Types of Braces: There is no significantly detectable difference in size between the two. it is purely cosmetic in my opinion.

10-20%: Ceramic braces are generally about 10-20% larger than metal braces in all three dimensions. That size differential should make absolutely no difference in tactile perception (will feel the same to your lip, tongue, cheek).
