Hi again (and yey for being in Leics!)
Yeah, I have ceramics on top and they are definitely a little bit bigger than the metals I have on the bottom. They're totally worth it though because they're hardly visible unless people are really near- most people don't notice I have braces unless I'm right in their face talking to them.
I remember walking out of the orthodontists feeling like I was trying to close my lips around a massive mouthful of Lego bricks... thinking I would NEVER get used to braces and I'd be thinking about them 24/7 for the whole of my treatment. I promise you though, in a few weeks you won't notice them being there at all.
Hang in there! It gets better!
Im not too far from you Stoke-on-Trent im just having the top set done sorry fr sounding thick but what are the ceramic ones are they the white clear braces
