Comparing Metal vs. Ceramic Braces: Factors to Consider

Comparing Metal vs. Ceramic Braces: Factors to Consider

Today patients can choose from a range of metal or ceramic options (not to mention clear aligners).

We often see the confusion faced by the patients in choosing the appliance here is a small guide to help patient and practitioner to select the type of braces.

Until 10 years ago, braces were almost exclusively worn by children, most commonly between 10 to 14 years old.

However, orthodontic treatment is becoming increasingly popular among adults. Due to greater awareness among the adult population who missed the chance to wear braces when there were younger. Honestly speaking, there is no age limit. If there is a bad bite, braces are the first non invasive treatment of choice for a successful overall treatment In an adult.

Which Option is Best for you?

When it comes to making a decision, it’s not tough.We consider the above factors along with the patients preference.However the end results of both the braces are same.Hence there is no difference in the efficiency between metal and ceramic braces.

With the long term (12 months) no cost emi payment mode available at Hayes dental, Bangalore the difference in each installment is also not significant.

Dr. Heena and their team provided exceptional service, explaining each step of the treatment thoroughly and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. Their skill and expertise were evident, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout my visit. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The waiting area was comfortable and clean, which immediately put me at ease.Thank you for making my dental experience so positive and stress-free!😊

A two page review is what I promised Dr. Karthik when I got my braces off after 2 years!! 😄 I cannot begin to express what a smooth journey the last couple years have been at Hayes Dental. Whoever said braces would hurt, I sympathize with them, because other than a light pressure on the day my wire was changed and tightened, I had absolutely no pain the rest of the time!Every single step of my journey with Hayes Dental was explained to me on day one, including the cost and steps in my treatment, the kind of food to eat and to avoid, and the care to be taken of my retainers post-treatment. The number of doubts and the times I've asked Dr. Karthik when my braces will come off, was so excessive, that I'm surprised his patience is still intact! XDI lived out of state for most of my appointments and there was a time constraint on completing my treatment, since I was leaving for my higher education. But both Dr. Karthik and the dental assistants was so accomodating of my time while fixing appointments. I not only concluded my treatment with a straight of set teeth, but in such a short time, and on point with my schedule!Dr. Karthik was very approachable throughout my journey. I could message him any time my braces felt uncomfortable, and he has also been checking in post-treatment! Moreover, all the instruments used in my treatment were contemporary and new, nothing was outdated, that includes my retainers (literally invisible). You just automatically knew, everything and everyone was well experienced.It was only when I saw the before and after pictures of my teeth, that I realised how messed up they initially were! I would highly recommend Hayes Dental, as the entire team works on providing the exact results they claim with your dental journey!PS: I really wanted to add in, talking about the ambience of the clinic, because it is gorgeous! There's always rock music from the 80s and 90s playing in the lobby and it is an absolute vibe! I couldn't even be ashamed to say that I'd bring my friends in with me, just for the clinic's playlist and it's aesthetic!! 😅

I had an amazing experience with Hayes Dental and Dr. Heena Cariappa specifically. I had an unfortunate incident where my front tooth fell out unexpectedly the night before I had to fly to a wedding in Kolkata. Dr. Cariappa was incredibly professional and sympathetic and went out of her way to accommodate my emergency condition. She was able to install a fake tooth quickly and effectively so that I could leave on time for my flight and smile at all the wedding events! I really can't thank the team enough for all their hard work and dedication and I definitely recommend their clinic wholeheartedly. Thank you again Dr. Cariappa!!

We visited Hayes Dental for my son’s crossbite treatment, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, the doctor carefully examined the issue and suggested a treatment plan, explaining that it might take a year or two. To our surprise, the treatment was successfully completed in just 10 months!What truly stood out was the doctor’s kindness and patience with my son, who is usually scared of doctors and hospitals. The doctor made him feel so comfortable that he actually looked forward to visits—a big win for us as parents!Additionally, the clinic offered us a flexible payment option, which made the financial aspect stress-free and manageable.Overall, we’re extremely happy with the care and treatment provided. I sincerely wish Hayes Dental continued success and hope it becomes one of the best dental clinics in Bangalore. Highly recommend!
