Ceramic brackets are tooth coloured brackets hence they look more aesthetic. They are equally effective.
But the draw back about these brackets are they tend to stain and are more delicate than metal brackets.

Here’s a simple, balanced reply:
Metal brackets are stronger, more affordable, and slightly faster in treatment time, while ceramic brackets are more aesthetic and blend with natural teeth but can be more fragile and costlier. It depends on your priorities—visibility vs. durability. Always best to decide after discussing with your orthodontist.

Ceramic brackets are aesthetic but costly.
Metal brackets are durable, cheap, and more effective in every other sense than aesthetics

Yeah, both are equally effective, the main difference is the visibility; those who are particular about their looks choose ceramic braces.

Ceramic braces are more aesthetic, but fragile and get stained over a period of time. If the patient is more concerned about aesthetics, they can also opt for lingual braces.
Lingual braces are attached onto the inner surfaces of teeth.
also, ceramic brackets may not be recommended incase of cases requiring complex tooth movement or a deep bite, since they are more fragile
Ceramic brackets are tooth-colored and aesthetically pleasing, offering similar effectiveness to metal brackets, but they can stain easily and are more fragile.
