[@lauraarcetobon909]

i’ve had ceramic braces for 10 months now and they’re honestly amazing. my ligatures don’t get stained easily and my braces don’t break either. (i broke two once because i was eating ice, so that was on me. not on the brackets) mine are completly clear and i honestly love them! i’m so happy i got them instead of the metal ones. Update: Hello! Today it’s currently July 6th, 2020. I’m getting my braces off this 21st and I personally really liked my experience. For some reason, the brackets I broke during the process where mostly my back metal brackets! They don’t break easily, I’m sure of that. Clear braces don’t stain, at all. What stains is the ligatures (depending on what you eat) and that’s okay because you get them changed every appointment. At the end of my treatment I went a little bold and I started using coloured ligatures and it was very fun! My favourite colours ended up being baby blue, baby pink and lilac, they made my teeth look whiter and they never stained!

[@lauraarcetobon909]

by breaking i meant it just came off my teeth, it didn’t break itself!

[@breathedarlingokay]

when i had braces i got the metal braces and always got silver bands. it got to the point i forgot i had them (aside from the pain) -- it wasnt a defining part of my personality/character. people forgot i had them. i had them longer bc i didnt wear my rubber bands all the time in middle school. but eventually i just put them in and left them there, and replaced them only when they snapped. things moved quickly after that. my one friend had clear braces -- they stained so much. especially when he ate cheezits ... i think if you are worried abt braces being noticeable, do what i did- get the classic silver braces, and only ever have silver bands. im so glad i didnt get ceramic braces. they would have looked much worse. aesthetically; its like how i only wear pearl earrings -- its classic, its more resigned + refined. it goes with everything. you will get through it. i cried when i heard i had to get braces, but believe me, it is worth it. and a privilege not everyone has. stick with it when you are young and your adult self will thank you greatly.

I am getting jaw surgery and 8 months into my treatment I found out that the surgeon prefers metal brackets. I got clear on top and metal on bottom. Both the orthodontist and surgeon reassured me that it will be fine and that if I got metal brackets on top I would have to wait another 6 months to a year for adjustments. Make sure both doctors are in proper communication to avoid misunderstanding.

[@LotusBookWorm]

I know its been a year but hows it going? Why are you getting braces and jaw surgery?

[@karimthomasii1120]

@@LotusBookWorm I had a bad cross bite, the braces are required for proper alignment during surgery. Thankfully the Dr I worked with left me with no pain and minimal sensitivity. However, at times it feels my upper jaw feels a bit unstable since I had to get it operated on twice. The Dr thought I may have a non-union. It feels like it may be gradually improving but I will not risk another surgery unless it gets worse. He thought I might have been clenching too much. I recently got my braces off and am in retainers eating full solids.

@@LotusBookWorm It has changed a lot and for the better. My face is not as long on one side and my bottom lip is not sticking out under the top one as far as it was. My surgeon also gave me a chin modification and cheek implants which also contributed to more dramatic results. The cheek implants were needed to fill my face out as my mouth was being moved forward to avoid a "chimpanzee" appearance. I recommend watching my videos "In Another Time" and one of my recent book videos on my main channel as it will show my face before and after the surgery about a year apart.

its me you only NEED them when your braces from the top row are hitting the bottom row and you can feel it. This causes pain and can knock some brackets off. If your bite is off then it’s up to your orthodontist to give you bite blockers or not. After a week or 2 you get used to them.

So I got my lower braces May 23rd. It took an hour to put them on. They didn't put brackets on my canines because of my situation. My teeth started to get sore not even 2 hours in. I ate normally until night. I had to eat soup because of the pain. The pain isn't what people describe it. For me the pain was bearable unlike my spacers. My teeth were really sore for 3 days and I had to eat soft foods and slowly. But the brackets with hooks were a pain in the butt and they still are but not that bad. Stock up on wax and oragel I would recommend. I'm getting my upper braces and 1st tighting done the 25th. A day after my brother's birthday (Yay, I can eat cake and carne asada comfortably) But braces have taught me how really important oral hygiene is. The only things I don't like is when my cheeks and tongue get caught on the brackets/wires.

