What Are The Pro's & Con's of INVISALIGN?!

[@MicheleMuir]

I got Invisalign braces two weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with them. They’re very comfortable and I follow the rules to the letter. No problems at all and it hasn’t affected my speech either. Another plus is, I’ve already lost 2 kilograms because I don’t snack anymore!😊

[@Recoil816]

Today is my first day with Invisalign, and it feels so damn WEIRD! lol I have 23 trays, which is about half of what I expected, thankfully. I was supposed to get braces when I was a kid, but due to money issues I never could. I'm now 39 and finally going to get my teeth fixed. Not sure why I waited so long into adulthood. Oh well.

[@PremierOrthodontics]

Best of luck!

[@Recoil816]

@@PremierOrthodontics Thank you. Day two, and my front teeth are super sensitive. It's actually mildly painful to take the trays out whenever I do. And eating is a challenge at the moment, as the front teeth on top and bottom are incredibly sensitive.

[@saraedan8768]

I’m 30 & literally starting Wednesday

[@Recoil816]

​@@saraedan8768 Well, bear with the length of this and I will tell you what to expect, being a normal person and not a KZbin reviewer. The first tray was pretty uncomfortable... particularly taking them out and putting them back in. I found it helped to take them out sort of in the middle of your teeth or even from the front, not starting from the molars like the orthodontist will probably recommend. The worst part honestly is how insanely sensitive it makes your teeth. It made it rather difficult to eat, almost like my teeth were "sore", if that makes sense. It took 3 or 4 days for it to stop being quite so annoying. By day 5 or 6, I got very used to it and the pain was probably 90% dissipated. Then came the second tray. It was really tight at first, but it only took 2 days at most until I was used to it, and it stopped hurting much more quickly than the previous tray. I just went and got the attachments put on last week. That process sucked, primarily because of the stupid thing they have your mouth held open with... damn thing was digging into my gums and cheeks really bad. Afterwards, my teeth felt awful. Not awful as in painful, but gross. The attachments feel like you have food stuck to your teeth--grainy, rough, just plain irritating. Then they had me put the 3rd tray on right afterwards. It was very tight, and particularly on one tooth I have that is slightly crooked and sticks out just a little past my front teeth, directly to the side of it. The tray was really putting pressure on that sucker, and it was extremely uncomfortable. It felt like putting the first tray in again, but worse, in my opinion. I was surprised at how tight they were. It took a few days of adjusting, but it's not bad at all now. Tonight is when I switch to my 4th tray (2nd with the attachments). I'm hoping it sort of follows suit with the first two before, and it won't be painful, but just tight. We'll see. Oh, and taking the trays out at this point becomes very annoying. Easily twice as difficult as before the attachments. It takes some practice and getting used to. My advice is to floss and brush after every single thing you eat, go buy an extra toothbrush and scrub the trays with soap (hand soap will do) once a day to keep them from getting nasty tartar buildup... it happens quicker than you think it will and it is difficult to clean out if it is bad enough. Oh, and don't use toothpaste to scrub them. It leaves a white film on the trays almost instantly. Anything else I didn't mention, ask and I'll explain as best I can with my limited knowledge. lol

[@Asmr_soda1]

@@Recoil816 thanks for the detailed explanation, I'll start Invisalign soon. Now that it's been a month from your comment, is it hurting less/feeling less annoying?

[@Kimmer]

I'm using aligners fine, but the one big surprise to me is how much of a pain it is to remove the aligners. I have lots of attachments which probably contributes to this difficulty. I'm getting better, but it's often a struggle to get the aligners out, especially a new set. It's also a pain to remove them so often when traveling. But it's still worth it and I will endure these inconveniences.

[@PremierOrthodontics]

Stay strong! The end result makes it all worth it! We're rooting for you!

[@TheMidnightModder]

There's a reason we're still talking about Invisalign after all these years. They greatly rival braces! If they weren't as good as braces or had too many drawbacks they would have been another failed invention. But they're still here today and have grown in popularity throughout the time they've been around. I'm excited to check out Invisalign!

[@Level-333]

I’m on week 5, I’ve been compliant. My treatment plan is 23 weeks with weekly Change outs. I did have attachments put on all but 5 teeth which people should know when considering Invisalign. Compliance is key. I wear them 23 hours a day and eat a big breakfast and a big dinner. That way I can be compliant and still be able to eat. It’s a big commitment

Nobody ever mentions eating disorders when talking about invisalign... But it's terrible for people with eating disorders....

[@timschulze4162]

I started with aligners but had to switch to braces because my very deep could not be treated with those. So yes, aligners are less painful and the changes in your teeth position are so gradually spaced between each tray. However I was brushing my teeth like 5 or 6 times a day as I am a coffee drinker and it drove me nuts. Now with regular braces the pain is usually only bad the first few days after an adjustment and sometimes wires poke and your mouth gets sore but I only need to thoroughly clean my teeth before I go to bed, in the mornings it’s just regular brushing. It’s actually way easier to fit regular braces into my work field/daily routines and in my case my deep bite is best treated with them. (I have to wear rubber bands though and also need compliant use😆)

[@kat1823]

I really found your video informative. I'm forty seven and i'm about to get invisalign, and I always thought I would only have the option of braces.Thank you so much for your information

[@CarolinaPerez-yw4be]

I used regular braces when I was young. Now, more than 30 years later, my teeth have moved and there's a gap (space) between my canines and lateral incisives. My dentist suggested Invisalign to close the gap, and I'm now on my first week. He put some buttons on my canines and back molars. He gave me 3 sets of trays and told me that I should wear each set all the time ( except when earing) for 2 weeks. I noticed that the plastic bags are numbered 1 of 10, 2 of 10 and 3 of 10. Does this mean that the gaps will be closed with 10 teays?

[@komakino0]

yes that should be correct. I have 14 trays, now finishing my 11th. I can see the gap at the front is gone! But you might be advised to use retainers after the invisalign trays are completed.

Biting an apple is absolutely not an option while doing invisalign treatment. You have to slice the apple... Your teeth will be sore, pressure will be painful. But only while the tooth is moving the pain goes away once the teeth are moved and your in retainers

Generally Invisalign will cost a bit more than braces - but it will depend on the doctor's office as each doctor will set their own fees. Invisalign can fix most tooth and bite problems, although there are a few specific cases that might be best treated with braces.

[@PremierOrthodontics]

Please watch our other videos and visit our website. We discuss braces as much or more than Invisalign. In fact, 90% of our patients get braces. Our goal is to provide information and let patients pick the option that works best for them. 95% of patients can be successfully treated with braces or Invisalign. There are about 5% of patients that one method may work better than another. This is why we encourage everyone to visit an orthodontist to find out which option works best for their teeth and bite, and also their lifestyle. Invisalign treatment, like braces, takes years to master and we definitely wouldn’t call either treatment option easy. Both options can work, and an experienced orthodontist can guide the decision on which may work best in specific circumstances. But, like we mentioned before, 95% of patients can be successfully treated with either option and it is a personal choice in which option best fits your lifestyle. Thanks again for watching.
