    Go with traditional metal or clear braces. I am an Orthodontist and my observation is that metal braces work faster and are more sturdy, compared to clear braces. Currently there is big talk into self ligating braces or Damon braces. They are supposed to work faster but there is no scientific evidence to prove that. What ever you do, go to an Orthodontist and not a general dentist who does ortho. To find about an Orthodontist near you, go to: http://braces.org/locator_search.cfm. Good luck.
