I kind of want ceramic because I don't want them to be noticeable. However, the denist's assistant said that I should get metal because they're easier to clean. I can't decide!

ceramic braces can stain REALLY easily. i would go with metal. that way, you can choose colors that match the season, holiday, or whatever. i got braces about a month ago, and now that they've stopped hurting, i love choosing colors! just remeber... dont get a really bright color the first time. i got baby blue... kind of regret it.

I had metal braces. I never had a problem with them. I've had frioends who've had the ceramic and they stained very easily and were harder to clean. I really think that both braces are noticable, but they have come along way. Besides remember they're temporary.

I have ceramic braces and I don't have any difficulty at all cleaning them. Don't get metal braces unless you want to look like you're 14 years old, LOL :) Good luck

I would say get metal... you get to pick different donut rubber band colors each month.. When you get the ceramic yeah your braces wont be as noticable but you still see them. AND if your teeth are not completly white then you notice the ceramic braces, you also dont get to pick colorful rubber bands.

the best part is picking cool colours :) Go with the ones that are easier to clean. People will notice you have braces anyway and they'll be less of a hassle.

I had metal braces. The only problem I had was brackets that came off of crowns.
