BRACES VS INVISALIGN … Which Is Best?! 

I hate braces, I'm out about $17k for 3 daughters. Middle child asked if we're getting her a car, I told her her car is in her mouth

“you’re not going to take them off” tiktok girls: try me

"BRACES GET THE JOB DONE LICKITY SPLIT" Me 6 years later: 😐

as someone who had had invisalign and metal braces, braces were a little more of an inconvenience to have, but it straightened my teeth more effectively than invisalign.🤷🏻‍♀️

Orthodontist: you’re getting braces in November Me: binge watches a bunch of braces videos

Metal braces put you on a slight diet. After 2 years you have straighten teeth and fit body, 🤘🏽😆

me: *extremely mad abt getting braces* family: look on the bright side you'll get to choose pretty colors my orthodontist: *gives me a different kind of braces that don't use the colored bands* -v-

I'm using invisalign, and I'm on week 21. Where I live they're quite new, so they're like 3 times more expensive. I'm very responsable, so I always wear my invisalign all the time, they helped me build a great habit of brushing my teeth for 5 minutes, and after each meal. I'm very happy with the results I'm seeing, and they've helped me so much with my confidence

Bentist: Braces get the job done lickidy split! People with braces: yea these two years are goin real fast

If you're self conscious of your braces right now, rest assured no one will really know while you're wearing your mask 😆

I had severe crowding and decided to get Invisalign a few years ago. The first few months were awful. It hurt soooo bad putting aligner trays in and it especially hurt taking them out. Once you put the aligners on after 15 minutes or so the pain would go away. I would often skip snacks and/or meals because I wasn’t in the mood for the pain I wound feel taking them out and putting back in. Something else to consider with Invisalign is that you’re supposed to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in which is easy enough when you’re home but it’s a real pain in the butt when you’re at a restaurant or at school etc.The buttons/attachments felt like I had rocks on my teeth and they would irritate the inside of my mouth/cheeks. I definitely would not recommend Invisalign for kids. Besides, the benefit of being able to take out your aligners and eat whatever you want is somewhat overrated since it was so painful taking the aligner out there was no way I was going to eat anything that you wouldn’t be able to eat with braces anyway.

“I know youre not taking your braces off” My best friend popping out her wire: i think not.

Imma be honest i've ate so many things i'm not supposed to and never has my bracket broken

you know he's a good dentist when your teacher pulls up a video of him talking about this

Him: Talks about Invisalign’s Price Me: See’s an add about how to get cheap Invisaligns Me again: Well i’m lucky :>

TIP -Always go to an Orthodontist if you want braces not a General dentist. The Ortho goes through extra years of specialist training for this area, a General Dentist does a little side course. I found out the hard way when a General dentist messed my teeth up with Invisalign, wouldn't have happened if i went to an Ortho.

We living in the best possible time to wear braces. Face masks do help 🤣

If Invisalign hurts like braces do I would just take it out whenever it hurt 😂 knowing I have that much freedom is gonna require self control I do not have 😂

I just started my braces “journey” and I didn’t really have a choice but I was given Invisalign which I like because I can eat whatever I like

i love this dude. i was not so confident in brushing and really didnt pay much attention to my teeth. he has taught me and inspired me to take better care of my teeth. thank you bentist

Your the person who would make young kids actually WANT to go to the dentist 😂 🪥

Yaaaa I’m sticking with braces. I would be way to inclined to take them out, whereas with braces there’s literally no way around it. That’s really the defining factor for me.

I have had both. Currently in invisalign now and will 100% perfer invisalign over traditional metal braces any day. The pain is far beyond none and the only problem I have with invisalign is having to take them out to eat. But its not that big of issue for me. Traditional braces made me miserable and constantly in pain. I had them for 8 years so trust me, it effin sucked. I can talk without an issue, don't have my lips and gums aggravated or bleeding. My experience with having both id choose invisalign 100%.

