CERAMIC BRACES!?help!?

Should I get ceramic braces?!

Answer:

Ceramic braces (including clear braces) are a treatment option that helps to create a more pleasing, less conspicuous appearance for orthodontic patients.
No, I actually think you should jsut get the traditional metal braces. First of all, the ceramic braces stain much easier. The brackets will turn into a yellowish color by the end of the month. The metal braces aren't that noticeable, even if they do stain. Also, ceramic braces cost a little more. I mean, if you cnas fix your teeth for less, wouldn't you jsut do it? Another reason is that they take just a little longer to fix your teeth than regular braces. Maybe a half a year longer or so. Well, at least that's what my orthodontist told me. Antoher reason is that you can't get ceramic braces on both, top and bottom. You can only get them on the top and you have to wear the regular braces on the bottom. I think that would look a little bit stupid. Also, have you thought that regualr braces will actually be LESS noticeable. For example, if someone sees the ceramic braces, they will wonder wh ytehy can only see one wire and not the whole bracket because those a re not common. IF they see metal braces, they'll know they're jsut regular braces and won't really pay much attention to them because everyone has them. Oh and also, on the regular ones, you can change the colors. I think that's a really fun addition, and you can customize your mouth, haha. ]
I had clear braces. I don't think they were ceramic though. I was so much happier going through jr high. I loved them and never had a problem. Mine didn't stain at all, and I'm guessing that if you had food in your teeth or your braces you would brush and floss to get it out.so I don't understand why you wouldn't want the more attractive set.
my dads car does this too, i think it just has to do with the locks or something, its a normal thing
