I think it depends on what work you need doing and how much money you have to spare. Famous people tend to have clear braces; I vaguely remember that Tom Cruise had one, so if you do a google image search you might be able to find some close-ups (horrible as that may be) and see what one is like.
If you were in need of a brace, wouldn't your dentist have recommended you have one? Do you play a brass/wind instrument? Especially brass...remember that having a brace is likely to spoil your playing if you do.
