Okay so I am supposed to be getting braces on hopefully by November (metal) I read reviews for Invisalign and broiled that they didn‘t work as good as metal braces did. So I am wondering will ceramic braces work just as good a metal. And when I had metal braces when I was younger my lips were always cut up and swollen because I have such a tiny mouth.Also will Medicaid NY cover ceramic instead?
Good idea but wrong premise. You need the car on the road to take corners at high speed. Look at the race cars. They have spoilers to increase the down draft which gives them better stability.
Metal braces work faster than ceramic braces
yes ,ceramic braces are as effective as metal braces.If you want a more invisible braces ,you can even try out lingual braces, where the brackets are placed at the back of your teeth.As for as cost is concerned this will cost you more.Good luck.
Ceramic braces work just as well as metal braces, in that they do the same job. However, ceramics have a few drawbacks: 1) they tend to have more friction than metal, and treatment can take longer. 2) they are more expensive than metal, and a lot of medical aid schemes / medicare (whatever you call it) will not cover the cost as its seen as a cosmetic item. 3) They stain. If you drink coffee, coke, tea, eat curries (or even sneak the occasional cigarette.) your nice, new white ceramic braces will turn into gunky yellow after 6 months. This is a problem, because your teeth look yellow and gross, it looks as if you did not brush your teeth. Metal braces look like braces, and no one bats an eyelid. Ceramic braces looks like you ate carrots for breakfast and then did not brush. My advice: go metal. I've literally had both types, and there is NO advantage of ceramic over metal.
