Clear braces? or regular metal?!
Question: I am 36. Getting my braces on Friday. I wanted ceramic clear, but I am a Starbucks junkie and cannot give up my coffee. Should I go with all silver? I heard the silver brackets are smaller.... I just don't know. I am worried about staining. I have to have my morning coffee. I am sure with clear you will still be able to tell I have braces, so I am not totally worried about the "how I look thing", but it is a concern if i go all metal.
Anyone have input?

Hello,
I just had my braces put on last Friday. I had the same concerns as you, I'm 23 years old. I really didn't want to go through the whole braces thing at this age, but the perfect smile of my dreams out weighed my insecurities of dealing with the embarrassment of having braces.
I approached my orthodontist with my worries, and she said clear braces are more expensive and less durable. If you get them you will have to wear them longer and they stain easily. Most of the time they appear to look yellow in color and don't tend to work as fast.
With that said...I decided to go with silver. I mean it is more noticeable, but I rather have silver then coffee stained teeth, right. It is according to my ortho more durable too, who wants to spend even more time at the dentist getting the braces repaired.
Good Luck with everything!!!
Just think in a couple of years (if you're like me) you'll have the smile you always dreamed rather it's silver or clear :0)
The clear i think
go with clear.
If i were you, I would go with metal, because you dont have to worry about drinking coffee. Just no eating nuts... :+)
It does not matter which on you will get because as long as you brush really well, you won't get the squarish stain when you take it off. The only advantage, I believe, is that you can switch colors when you visit the orthodontist
dont get clear
i heard that the clear turns colors. specially if you drink coffee like the clear will look brownish? im not sure i heard that i like metal because you can change the colors.
