Which braces are better?
I am having a scissor bite in the upper two molars & a over jet in the front teeth. The orthodontist has suggested to choose any kind of braces I wish too. What should I go for metallic or ceramic? Conventional or Self ligating?
Cost is not a concern. Aesthetics & Duration of treatment is.

Hi, cost not being a concern, best treatment option for you is INVISALIGN (Aligner) treatment. You can google what aligners are and look for a rough idea. Or i would suggest go for conventional metal brackets.
Next Steps
Bracket selection also depends on type of malocclusion and severity. We can see what suits you best based on your teeth pictures and video consultation. We can discuss various treatment options for you via online consultation. Or you can connect with me on Instagram @houseof_smiles for a free consultation.

You should go for ceramic braces if you choose between metallic or ceramic
You can think about invisalign if you want more aesthetic treatment.
Thank you.
