Except for unnamed and dodge bonuses, bonuses of the same type do not stack.

Hence you can't wear full plate and also benefit from Bracers of Armor.

Or bonus from sources that add exceptions (like an animal companion or special mount that adds an natural armor bonus to the animal's normal natural armor bonus), but it's not the case here. TWDefense and bucklers of any kind have the bonus with the same name, and no special rule to stack them.
