White Ceramic Braces for Adults in Harold Wood, Romford
White ceramic braces work exactly like traditional fixed braces but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your natural teeth, so they're far less noticeable. At Fourways Dental in Harold Wood they start from £2,495, with retainers included.
Why adults choose ceramic braces
Discreet — tooth-coloured brackets are barely visible in conversation or photos
Fast and predictable — fixed braces often correct complex cases more quickly than aligners
Nothing to remember — they're fixed in place, so results don't depend on wearing them enough each day
Handles difficult cases — including significant rotations and bite corrections
Retainers included — fixed and removable retainers worth up to £770 come with every option
Ceramic braces or Invisalign?
Invisalign is removable and virtually invisible, which suits people who want maximum discretion and don't mind the discipline of wearing aligners 20–22 hours a day. Ceramic braces are fixed, so they work continuously without relying on you — and they're often the stronger choice for more complex movements. Ceramic braces also start a little lower in price. We'll go through both at your consultation and recommend what genuinely fits your case and lifestyle.
How much do ceramic braces cost?
White ceramic braces start from £2,495 for a single arch and £3,495 for both. Our CeramicPLUS option, using an upgraded bracket system, starts from £2,795 single arch and £3,995 for both. Every option includes retainers worth up to £770.

FAQs
Am I too old for braces?
No. Healthy teeth and gums matter far more than age, and we treat adults of all ages.
Do ceramic braces stain?
The brackets themselves resist staining well. The elastic ties can pick up colour from things like curry, coffee and red wine, but they're replaced at every adjustment.
How long does treatment take?
Typically 12–24 months depending on complexity, with a personalised estimate at your consultation.
Will they affect my speech?
No — unlike lingual braces, ceramic braces sit on the front of the teeth and don't usually affect speech.
