I wanted ceramics on top but my ortho chose to put linguals on me (inside of teeth). I LOVE that you cannot see the braces (they are metal) but my tongue is paying dearly for it, and I have trouble speaking sometimes (you develop a lisp for a while).
I'm eventually getting ceramics on the bottom though. I hope they will be more comfortable than linguals.
