Metal braces will align your teeth as well as any other type of braces. Advantage is you will have well aligned teeth. Disadvantages may be damage to tooth roots. However, this will only happen if your are treated by people with inadequate training with braces. Hence, you should get you braces treatment done ONLY from a qualified Orthodontist.

Hello,
Selection of a braces type depend from one patient to other based on the problem.. though studies show metal and ceramic braces takes same time for the treatment completion.. the selection of the braces is very much subjective after complete oral health check up..

Hi,
The end result of the treatment is the same for both metal and ceramic braces.
Only the esthetics differs between the two.The metal braces have a lot more jagged edges than the ceramic ones.
