Personally, I'm glad I got metal braces. I did this for a couple of reasons. One, lots of people have braces so it's very common. I didn't think anyone would make fun of me or make any negative comments (no one ever has). Two, I wanted to play with colors. Colors kind of defeat the purpose of ceramic braces. From what I've been reading, whatever type of braces you get you'll stop worrying about what other people think about them in a very short time.

Go with metal, get all the colors, and smile! For what I'm paying for these things you better believe I'm going to get what enjoyment I can out of them. :)
