
  • They are strong and durable , and thus will not break or slip off your teeth with daily wear and tear.
  • They are more comfortable to wear than metal braces.
  • They are also easier to clean and will not contribute to tooth decay.
  • The total treatment span is shorter than Invisalign, as teeth are moved at a faster pace.

Furthermore, this solution is not ideal for individuals who smoke and/or regularly expose their teeth to tea, coffee, or red wine .

"Going to the Dentist isn't something I enjoy at all. After a 2 year hiatus, due to the pandemic, I was in need of some serious teeth therapy. I was recommended (by a coworker) to Dr. Jalbout and his team. What a great experience. I was at ease, comfortable, welcomed, and nurtured from the very beginning. My anxiety level went from a 10 to a 2. Thank you to an outstanding staff! I have found a new home for my future dental needs."

- Kevin McDaniel

"Dr. Jalbout and his team are excellent. I’ve never been more comfortable with a dental team; I’ve almost fallen asleep in the chair during big procedures. They are efficient, attentive, and caring, and Dr. J works with a precision that I've never witnessed. I’ve moved further and further away from Dr. Jalbout’s office over time and still commute to the city to see him. He’s that good."

- Roland Tiangco

I recommend you come here for all your dental needs."
