Answers:
Some offices allow you to pick between the two. If you get the metal/acrylic you sometimes even get to pick the color or logo on it. I would recommend this type because this one will last longer and with the clear retainers they have some give to them over time that can cause your teeth to move out of alignment. They also tend to stain more.Health Question & Answer

My ortho did not let me pick which one i got. They gave me the clear plastic clear one. Put this could be because I am getting invisalign. (I have a retainer to keep the shape of my mouth my expander created until my invisalign molds come in) But the first few days, I won't lie it was like a pain you wouldn't even believe...after the first few days..not problems at all. You cant even tell its in your mouth which I really like as well as i had NO speach problems at all...not even in the first few days. I also think they are more comfortable theres not something constantly on the top of your mouth. One other bad thing is that is does get a little smelly...but you can easily fix that with a little baking soda and lemon juice! If you really like cool designs then go with the regular but that is the only advantage in a way of a metal one. So my advice to you would be to get the clear ones. Hopefully this helped and if i can answer any more questions you have..feel free to send a quick e-mail.

Good Luck :)Health Question & Answer

They let you pick the color of the bands that are glued to your teeth. You can pick a color for the retainer. There is a difference between the metal braces and the clear ones. The clear ones are way more expensive and they take longer to work.Health Question & Answer

my Otho did not give me the choice of a clear one so i have the plastic one with the metal bar. I don't mind it cause i only have to wear it at night. I wanted the clear one but i believe it does cost more money.Health Question & Answer

I don't think they do...it depends on your teeth. they didn't let me.

but they let you pick your colors but maybe you can ask them and they will let you....get the clear plastic ones those seem like the easiestHealth Question & Answer
