I can't decide if I should get clear (not invisalign) or metal braces. im 15! what do you think?

Clear braces are good. They aren't as obvious, and you won't cut your lips as much. There will still be some soreness though. But, they stain and will show if you have taken one bite of anything. Your mouth will look gross after every meal until you run to the bathroom.





The metal are good as well. They are obvious, but you can change colors with your moods. They do cut your lips some, but only for a little while. They also work faster since they are stronger.





Also, way to go for not getting invisalign! They are expensive and the effects aren't always permenant.I can't decide if I should get clear (not invisalign) or metal braces. im 15! what do you think?
I think clear ones look like you need to brush your teeth. I don't really think the metal ones are pretty or anything, but I'd rather that than look like I have bad plaque build up.I can't decide if I should get clear (not invisalign) or metal braces. im 15! what do you think?

i would go with clear
I think whatever your parents are willing to pay for. Mine weren't even willing to get my braces at all. Just kidding. Clear, of course.
clear
I would rather go with the metal because then yo need to be careful about what you eat and drink cause then it could stain your teeth and when you take it the braces off it'll leave a little square stain afterwards. But its just my opinion, I went with the metal braces
I had the metal ones when I was younger, and they weren't that big of a deal. I have a friend now who (in his late 20s) has the clear kind--he has to drink soda through a straw so he doesn't stain them. Sounds like a hassle to me.





At your age, braces are probably fairly common, so I wouldn't worry about needing clear ones, especially if the staining really is that big of an issue.
um ok, well ignore the person about having plaque build up, because u can take invisalign out to brush ur teeth AND eat. braces are REALLY uncomfortable.. and i'm assuming ur parents are payin for these.. so there are monthly payments available instead of having to pay 5,000 all at once. metal braces will cost u more.
I had real metal braces and i was very sad when i had to get rid of them. I guess that you just get use to having them around. I would recommend metal, because when people see them they know that you have braces. I had a few friends that had the clear ones and they always looked like they had nasty teeth and they had stuff all over her teeth. They are not completely invisible as they lead you to believe.
my daughter just got braces. shes 9. all her friends think they are cool. she has metal ones. she gets the color changed every month. i know the metal braces are effective, have you done any research on how effective the invisalign are?
I say CLEAR! People are claiming that they stain, but if you have done your research and talked to an orthodontist they will tell you that it is not the braces itself that stains but the rubber bands which are easily changed and they change them every time you get your braces tightened. So if they do happen too stain it will only be till you visit your dentist next!!!
