Ceramic brackets because of its beautiful color, not easy to find advantages, although expensive, are still favored by many patients. Many ceramic brackets through the built-in metal groove, and thus reduce the friction between the grooves and metal arch wires and metal brackets and similar appliance efficiency, and no extended course of treatment because of the different materials.
