Metal Braces or Ceramic (clear) Braces!?

Im getting braces sometime this month and I am debating weather or not to get Metal Braces or Ceramic Braces...what i've read so far was that Metal Braces dont look as good BUT you dont have to wear them as long. But for Ceramic Braces it looks good because its less noticable but you have to wear them for longer. Im not sure if these statements are true but could you please add more information like Pros and Cons about these 2 types and which do you prefer and why?Metal Braces or Ceramic (clear) Braces!?
well i have metal braces and i hate it!!


it really hurts and pokes at your gum plus food always gets caught on them, everytime they tighten them your teeth really hurt, and at least on me i think that they don't look that great that would be the cons


i guess the pros what you said you wear them for less amount of time and i think they cost a lot less then clear ones


i would say the pros of clear are i doubt they hurt as much, people can't really tell you have them (they look better), they wouldn't be hurting your gums and inside your mouth, and food probably doesn't get stuck in them as much, i don't have these so i'm not sure but i would assume that this is true


the only cons then would be that you wear them for longer, but that doesn't seem that bad cause you can't really see them and everything and that they cost more


as you can probably tell i favor the clear ones and if i could i would go back and have those instead but my mom didn't want to spend that much money but yea it also comes down to if you don't mind about it hurting that much and what they look like getting the metal ones will go faster it does take a lot longer for the clear braces to move your teeth but still if i had a choice i would choose the clear ones definitelyMetal Braces or Ceramic (clear) Braces!?
I think metal braces might be better for you.i mean i have clear braces and i kinda wish i had the metal ones in the first place coz clear braces are like WAYYY more expensive than metal ones.But the main reason behind me getting the clear ones is that i was really embarrassed of looking all metalish and look funny.But really i think u should just go with the metal ones and it wont make any difference coz my clear braces get stained when i eat too much colored food and i have to wait until my next appointment until they change the rubber thingy around them.And of course u tell ur orthodontist to change the rubber bands to another colour other than white for examp (baby blue,grey,pink.....etc) any colour u want so the food wont stain on it.





Anyway,whatever u choose will be alright.Coz as u see everyone wants what they don't have so...:P





Hope i helped
i have metal braces and i only have to wear them 18 months , which is only a year and a half %26amp; i absolutely love them. They're fun because you can get colored elastics. Im not sure if ceramic braces do this, but metal braces do tend to have little disfunctions here and there, like a bracket coming dislodged from the tooth, or an elastic falling off. These things can happen just from eating or brushing your teeth.
To the first person: Ceramic braces do NOT look gross.


And to answer your question. I have 6 front teeth (top and bottom) that are ceramic since no one can see the rest of my teeth. They do not stain. They will only stain if you don't brush your teeth ever or if you get them from a bad company (cheap and look like ceramic but they really aren't). Trust me I eat food that people on the internet wrote that stain ceramic braces and they never did. If you have really crowded and crooked teeth, ceramic will look bad but once they're straight (about 6 months after) they look really nice. You don't wear them longer than metal braces.


I got my from this company

If you don't mind paying extra then get those. They don't have elastics.


I love my ceramic braces.


I payed $5,600 for mine because I live in Chicago (everything's more expensive here) and the office I go to is really good.
Metal braces. They look Better because the clear ones stain easily... And the clear ones make it look like your teeth are really damaged and gross. And if you dont have to have them on as londefiantlyey metal!
