Getting top set of braces fitted Monday

Should I go with clear or metal? I have the clear on the bottom since early March and I find the staining makes me feel my teeth are very yellow (made the mistake of having curry last week!). The bands get changed every 6 weeks so they will be clear again Monday but I'm thinking for the top set which will be more obvious should I go with metal to avoid people thinking I've yellow teeth should I eat something like that again! They will be on for about 10 months

If you already have ceramic on I'd stick with it. Sometimes people have ceramic upper and metal lower for aesthetic reasons but the opposite way round will just look odd. The clear bands around the bracket called modules are what stains, tea coffee ketchup curry turmeric will all stain them but as you say they get changed often. All personal preference.

Would you consider Damon clear braces, top set only? I have these and can eat whatever I like as they don't stain. Little bit more expensive but if your having them on for a couple of years worth it!
