Ceramic costs more. I'm having braces at the moment XD and under the ADS program at David Orthodontics. It's 2.5k but they're a bit slow since they're only seeing me for 1 1/2 hour every fortnight. Going to cabut my teeth on the 14th D8. Should've been this week but they had to keep gluing the brackets back to my teeth. Up to now a total of 6 came off XD;;