I don’t know how my orthodontist is like this, Invisalign’s are like twice the price of metal braces wear I go....☹️

Me who has already has had braces for 2 years, 2 to go, watching this like I change my decision: 👁👄👁

"They are the same price" yea.. £2200 for braces and £4000 for Invisalign are the same-

I recently just got my Invisalign off and now I finally have my retainer I wish I would have known about this channel sooner so I would have known what to expect but it's over now and I am super happy with how everything turned out

Never thought I’d see the day we’d be excited to get braces. Boy how times have changed and I’m only in my mid twenties 😭

What's amazing about braces is the suprise effect when its time to reveal the end result. You dont have that "wow factor" with invisalign...

2 months in with metal braces, 45 years old, I have the best of the best Ortho in NYC, I'm feeling great

I’m currently 3/4 through my Invisalign treatment and I’ve been happy with it. What isn’t mentioned most importantly is that Invisalign has limitations compared to conventional bracers. They cannot correct the more complex and more involved treatments. There is also modern conventional bracers that can be placed behind the teeth which make them even more discreet than Invisalign… but the cost for them are astronomically higher. Lastly not a huge issue but Invisalign can get dirty with bacteria forming plaque… which you need to maintain, either with hydrogen peroxide mix or light brushing.

I am on week 42 of 43 for my Invisalign’s but my treatment plan is going to last longer than I thought. I got to get elastic bands on my next trays to correct my bite. Some weeks, they hurt. Other weeks they don’t. Overall I’m happy with my choice. My sister has had her braces since like her sophomore year in high school. She is now a sophomore in college and she is still no where near the finish line🥴. I just don’t have that much patience.

My teeth have been a ride. I started with getting 8 baby teeth pulled, and expander, braces. And now I’m getting the braces off to finish off with Invisalign. Then finally I will get implants in like 5 years

I have Invisalign and it’s not bad at all. I’m on week 21 and have seen a crazy difference in my teeth. As far as soreness, it was bad the very first week. As time goes on it doesn’t hurt anymore. I sometimes go hours without them on and they still move my teeth lmao. Huge perk is that i still get to eat everything 😂

I got Invisalign at 10 years old. I was very responsible and wore it for many hours, I didn't lose them and at the time my dad had them too. He lost them way more than me. I remembered to clean them, take them out to eat, etc. I def prefer Invisalign!

i found this channel in my recommended and now i cant stop watching it

Tip: If anyone is getting braces do NOT get brown,yellow, or white bands it makes your teeth look dirty! 😂👁👅👁

I got braces because I knew I would be lazy to do anything else lol 😂

A tip I found with the lain with invisalign is sticking a ice cube in your mouth I tried it out one day to see if it would go away and it did and I could have my retainer in without pain, until it melted of course And with people taking it out when it hurts, that's called your teeth responding to the treatment lol? I got to have my invisalign be done early because I did so well with keeping it in at all times and such And one more downside with invisalign is the buttons. I had to have buttons because of my over bite and I will never want to have them back. They are basicly a small metal rod that is place on your canine teeth (or at least thats where mine were) elastics hook from the button to hook attachments on your bottom molars (this also has a bar from the buttons to your top molars, mine was to secure my canine teeth i think) and until you get used to them, you lip gets caught.

It literally showed me an Invisalign ad when I clicked on this

When my uncle was a kid. He pulled all his brackets off with a bottle opener 😬 He is regretting it now with teeth that looks like crap

When bentist said for to get braces out by professionals: Me in the room with my dad: Me looking at my dad because is parents forgot to take him to get them removed and used pliers to remove them himself: My mind: eeeeeeee....

One of my friends has had her braces for about a year and I swear every time I see her (up to 2-3 times a week) she ALWAYS has a broken bracket, because all she does is play with them.

Planning to get braces. This is very helpful. Having the right mindset and expectations. Also the budget to have them.

I didn't get braces because if I did, my orthodontics said I had to take out SEVERAL teeth out. which was 150 dollars per tooth. Plus I didn't like the idea of not being able to eat some food such as chewy foods, which I love. I hate Invisalign because you have to be REALLY responsible with them. But they make a big difference in not that much days! My biggest flex with them is that I can eat anything I wasn't without having to worry about braces being broken.

I like it how you call it Hollywood smile but 😕REALLY😕😅

Ok I feel disrespected for me at least Invisalign I'm about a week away from finishing only took 10 months so about half the time and it ways easier then braces, you just got to brush your teeth after every time you eat and clean your trays when there dirty, he says your teeth are gonna stain, that's completely false you just got to be responsible and brush after every meal and snack. The only drawback that I've experienced is that I don't eat snacks that much anymore because I don't feel like brushing my teeth after, but you could if you feel like it though.

