Which is best metal or ceramic hip replacement?
There are quite a few variables here 1. There are two versions of each. Metal on metal and metal on polyethylene and ceramic on ceramic and ceramic on polyethylene 2. Polyethylene wears out quicker then either metal or ceramic 3. There is currently a massive recall of metal on metal hip implants. These tend to shed minute particles which can cause rejection of the implant and can enter the bloodsream. The plus side for metal on metal is that they can use larger cups (pelvis side of the joint) which means they are less likely to dislocate. Though rate of dislocation will depend on other factors as well e.g. surgical approach used. 4. Ceramic has a long life span but in a few cases makes a horrible squeaking noise and in even rarer cases they can shatter - known as catastrophic failure! Like metal on metal they can use a larger cup size. Ceramic and ceramic is probably now the current favourite If I had to chose I'd definitely go for ceramic on ceramic.

Are ceramic braces just as good as the normal ones?
Ceramic braces are just as good as the metal ones. Ceramic braces are less visible than metal ones but they can stain if you drink a lot of coffee, smoke etc. But this is usually not a problem, so you don't have to worry about that. Metal braces are the same as ceramic braces, except these are definitely not invisible. These never stain because they are metal and you can choose from different colours. Or you can get ceramic on top and metal on bottom, that's what I'm getting. I'm not getting ceramic on the bottom because you can't see the bottom teeth much. Hope this was helpful :)
