If anyone is thinking about having braces please look at the difference between an Orthodontist and a Dentist. There’s a huge difference between the two and their knowledge in this area. I’m saying this having had Invisalign done 6 years ago with a dentist, huge regret. I’ve now found an orthodontist to correct some problems due to the last dentist and my goodness there’s such a difference between the two when it comes to knowledge of tooth movement.

Braces were not fun. They really hurt and the broken wires were awful when it happened. Getting them yanked off my teeth was traumatic. I had dreams of spitting out my teeth for a year after that. I wish I had the option of invisaline at the time but this was in the 90's.

[jjcoolz]

Your videos are so good keep up the good work u should post more your the best dentist I've seen so far

[christinelance]

YOU ARE THE FIRST orthodontist that addressed why my ortho SAID I COULD NOT HAVE Invisalign. She said there was way too much to do with my teeth and then didn't even offer clear brackets to me...said they break too easy and so they will only be offering me metal. WTH? anyway I hope this process is fast because braces on a 55yr middle aged woman is NOT CUTE.

[lynnethornewill]

Really useful and informative info and not taking an age to explain ! great

Hi ya!!! I am getting invisalign. I actually had braces as a kid, but of course as time went on I quit wearing my retainer. I went for a consult and looks like I am going to get invisalign. I didn't know they could hurt too. I just remember when I had braces my doctor would tighten them up once a month and my mouth would be so sore for a couple of days.

[Echolyris]

Haha I love how she speaks . Kind of like "well duhh right, I mean come on this is common sense you guys but for those that have asked"
I had braces many years ago and now my bottom teeth have shifted and now need to adjust them.

[Uhrtblondie_]

Thanks! I was kinda writing down some notes for this and it seems like invisalign has more cons.

[emmnuelgodwithus]

Thank you so much for the update and you're advise... I'm about to go have my teeth with traditional braces i was gonna get the other ones but you change my mind I don't feel like taking off when I eat or drink coffee jejeje

Nice video, bit more into would make this great, ie, why invis often requires IPR vs standard braces

[QueenHaidari-sool]

I consult with my doctor but I want the Invisalign I just wanna know that I’ll get results in Invisalign or no ?

Everyone is different. I am 56 years old and the Invisalign really helped my crowded bottom teeth in about a year. However it's easy to lose them. Also you can't drink coffee with them on if you don't want them stained. You must brush like 4 times a day after you eat and I always brush my Invisalign afterward too. Don't think it's good for your teeth to be trapped with coffee or soda while you have your Invisalign on. Either way you are at the dentist's mercy when they take off the brackets for metal braces or anchors for Invisalign. Also make sure you are seen often enough to check on your progress. Seen the Invisalign dentist only once after one year and now have an additional year to go even though my teeth weren't that bad. Another dentist chipped (took a small chunk) from my top tooth and does not specialize in Invisalign. It is noticeable too. You want to definitely make sure you go to a specialized Invisalign doctor. The only thing is both front teeth either need a composite or veneers anyway due to many years ago by a dentist sanding them down trying to make them straight and they ended up chipping away too.

Dear doctor, I have a problem with a crack in the tooth, can it be treated?

[bikesandbeats]

I know each case is different, but which one generally works faster?

[Self_learner]

After self legitimate treatment how many months we need to wear retainer ?

[veronicamwarren]

Thank you for your video. I have a consolation and this helped to know my options. As a woman of a certain age I kind of don't want the metal braces.

[Self_learner]

I have multiple tooth gap in front 5-6 teeth do you think self legitimate braces will be faster than invisalign ?

[babyyoda]

I already knew I would have to go with the braces route since I got excessive crowding, and invisalign isn’t great at fixing that 😂😂😂

[Daniel-vwdj]

thank you! do you know if Invisalign can help bring down your bottom teeth? I can see braces working for that kinda stuff, but not Invisalign
