Does anyone know the difference between these two types of ceramic braces? Thanks.

Thanks for the web sites. I've looked at both of them. I was wondering if anyone has seen them both in person. I'd also like to know if one is actually smaller than the other one or performs better.

I have Clarity - was supposed to get Mystiques in the beginning but after my Ortho had tested them on a dozen patients or so, he found the Neo Clips had a tendency to pop open on their own and just became a hassle. He's been "in the biz" for about 30 years now, so I don't think it was his experience level. Since he ended up using ligs on all the Mystique brackets anyhow, he just didn't bother ordering them anymore!
The idea sounded great though - no staining, so I was disappointed whn I found out I wouldn't be getting them. But the Clarity have been fine also. Hardly any chafing.
Good Luck.
