As the name suggests, the ceramic luminaire is made up of ceramic plates. Being transparent, it is chosen by many, especially adults who want to correct their teeth without announcing it to the whole world. However, despite being discreet, some still feel uncomfortable wearing it. Thankfully, you don't have to do too much to look good when you have a ceramic appliance.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Exude Confidence
Step 1. Smile
If wearing braces embarrass you, it may seem counterproductive to smile. On the other hand, giving the impression of hiding something would only arouse curiosity in people. If others notice that you feel uncomfortable, they will only focus their attention on your mouth even more.
Step 2. Be friendly
Do not hide the torch under a bushel. Try to be kind to others and to yourself. This will allow you to especially bring out your inner beauty.
Step 3. Focus on your favorite personality and body characteristics
Bringing the device is not the end of the world. It's temporary and you probably care more about it than others. Think about the aspects of yourself that you like the most: they will always accompany you, regardless of the device.
Step 4. Pretend Confident Until It Comes Natural to You:
sooner or later you will begin to convince yourself of it. Straighten your shoulders and keep your head up. Nothing is more attractive than self-esteem.
Method 2 of 3: Take Care of Your Physical Appearance
Step 1. If you are a girl, put on the right makeup
Accentuating other parts of the face will distract attention from the teeth. This can also help you feel more confident, which is the most important thing.
- Eye makeup. If you are trying to distract attention from your mouth, intense eye makeup is preferable. Experiment with different colored eyeshadows, buy volumizing mascara, or try out new ways to apply eyeliner.
- Pay attention to the lips. If your goal is to divert attention from your mouth, lip gloss and lipstick won't help you. In addition to drawing further attention to the area, the lipstick can easily finish on the surface of the appliance.
Step 2. Pay attention to the hair
If they are taken care of, others will notice the appliance less. You could make a new cut, try curling them, straightening them, or dyeing them.
Step 3. Wear the right clothes
Just like eyes and hair, clothing can make a big difference. Try to wear clothes that distract attention from the appliance.
- A neutral-colored shirt paired with a pair of colorful pants will draw attention downwards.
- Original accessories are useful for attracting attention.
Method 3 of 3: Taking Care of Your Teeth and Braces
Step 1. Choose the most discreet device you can find
Fortunately, the ceramic appliance is less noticeable than the traditional one. However, you can make some targeted choices to make it even less noticeable.
- Ask the orthodontist if it is possible to use floss the same color as your teeth. It will be less noticeable because it will blend better with ceramic plates and clear ligatures.
- Ask the orthodontist if you can bring a self-ligating ceramic appliance. It is a direct attachment system that allows you to keep the bow in the plates without ligatures; this eliminates the need to use rubber bands, which could get stained.
Step 2. Keep the appliance clean
If you don't brush it properly, it will stain yellow and show more.
- Brush your teeth two to four times a day with non-whitening toothpaste. If you use a whitener, your teeth may reveal yellowish spots when the braces are removed, as the plates will prevent the product from acting on the underlying teeth.
- Floss at least once a day.
Step 3. Try not to stain your teeth and / or braces
You should avoid whitening toothpaste, but you should also do what you can to prevent yellowing, otherwise you will attract unwanted attention to your mouth.
- If you drink juices or other colored drinks, use a straw.
- Avoid foods that could stain the appliance and rubber bands. Berries, soups, sauces and so on are just a few examples. If you decide to eat food that could stain it, brush the appliance immediately afterwards.
- Drink water with meals to help rinse the appliance while you eat.
Step 4. Change the ligatures regularly
Usually, transparent ones are used for ceramic appliances. They can get stained easily, so it's essential to have them replaced regularly by your orthodontist.
