Should I get clear or metal braces? (pic)?

My orthodontist didn't mention anything about the clear being more fragile, all he said was that clear will stain if I don't brush my teeth at least three times a day, which isn't really a big deal to me. Also, I wouldn't get the metal just for being able to have colors, the colors don't really matter to me either.


I'm just really afraid that if I get clear, people will do a double take wondering what's on my teeth. Although when I see people with metal braces it's almost all I can see when I look at their face, kind of like when people have a whole bunch of facial piercings, lol.





Anyhow, this is me, if that helps you decide what you think would be better for me.

Go for the clear, they are more presentable and seem to better fit you. Definately not the metaly ones! Goodluck!Should I get clear or metal braces? (pic)?
I have clear on the top, and metal on the bottom. Clear are more expensive, but I would definitely get them at least on the top. They're a lot less noticeable than metal, and no people wont double take. Nobody even noticed I had them until I showed them the wire on top and the metal ones on the bottom. They're also a lot less scratchy than the metal brackets, so you don't feel them as much.
the clear are a good option, but it's easy to forget to put in and even easier to loose. metal braces don't require as much care and can be colorful, but also annoying and probably more painful. pick whichever you would want to take care of in the long run.
Wow first I have to say you are really pretty and I say you go with the metal. I mean Im sure those do a better job. They did so on me so Metal is my answer
Clear looks better but it will stain so go with mettal. Im having braces in 3-4 months and i am having teal and yellow.
