Ceramic Braces in Da Nang
Fixed braces that work like metal braces but use tooth-coloured, less noticeable brackets — planned and reviewed inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital.
Ceramic braces are fixed braces that work in the same way as traditional metal braces, but the brackets are made from a tooth-coloured material so they blend in more with your teeth. For adults and older teenagers who want a discreet fixed option, they can be a comfortable middle ground between metal braces and removable aligners.
At Vinmec Picasso, orthodontic treatment is planned and reviewed inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital. Before any braces are fitted, your bite, gum health and the movements your teeth need are assessed so the appliance recommended genuinely fits your case.
How ceramic braces work
Tooth-coloured brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected by a thin wire. At regular visits the wire is adjusted so that your teeth move gradually towards the planned position. Because the braces stay on throughout treatment, there is no need to remember to wear them — but keeping them clean takes a little more care than usual, and the team shows you how.
Ceramic, metal or hidden braces
Ceramic brackets are less visible than metal, but they sit on the front of the teeth, so they are not fully hidden. If being unseen is a priority, lingual braces or clear aligners may suit you better; if cost and robustness matter most, metal braces may be the better fit. After examination the team explains which options apply to your case, along with timing, so you can choose with a full picture. Results vary from person to person.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- You want fixed braces but prefer a more discreet look than metal
- Your case suits fixed braces rather than removable aligners
- You are comfortable with brackets that stay on throughout treatment
May not be the right option when:
- A fully hidden option is a priority (lingual braces or aligners may suit better)
- The case is simple enough that a removable aligner could achieve the goal
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Examination & records
Your teeth, bite and gum health are assessed and records taken so the case can be planned and the right appliance recommended.
Treatment plan
A staged plan explains how your teeth will be moved, the likely timeframe and how ceramic braces compare with other options.
Fitting & adjustments
Tooth-coloured brackets are bonded and a wire fitted. You return for periodic adjustments as the teeth move into position.
Removal & retention
Once treatment is complete the braces are removed and a retainer is recommended to hold the new position.
Recovery & aftercare
- Keep brackets and wires clean; food and plaque gather around fixed braces more easily.
- Some tenderness is common after fitting and adjustments and usually settles within a few days.
- A retainer is recommended afterwards, as teeth can drift without one. Results vary.