Wow very interesting.. Thank you Bentist for this vid! Soon im getting braces so this is very helpful. Keep up the good work! ❤️

I'm literally choosing braces just for the colors😂 maybe this video will change my mind

I already have braces but I still found this helpful

Vanessa Vazqyez: I'm getting my Hollywood smile in 2 years 😂 Me: Mines in about 5 years

Thank you bentist getting my braces really soon this video really helped

My orthodontist said I didn’t even have the choice for Invisalign. My teeth were too messed up and I needed an expander

so basically: braces are better

Thank you for this!! I needed this video

My Spark Aligner treatment was only 8 months with weekly tray changes. They also don't stain like Invisalign! I drink room temp coffee, tea, even wine and zero stains. 😁

I wish he was my orthodontist! Imagine walking into his office! It would be the best experience even with braces!

I rather braces because when u get ur braces off, u get retainers.

I am getting braces on fall break and I was kinda scared but you showed me all the good things about braces, so thank you!

I’ve had my braces for a little bit idk how long maybe 1 month idk. But I just started watching the Bentist and now I can enjoy learning about all the metal in my mouth and still understand.🥰

Honestly I have braces that my insurance covered, which I’m grateful for. Wear you’re bands brush after every meal. My teeth look so much better with 6 months of braces and a year of an expander

Im on my 10th tray of Invisalign and super impressed! Invisalign will fix most issues as long as your bite isn't too bad..Great time to get your teeth fixed with everyone wearing masks!

I’m currently in my phase one braces retainer! Been about 6 months with retainer! Excited for phase 2 ima get my Hollywood smile! :)

thank you so much Bentist this was very helpful as i can start the prosses of my hollywood smile once i lose two more teeth . also i really love your videos they are very helpful and make me laugh and smile.

I've started my 3rd tray, can't wait for the end result. I don't know if I have decent pain tolerance, but it doesn't hurt as people make it out to be, but you need to realise your teeth are moving, it's not going to be pain-free.

He is amazing my mom is a dentist and she said he doesn’t lie tysm for telling the truth to us

That was pretty helpful honestly, now I know what I want my dentist didn’t explain anything rly, thank you dr Ben☺️

glad to see this video, the dentist!! 💖 you explained their differences in sooo understandable way.. this reminds me how kriss ai answers my questions .. 💖

I’m on week 11 of my Invisalign treatment and honesty it’s pretty great! I’ve always feared braces because I get so much anxiety about if I have food stuck in my teeth and nobody telling me, which was the main reason i chose Invisalign! Other reasons are because I have a pretty small mouth and didn’t want to have braces and all the appliances in because that’s all you would see. Also because cleaning braces always seemed like so much work and I’ve always heard they are quite painful. I am pretty responsible so I try to only have my trays out for 2-4 hours a day and sometimes it can be a struggle cause you basically have time limits for how long you can eat and brush your teeth and trays before getting them back in (the only reasons I’ve found to take them out so far). You have to make sure your teeth are clean before you put them in after eating (eating anything or drinking anything but cold water) which can be such a hassle. I’ve got at least 47 weeks of trays (new tray every 7 days) so quite a while but I’m excited to have my teeth and jaw fixed to where I want them! I’ve already got a LOT of tooth gaps happening in my back teeth so there’s that! I’m getting there! I’m really enjoying Invisalign and even if it can take longer, as long as you wear them and are good about oral hygiene, it’s really nice to have the freedom to take them out to eat and all that. (Sad I can’t drink tea with my trays in though...worst part lol)

going to a orthodontist appointment, and they gonna do it X-ray to see if I need braces, and then I'm gonna go back to the dentist and get them. If I need them, I'm so scared it's an 8 days

Because of the Bentist he has answered all of my questions about how braces work and how they are put on. Now I can't wait to get my braces in December. Thanks so much😉

Thank you so much for this I’ve had no idea if I was able to get an Invisalign because of my overbite but now I know I can and I’m so happy!!!! Thanks again

I’m getting braces in 3 days broski I’m excited.

my mom's actually scheduling my first ortho appointment tomorrow

Well from what I herd from my orthodontist, Metal braces with rubber bands actually help with over/under bites and straighten your teeth while Invisalign just helps with straightening ur teeth.

i love braces! I've had them sense may 11 2020 so almost a year! I haven't had any pain really and i love how you can pick colors, so i suggest braces because they have also moved my teeth A LOT!

