Well, my ortho really didn't mention any other brackets to me-and I didn't ask him. I asked my girlfriend what she thought I should get and she said straight up metal. So thats what I did, and glad I did- these things are tiny.
I opted for ceramic top & bottom for the "less visible" look. Paid a little extra for it, but I have been very pleased so far. I drink quite a bit of coffee & diet coke, I have only noticed staining of the ligs after about four weeks, which usually coincides with my next adjustment.
