Time taken for the braces depends on the severity of your case.. all braces have more or less the same effect but these they are very cosmetic so you opt for your preference depending on the price range

Approximate time taken is 1-1.5yrs for Ortho treatment. Plus minus few months depending upon your case. By all this time ceramic braces are wearable pleasantly, though costlier.

Please visit an orthodontic for detailed knowledge of various types of braces used.

Depends on your malocclusion. Your dentist will be the best person to say that. Both are good. Just that metal braces look a bit odd,and tooth coloured braces don't.
