You should customize explorer to display you custom type,The file you will use to customize the web client UI is web-client-config-custom.xml which is located in the extension folder in \tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension location.

<alfresco-config>

      </content-types>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>

deploying a content model only makes repository aware of you model.
If you want to make content type available in no matter which UI(explorer or share ),you should customize UI config to make UI aware of content type.
