ceramic brackets can be used in place of metal ones but there are some drawbacks. ceramic brackets are more expensive, some types can stain, they can break, and they are not as effective at moving the teeth - resulting in a less desirable result. metal brackets are definately the way to go. find an orthodontist that treats patients slowly (moving the teeth slowly with light wires) and who is treating the patient's healthy bite rather than just making the teeth straight and pretty. Invisalign is almost twice as much as braces and twice as annoying. the results are typically dissapointing.
