Clarity ceramic brackets coming loose

Has anyone ever heard or experienced the Clarity ceramic brackets coming loose more often than regular metal brackes?
I'm on my third one coming loose now after about 2 years. None of my metal brackets have come loose. I still have more than a year to go and I'm wondering if I'd be better off switching to metal.

I've had my Clarity ceramics for 11 months and I've had one of my brackets pop off while I was eating a pickle spear. I had 2 other ceramic brackets removed in preparation for extractions and they did not come off easily. Go figure.

I've had Clarity brackets on for 23 months, and haven't lost one yet.
Due for debaniding on 10/12, so I hope they come off easily when they need to!

Hi -
I had clarity ceramics and just switched to metal because I popped off so many I was losing ground. I have a LOT of movement needed and I guess the pressure was too much. Honestly I'm perfectly happy with metal self-ligating, they are smaller and I don't have to worry about staining ligs!

I have just one (hopfully the only one) that pops off. But this one is glued to a fake tooth....so it was predictable. Twise it happend at the ortho office once 2 days ago....I hope it will not set my treatment back
