I just got ceramic braces today and they are great! when they put them on it takes a bout an 1 hour and it gets kind of boring after a while but its not so bad. When I looked in the mirror I was extremely pleased. I am 14 too and I very worried about people noticing them but it doesnt seem like it will be a problem. Its a little annoying when you eat because they get food stuck in them but if you suck back in and use the proxy brush it is fine. My ortho says the bottoms will stain a little but the tops not at all. Hope he is right! GOOD LUCK D
I have ceramic braces and love them. A lot of people have not even realized I have them. If you get the clear rubberbands they WILL stain. I have tooth colored wire instead. So far, the wire has not stained at all. Food will show up more with them but i've had brownies and all sorts of things and it really hasn't been a problem. They are more expensive than metal but I think that since they show up less it is worth it.
wrong question in the wrong forumand by the way, they dont dyno trucks. only motorcycles.
i wouldnt recommend ceramic braces. as she said above, they do tend to stain easily, and do not exactly look clear, they as well still have the elastics around the bracket holding the wire in. They are not as sturdy as well, so if your case were to be having severely crowded teeth. Then this wouldn't fit well for you. They can become quite noticeable grayish-yellow color when stained. There is however, braces that are half metal/steel and half clear ceramic, these brackets have a special ceramic material that keeps them from staining. They as well do not have elastics holding the wire in. The wire is passed through the inside of the brackets with self-ligation. These are a more new improved technology of braces,that not the majority of people with braces have yet. I was one of them that have had them. They give a faster treatment time, and give a good appearance. to check them out, and see if there is an orthodontist with them in your area, go to the website below. trust me, they are a lot better.
