Can I switch to clear braces after I just got metal? (photos)

tmurphy11222Sep 24, 2015
So I just got braces yesterday. I paid 200 dollar more because they gave me the ceramic ones. But they told me they still have to put metal on the bottom. So they did a day later and I hate how the metal looks I want the ceramic ones on the bottom too. When I come in next month for it to be tightened can I tell them I want to switch to ceramic ones? I'm very insecure with how it looks right now.
