Clear or Metal braces?

I'm a teenager whose getting braces tomorrow and have been pretty bummed about it since I heard the news. However, I've been posed with the question of clear or metal braces? The metals are the basic braces that you see mostly everybody wearing and are a bit smaller than the clear ones...But they are in my opinion a bit more noticeable. The clear ones are bigger but said to be less noticeable, people have been saying they do stain so that's another con.





I really don't know what to do but I'm open for anyyy ideas just back up your desicion and I'd be so happy to hear it!Clear or Metal braces?
Clear get clear! Metal hurts worse and stuff because they are rough on your gums. Also put on wax on the back part of your teeth to make pain stop if it starts feeling like scratches.Clear or Metal braces?
depends on how self consious u feel but i would go with metal. i have them and they are very small! theyre not as bad as they sound. the clear DO stain teeth more but that is up to u. i have metal that cannot change colors (o rings) they r even smaller than the colored ones. if u have any other questions u can email me. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR DECISION!
go clear they are less visible
I have wondered about this, silver versus invisible or white. I have decided that I would prefer to make my braces obvious than to have people mistake the opaque bracket around my mouth was a filmy overgrowth.





That's my conclusion :)
I would say metel because 1) they cost less 2) You wont stand out. and 3) because you can get them in color! (is that a dumb reason? Yes.)
i have the metal ones and they look fine.





I had a friend who got the clear ones and it looked silly, her teeth looked massive. everyone knows you have braces anyway, they don't look any less visible. They're more expensive and my friend's got stained from food and looked gross.





trust me, metal is the way to go.
I had clear 2 years ago. My son has metal now. My son's braces are always breaking. I never had a problem with the clear staining. I would get the clear ones again, but they cost a lot nmore
I actually like the metal ones. I think they make people look cute and innocent lol. I actually want bracers but cant afford it!!
i'de say get the metal. i know that clear would be nice so you couldn't really see them, but trust me, get the medal. that clear aren't that good with your teeth. as in when eat you can see all the food that gets stuck on them also stains. but metal is matalic so thay will not get stained so bad and they look a lot better.
The clear will take longer to correct your teeth. As much as 6 months or longer. So go with the metal. I had the clear and wore braces for 2-1/2 years.
