Ceramic is difficult to trim..u better follow ur orthodontist opinion and get an acrylic one done... also u cannot leave the trimmed ceramic crowns, because the surface becomes very rough resulting in food impaction later at that area

Ceramic material can be trimmed though it is harder than acrylic and takes more effort, but can definitely be trimmed
