Clear braces or metal?

So I'm 14 and getting braces in a couple of weeks and I want to know weather I should get clear or metal. Metal is much more obvious but when you do notice clear i looks really weird. Here are some pics!

Thanks!Clear braces or metal?
I had to have braces twice and i had both clear and metal so i know how hard it is to make a decision between the two. I have small teeth so i thought by getting clear braces my teeth wouldn't all look black. The clear braces are cool but they stain really easy and can make your teeth seem more yellow. Also clear brackets are easier to break.There's Pros and Cons to everything. Good Luck.


P.S. Don't get yellow or lime green bands. they make your teeth look disgusting!Clear braces or metal?
i'd say clear. I have metal and i hate it cause i can't see whats up behind it. if u get clear you can actualy see how they are changing. good luck braces hurt the first time with the wire.
Metal is the way to go!!
i have the damon 3 braces.


they don't hurt as bad, you go to the orthodontist fewer times, they take a shorter treatment period %26amp; aren't very noticeable.


i get mine off this month... maybe!


i'm going to miss them!


they gave me so much confidence.

there they are on me!
Since you're still gonna have that icky wire get colored.


You can do all kinds of patterns and stuff. :p


It's kinda cool. =D
go for the clear ones
omg get the metal i know this from my own experience !


i have clear and it sucksssss so badlyy !


it makes your teeth look gross
go woth clear!!! i think it looks more sophisticated.
hmm,


sometimes when you get colored braces (in the right color) they bring out your eyes and give you a really pretty look.


it just depends on your face.


lol
Both are obvious. Clear would look like you have retainers in. Go with metal...you can make it pretty and colorful.
clear braces are less obvious , but metal braces work better at correcting teeth, I belive clear braces get easily damaged, the brackets always break off.
i say metal because u can change the coulor anytime u want
THE METAL ONES W/ COLOR LOOK CUTER
clear ones are more breakable, they are the same material as some glass products.
im about ur age and im getting braces soon 2, i would suggest the metal b/c they may b more painful but they will straighten ur teeth better than clear!!
Metal for sure....clear ones end up having a yellowy tinge to them...and depending on what you eat/drink, they could look really bad after 6 months of wearing them.





Metal with white bands on them look the best. Either way they are going to be noticed.
clear! i dont think it looks bad at all. thats what im getting in a couple weeks! im even getting them with the clear band
just get metal. there braces it really doesnt matter. anyways good luck choosing.
Why are both so colorful? I would do clear because they have a more cosmetic appeal. Metal are okay too though; just don't do so colorful!
Both me and my sister have had metal braces. They are a lot easier to keep clean than white ones. Forget about eating oreos, cheetos, or pizza with the white ones.. unless you want yellow braces!


To hide the metal color.. try choosing a light color for the elastics, like pale baby blue, clear, pale pink, etc.
