Clear Ceramic Braces in Bristol
Fixed metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to straighten teeth and correct bite concerns. At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre in Bristol, our specialist-led orthodontic team plans each fixed braces treatment carefully, using modern techniques to achieve precise, healthy results that support long-term oral function and confidence.


What are
ceramic braces?
Ceramic braces work in much the same way as traditional metal braces, using brackets and wires to move your teeth gradually into their ideal positions. The difference? Ceramic braces are made from tooth-coloured materials that blend in beautifully with your natural teeth.
- The ceramic brackets are designed to match the colour of your enamel
- Tooth-coloured wires are used to keep the whole appliance as discreet as possible
- The brackets are also smaller and smoother, making them more comfortable to wear
- They’re an excellent choice if you want to improve your smile without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
What to expect from treatment
Every smile is unique, so your treatment begins with a digital scan or impression of your teeth. This is used to design a custom brace that fits your teeth perfectly.
Here’s what you can expect:
Initial consultation
We assess your teeth, discuss your goals and confirm if ceramic braces are suitable for you.
Brace fitting
At your fitting appointment, each ceramic bracket is carefully bonded to your teeth, and the tooth-coloured wire is attached.
Regular adjustments
You’ll visit us every few weeks so we can tighten and adjust your braces, guiding your teeth into position.
Enjoy your progress
Over the course of treatment (typically 12–24 months), you’ll see your smile becoming straighter!
