I have to get braces. Clear brackets or metal?

I have to get braces. Im an adult so i dont want them to look stupid. The doctor says that either kind will work well on my teeth. But i cant decide on which ones to get, the clear ones are less visible but they look like you're TRYING to hide them. any suggestions? should i look into invisalign braces?I have to get braces.

If you really want your braces not to be very noticeable, then you should get ceramic (clear) brackets. Although I had to pay an extra $600 to get my ceramic brackets. :P Ceramic has it's pros and cons though. For the cons, it stains very easily. Especially if you're a curry person. Also, it breaks off easily if you become reckless when you're eating. I was eating a taco one day, and I broke one of it off. I had to pay $20 extra just to get it fixed, gah. It might not be the same for you, though. Although it looks really nice if you decide you want to put colored rubber bands around them like you do with regular metal ones.





I'm not too sure about invisalign because I don't have them, haha. I believe my cousin had them and I remember this one time her gums started bleeding because of the edges that started to chafe her gums.





If my answer is too vague, here's a nice website to look into to help you decide which ones you like better. (:

well im 22 and just got mine i would advise you to get metal they don't look as good but the clear ones will stain very easy and you will be stuck with them and my orthodontist said the clear one take longer to work as they aren't as strong as the metal, i didn't thin they were worth the hassle.
Clear are better for adults but make sure you keep them clean because they are clear and yet still braces food gets stuck in them just as it does with the metal ones so just make sure you keep them clean!
yes you should look into invisialign braces. they are awesome. my friend has them and you cant even tell she has braces.
