What kind of braces should I get?!


Question: What kind of braces should I get?
So I'm 14 years old, and i'm getting braces in about a week. I was just wondering what type of braces I should get - coloured or non-coloured-? I basically just want to know the pros and cons of the two types of braces. Thanks(:

Hi hun, i'm quite a bit older than you and i admit vain...so i went for the tooth coloured stations and wire , BUT one and half years down the line, i have had to change back to good old stainless steel posts and wire. The reason, according to my orthodontist , is the latter is easier for the "fine tuning" that is required to get my teeth as perfect as they can be for me.

Having now had both, i have to say that as as adult, i wish i had started out with the stainless.
They are easier to remove and cheaper. Now perhaps the cost is not an issue for you, cos you will (if you are in the UK) be getting on the NHS, but don't go for light coloured wires as they do stain easily.

my experience



i used to get a light pink or lilac, because i like the colour on them makes them more fun but its not too obvious. just DON'T get red or bright blue they are the worst colours haha made me look like a right idiot!
you may think not getting a colour makes them less obvious but it doesn't trust me but colours look really nice! :)
You will have amazing teeth at the end though, and they don't hurt at all just may be uncomfortable for the first couple of days that's all!

i had braces for 3 years



Hello...Ok the non colored are not an issue ...However the colored could be if you pick the wrong color. If you go with the colored and your a person who likes to look coordinated you will pick the color that blends with the colors of your Hair, Eye's and Skin tone...Do that and you will look great. Good luck and I wish you well.

When i had braces i made them all different colors and it looks really fun. Yes braces suck, but don't hurt as bad as you think they will. there just annoying. i would say get the color, it feels the same but just looks cooler :)
