Clear braces vs metal braces!!!!?

Im getting braces fitted soon - the ortho says I could go for the metal damon braces, or clear braces. He said it doesnt make a difference to the price OR the treatment time, i will just have to come in more often to have the bands changed.





I met someone with damon braces today and she said clear braces take longer to straighten teeth? Is this true? My ortho says theres no difference in time between the clear ones i want and the damon ones. HELP PLSClear braces vs metal braces!!!!?
Metal...Even when you brush correctly everyday, they ten to turn brown and stain and it makes your teeth look really nasty!Clear braces vs metal braces!!!!?
you denist is wrong. clear braces take about 2-3 months longer then regular metal ones. This is because with metal you can pull them tighter and get your teeth straighter soon. The clear ones are actually ceramic and cant be pulled as tight as quickly because they can break. so you have to pull them a lot slower this takes longer then metal. Clear ones also general cost a couple hundred dollars more i have clear on top and metal on bottom. you can not see my bottom braces so i got metal but you can see the top so i got clear.
I had the Damon braces about three years ago. Not only was I not very sore ever because of how they work (wire slides through Damon brackets friction-free as opposed to each clear bracket being tied to wire with elastics and causing much more pressure) but I didn't have to worry about staining of the elastics, the ceramic brackets breaking or wearing down which they will do and when you have your braces removed, the clear brackets often break and have to be grinded off. I also worked for the orthodontist and he tried to tell me I could get the clear ones instead but I preferred the Damons. I was 32 when I got them on and they are very small brackets so it was never a cosmetic issue with me.
I had the same question when I got mine on. My Orthodontist recommended the Damon (metal) braces. He said the clear ones cost about 2 grand more and they DO take longer to move the teeth. Do some research on the net and make you own opinion. I am 30 year old and I am also a manager of a large Home Improvement store. I went with the metal. I was a bit shy about what everyone would say at first but I got used to them and so did they. Its not as big of a deal as I made it out to be.
I got the metal ones because the clear braces take longer to fix teeth.





Good Luck on your choice.