I had Invisalign for 2 1/2 years (Yes I had an extreme case haha). They weren't completely working the way my Orthodontist wanted so she switched me to metal braces. I LOVE metal braces so much more than invisalign!

Omg u release vids at exactly the right moment! I just got a call from the dentist telling me to go in to see if I need braces!

Loving th3 nonchalant vibe in the vid

Congrats for 60k buttttt......Your now at 400k!🥳😍😇🤩

I have the invisalign, and for me, is 100% better than the other type. Doesn't hurt, it's easy to clean your teeth, and the treatment time is short, compared to the other.

Hey, i am getting invisalines in a week or so, so i was wondering if you can make a video just in invisalines? Like how they put them on your teeth and how they work?

I need to get braces/Invisalign, as well as a mouth widener because my mouth is small. (I do love eating lot though-) so I feel like I should go with the Invisalign because it’s more convenient and the foods I need to help me get through the day aren’t fit for braces- but I don’t know which to get if I’m being honest- cause if I get the braces, the wires will scrape the crap outta my cheeks- but Invisalign will help me to actually keep my day going as if nothing had happened- soreness in my mouth/jaw areas aren’t “normal” per say, but easy for me to deal with because of smiling for so long everyday and mouth becoming sore- sorry for this becoming such a long comment, I just ramble on a lot of the time- but this helped me to think about a few things, so thank you!

Y'all PLEASE wear your retainers after braces!! Mine broke and I took my time getting back to my ortho, and they didn't have the old mould of my teeth as I thought they would. They took a new cast of my crooked-again teeth and gave me a crooked retainer. I gotta get my teeth done again and it's expensive and time consuming!!! Just do what your orthodontist says 😂😭😂

I’m getting my braces off next month 🙏🏻 I remember binge watching videos like these a year ago, time goes by so fast.

The important thing about Invisalign is you have to learn how to take the aligners out so you don’t accidentally break them or any attachments. After accidentally breaking a few attachments the first day I got them, my dentist showed me the proper way to take them out, and I’ve been fine since! Just have to be patient :)

I had to choose between those two and you're video was on my fyp(?) so here I am! I know what I want to have now. Thank youuuu❤️

I needed this sm

When he said people take them out when they get uncomfortable i got an ad that said "sometimes pain is worthit" xD

I’m very well known where I live because I am a ballerina and I’ve always wanted to get braces, but it wasn’t the best for my image so I got clear braces I can still get the colored bands, but the metal part doesn’t show! So I lot of my friends don’t know I have braces! Also really good for dance competitions!

My only option was metal braces but either way I wanted metal braces. They seem to work better and honestly love the way they look Excited to get them on next month

I'm in my 5th week of an alternative system to Invisalign. It's produced like 20 km away from my home town. And nobody noticed that I'm wearing these Aligners until now. I love it. Recommend it if it's possible for you!

My Hollywood smile is coming in 2 years and 4 months and the bentist videos are helping me so much!

I had Invisalign I didn't have any attachments or rubber bands. I simply got new trays every two weeks. Each new tray was tighter than the previous one until the teeth moved and then back to a new tray. I was about 52 when I had them. Worked great.

Bentist you are my inspiration do become an orthodontist Ilysm Thx to u I finally dicided what I want to do with my life

I had Invisalign and it was awesome. I also slacked of super hard on them and would go like days without wearing them. To catch up I would just jump ahead a couple sets of liners and ultra move my teeth. Somehow my teeth came out AWESOME and I even didn't wear the retainer afterwards and my teeth didn't hardly even move back. My wisdom teeth have even came in since and my mouth still looks great. Invisalign was a blessing

omg i love this guy he has ben so so helpful for my friend who does have braces you are awesome keep up the good work!!!

I wish i had gotten braces before covid so that they didn't see them with the mask on but I still haven't gotten them

the intro always does it for me XD Love it
