Ceramic Braces in Chattanooga
Discreet Care for Stunning Results
At River Mountain Orthodontics, ceramic braces offer a discreet yet effective way to straighten teeth. Designed with clear or tooth-colored brackets, they blend in with your smile while delivering the same reliable results as traditional braces.
With ceramic braces, you can achieve a beautifully aligned smile without drawing unnecessary attention to your orthodontic treatment.
Braces That Blend In
Ceramic braces offer a modern twist on traditional orthodontic treatment. Clear or tooth-colored brackets are designed to be less noticeable while still providing the same level of precision and effectiveness. These braces are a great option for patients who want the reliability of metal braces but with a more subtle appearance.
With their sleek design and advanced materials, ceramic braces combine durability and aesthetics to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted. At River Mountain Orthodontics, Dr. McLagan uses ceramic braces to deliver personalized care that fits your lifestyle and smile goals.
How Clear Braces Work
Ceramic braces function just like traditional metal braces, using brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. The key difference is in the materials—ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them less noticeable while still delivering the same reliable results.
This discreet design doesn’t compromise on effectiveness, making ceramic braces an excellent option for patients who want a subtle, aesthetic alternative to metal braces without sacrificing performance.
Clearest Benefits
Ceramic braces combine the strength of metal braces with a sleek, low-profile design that blends seamlessly with your smile. With their discreet appearance and reliable performance, clear braces give you plenty to smile about throughout your orthodontic journey.
Stylish & Subtle
With ceramic braces, you can feel confident every step of the way. Their clear or tooth-colored brackets are far less noticeable than traditional metal braces, making them popular for teens and adults who want a discreet treatment option.
Reliable Results You Can Count On
Ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces, making them a powerful tool for correcting various orthodontic issues. From simple alignment to more complex cases, you can trust that ceramic braces will deliver consistent and dependable results.
Comfort Meets Durability
Crafted from smooth ceramic materials, these braces are designed with your comfort in mind. They're gentle on your gums and cheeks, reducing irritation compared to metal brackets. Despite their sleek design, ceramic braces are strong and durable, capable of handling even the toughest orthodontic challenges.

Clear Versus Metal
When it comes to choosing between ceramic and metal braces, each option has unique benefits that can fit your lifestyle and smile needs. While both work effectively to straighten your teeth, ceramic braces offer a more discreet appearance, while metal braces bring unmatched durability for more complex cases.
Let's break it down:
- For a subtle look: Ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal braces, thanks to their clear or tooth-colored brackets. They're a great option if you prefer a more discreet treatment for social, professional, or personal reasons.
- For complex cases: Metal braces provide slightly more strength, making them ideal for more challenging adjustments. If your orthodontic needs are complex, Dr. McLagan may recommend metal braces for faster and more efficient results.
