Abou how much longer do ceramic braces take over metal braces?!


Question: Im a sophomore in college so I'm not exactly thrilled about getting braces but I just wanted to do it and get it out of the way but I wanted ceramic so they're less noticeable.
I'm not too worried about the staining of the ligatures because I don't smoke, eat curry, drink coffee/tea, won't drink soda(one more reason to eh?), and can avoid sauce. But my ortho originally said that I might only take a year. Now when I ask her she won't even give me a ballpark.
Everyone always says ceramic take an extra couple months, so like... 20% longer?

I'm currently wearing braces for the second time because I had some spaces to open back up. I chose the silver because my orthodontics told me that I could have them off in 6-9 months and if I chose the ceramic it would be closer to a year. I think it really depends on how bad your teeth and how quickly your teeth move because I was told 6-9 months and it has already been 4 months and my spaces are almost closed up. I hoping to have them off in 6 months.

Ceramics are cool, but there's no time difference. However, tey are more fragile, so you have to be a bit more careful abotu what you eat and such things.

Yeaa I guess.
I have ceramic braces and some people don't even know i have braces. lol But sometimes if you dont get you bands change the bands will turn yelllow but after you get them change they turn Really Really white lol so white it kinda blends in with your teeth. I don't know how long it is till i get my bracese off it has been about 3/4 years =[ now but that is because i have messed up teeth.
