Ceramic brackets with metal - what do they look like??

#1 Post by Blaise81 »

I currently have ceramic braces with metal wire on the top to move my two front teeth which are doing the butterfly effect. I have my braces 7 months now and the dentist said that he may have to change my brackets to help move my teeth faster next visit. He said they will still be ceramic with metal.. Anyone know what they look like?
