'Clear\white' braces or metal?

Hi





Im 20 and am going to get train tracks on tuesday (had them before when I was younger) but not sure whether to get the clear/white or the standard metal/coloured ones?





ANy suggestions would be good....as im thinking im white would look better, but after some research Ive found that they seem to discolour within 2weeks and make your teeth look stained....has anyone had this type of brace?'Clear\white' braces or metal?
metal is really good. its stronger and sturdier.'Clear\white' braces or metal?
Metal, you did it before and you're doing it again, cheaper, quicker, reliable.
yeah what u read is right, clear does stain and anyway, it looks pretty wierd when all u can see is the wire across your teeth. go with a simple colour if u dont want any1 to see them. if u can, try invislign it only works with some teeth but it looks better coz u cant see them
what ever floats your boat!
I had clear ones on top and metal on the lower you don't really see the lower teeth so it will save you a bit of money
no.
try pink
defiently metal-i had clears and whenever I drank coffee it made my braces turn this brownish color for a few hours. Go metal. Try bold colors-they show u r proud of ur brace face!
Yes I had the clear/white type of brace about a year ago - It was much more expensive that the other ytpe but I chose it because I thought it would be more discreet.





Looking back it was the wrong decision - within 2 or 3 days of each dental appointment the clear/white brace was discoloured - I felt really self concious because I felt that it looked dirty.





my dentist had told me to avoid curries and red wine......but I found it impossible to keep it white.





you have to be constantly thinking about your choice of food...tea/cofee are complete no-nos and I got caught out by the most suprising things......an inocent bowl of carrot and coriander teeth sent my brace bright orange.





opt for colours and good luck x
u wanna go for a simple color. nothing flashy, overwise it stands out too much and not white because they make your teeth look yellowish.





all the best

I am 24 and in the same boat that you are -- I will be getting braces in a couple weeks and at first I was going to get the ceramic/clear but now I am getting the metal because the clear not only stain, but they are also a bit bulkier too.
Your rightt,the white seem to hold stain and the metal brackets work faster, so your treatment time is less.