Great explanation. Thankyouu Dr. Greg By the way, I don't use those type of bracket. Now I use whats-called sapphiere braces. The colour is not white but transparent. And the size is bigger than metal bracket but less boggy than clear bracket.

[@territory361]

Me too. In my region, only a few clinics offer this treatment option. These brackets are sturdier compared to ceramic brackets, I've never had any issues

[@Stephaii]

I regret getting ceramic braces. Why? -They come off easily (First month wearing them and about 6 of the brackets have come off already.) -They are $500 more than the metal ones. -They charge me $35 for each bracket that pops off, where as for the metal they said are like $10. Like I said, it's only been month 1 out of 18, so on top of the extra $500 I'm paying for wanting ceramics over metal, I will be paying MORE for the next brackets I'm sure will pop off for no reason. -They ARE bulkier. I look like I have a mouth full of food! I look awful.. -More trips to the dentist office because they come off and I need to get new ones glued on. I highly advise to just get metal. I got ceramic because I'm 24 years old, slightly embarrassed to be wearing braces at this age. I'm also a broke college student, so I wish I had just gotten metal!

I’m 27 but got my braces off at 16 but didn’t wear my retainers. I was told that I would need them again for about 17 months or Invisalign for the same time and trying to decide. Thanks for the helpful video

[@readingteacher1168]

Hey Dr. Greg, can you do a video on taking the braces off? I recently read somewhere that the ceramic braces were more brutal to remove than the medal and that the ceramics can break off enamel. Please tell me this isn't true.

[@hoangvietle312]

I am going to get clear brackets on my upper teeth and metal brackets on my lower teeth 😁

[@MommaBubbly]

Hoang Viet Le that’s what I have

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Sweet! Good choice!

[@samgeffner1072]

Momma Bubbly same! getting them on in a few days. how did it go for you?

[@gemmawarburton6161]

I got my braces on 6 days ago, I got metal and Christmas colours

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

Decades (three) later, I had a dream that I had the metal braces on, I felt the pressure. Thankfully, it was only a dream. I looked in the mirror to check!

[@annalise6141]

I’m about to get braces and this really helped me decide what I should get

[@georgie8154]

What did you get??

[@luisahermida8016]

I have ceramic braces and I think they are great,the only brackets that have actually broken were the metal braces I have on my molars

[@ryanjansen3229]

I just got top and bottom braces and I was wondering why the bottoms hurt so much more than the tops.

[@elodiejarillot1092]

Yes ,the bottom hurts more (i'm talking by experience)

[@chinita1pr]

Same experience

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Everyone has different pain tolerances and some people find the top to hurt more while others find the bottom. Some dont even have discomfort at all!

[@leewhaley552]

Thanks for the comparison. Wish Id know this my first yime with braces. My ceramic brackets broke, they stained, they were much bigger eith sharp edges that cut my cheeks, and worst of all they broke off a piece of one yooth when being removed. The ortho that corrected my deep bite slanted my front teeth back to compensate for the overjet and now years later I have braces again (metal this time) to move my top teeth out so I wont break my bottom teeth as before. Living and learning

[@eugiverastigue2306]

How about midline problems? Please do a video.

[@kendraanahi9540]

I have clear brackets but with a rubber band around them are the the same brackets you are talking about in your video

[@samirjha1919]

I got the clear braces yesterday. The hooks (spikes) of the interior brackets are slicing my lips. They are not rounded and smooth like the metal braces hooks. I did a mistake by opting for clear braces. I should have gone for the metal braces.

[@ritushukla9284]

😲😳 m getting my ceramic ones next week....m worried as hell...... how's your lip thing?

[@samirjha1919]

@@ritushukla9284 The first 5 to 8 days were difficult. I used dental wax on some of the brackets to avoid the friction. My lips were able to adapt to the braces in almost two weeks. Don't worry, it manageable 😅

[@to_moirin]

Dunno if this is mentioned but ceramic braces are used for people who are allergic to stainless steel (somehow thats a thing). I know someone from a school i went who wore ceramic braces bc he cant put metal in his mouth without getting sent to the hospital.

