Ceramic Braces

“Clear braces” typically use transparent ceramic brackets, while ceramic braces can be tooth-colored or slightly opaque—both options prioritize aesthetics over traditional metal.

Ceramic braces cost about 15–25% more than metal braces nationwide, averaging $4,000–$8,500, while metal braces average $3,000–$7,000. At Diamond Braces, metal braces start at $3,200 for simpler cases and go up to $5,200 for more involved treatments, all-inclusive with insurance support and flexible monthly payment plans.

Both braces options include X-ray/3D iTero scans, licensed doctors, two removable retainers, lifetime smile guarantee, and financing as low as $89/month with zero down.

Most dental insurance covers traditional gold/platinum bracket braces; clear/ceramic braces may be covered partially—often requiring patients to pay the difference.

Ceramic brackets are made from delicate optical materials that blend with teeth and require more careful handling—adding to both material and technician time .