[@mstudio8094]

Who is affected his or her orthodontist appointment because of coronavirus. My last appointment was February 6th almost 4 months not seen my doctor.

[@CrystalALSim]

Thanks for the info! I'd love to see a video on the differences between traditional metal braces vs self-ligating braces if you don't mind. Keep up the good work!

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Definitely plan on doing a video on that soon!

[@therevenant8911]

This is the best ortho channel on youtube

[@bellelaight3287]

Got ceramics yesterday 💀😭

[@MsVanna24]

I’ve had my ceramics on for 2 years now and tbh I would’ve just gotten metal. I’ve never had issues with my brackets but to me metal is cheaper and it scares me how they are going to remove my ceramics 😬 The metals ones look like they’d be easier to come off..

[@silverbloodyt9649]

I have both, my top is clear and my bottom is metal.

[@daniellemorrison5809]

I’m so stuck deciding! I’m 20 so I feel like I’m too old to have metal braces but don’t want the staining of clear 😭

[@itzmestella3115]

Danielle Morrison clear braces don’t stain they just stain if you get clear colored bands

[@daniellemorrison5809]

@@itzmestella3115 When you say "bands" do you mean like the rubber band elastics? Or bands as in the part around the braces themselves... sorry i dont know this braces terminology lol

[@sgtruru]

According to some comments, I would say metal to be safe. Clear ones cost more, are bulkier, again more easily, and break more easily.

[@dinadebs4528]

how faster are the metal braces if we come to compare it to the ceramic one... for ex: if a treatment needs 6 month in metal braces.. how long does it in ceramic one ?

[@LereimGames]

my braces is so different! I have braces with lids that hold the string in place on the teeth and not knit. when you change the string, the jaw orthopedic opens all the blocks with a similar metal stick so that all the blocks are open, instead of spending longer on putting on and off knits, and something like that.. when the string is in place and sits in the the last two bricks on the end, then just use his finger to push the lid back in place. the lids stay firmly in place and do not go out if you have something to jerk them out with .. the lids are so good that the jaw dentist sometimes struggles to get them up .. with those bricks he only takes about 8 minutes to change one strict .. quite complicated and smart😉 upgrade to such blocks I use😁 much better! Sorry for my bad english.. i’m norwegian..

[@tatehudgens2270]

I am getting braces soon,I am scared of them staining,should I just get metal.what can I do to help them not stain

[@LT-du1rw]

Idk why it’s so hard for me to make a decision. I want it done as quickly as possible and never have to look back. Also, I grind my teeth and it sucks only reason why I considered invis but I’d rather a true braces professional do all the work not me

[@anaissalazar2358]

Thank, been anxious for this video. Very well explained.

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Thank you so much !

[@bezeebee]

I came here thinking Dr. Greg would tell me that the silver brackets typically cuts your treatment time (i.e. without the clear ones being broken/damaged in anyway) cause I've been in braces for over 5 years now and my initial issue is no where close to some cases I've seen here on KZbin and their treatment last for less than half the time I've already spent in braces. And no, I haven't missed appointments nor have my braces popped off, nor have I been delinquent in wearing my elastics etc..

[@Alloniya]

My aunt was wear them for 5 years too. Some cases are harder to fix, but also it could be non professional orthodontist… the more time you wear them the more damage to teeth

[@squidwardsnose4551]

Why do some of my friends have clear at the top and metal at the bottom?

[@elodiejarillot1092]

Because some orthodontist doesn't put clear brakets on the bottom teeth because its mire likely to break on the bottom

[@squidwardsnose4551]

Spongebob was here aw ok

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Yup, you guys got it !! =]

[@tanginamoduque6730]

if my braces are remove does the dentist use it again to the other patients?? or they throw it away?

[@tomatt2604]

If I get the clear ones, can I still pick a color?

[@sfxdamon8346]

I m getting my braces of 19th of November!!!!

[@BananAlqurashi]

How does it feel? I might get mine tomorrow.
