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!😊
how are you doing now? im in 16 days in
@@sjacqVO21 I’m going great thanks. I’m 2 months along now and I’m noticing that my teeth are already much straighter. Best of luck with your Invisalign too.😀
How are you doing? I'm starting mine soon and wanted some candid sharing.
I'm about to start.I hope I have the same experience
I really loved how continous this video where he is continously saying just straight to the point. Wonderful Video. Worth subscribing to this channel
I’m 8 months into my Invisalign experience. Pros: easy to take off & put back on. Cons: if you are lazy and not ready for high maintenance of teeth don’t bother
What do you mean by high maintenance.
Thanks
@@ciscoa4932 the more u wear them the better it works. U gotta brush them before u go to bed & when u wake up every day. A serious brush too especially after a week of wearing them if u put them up to the light u can see excess food n what not stuck in the gaps. So it is a lot to a certain extent but it is what it is
@@WestboundPromo416 ah I see I see, I ask because I literally just left from a dentist app and I’m getting those next week.
So you don’t take them off to eat ? Correct?
@@ciscoa4932 na you have to take them off to eat & you gotta brush then floss before you put them back on. if you were to drink water thats fine but anything with sugar id recommend you brush before putting them back on. same goes for smoking & drinking alcohol if you do either
Very true! How has your progress been?
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!
I feel like the cons are so low that if you can’t handle this then idk what you can handle. Thanks for the info, greatly appreciate it
Thanks for watching!
I will definitely go with Invisalign the only con is the snacking, but honestly I could drop some extra pounds. Straight teeth plus skinnier for the same price, sounds like a good plan.
honestly the cons arent even cons
If you have tattoos you can definitely do this 😂🙌🏼
It’s hurts the first week BUT IT’S DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR MONEY
Perfect explained! It’s my 3rd set of tray and the only con for me is I cannot binge eat / sip beverage ..
Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing this info in such a concise way!!
Glad it was helpful!
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
Great video, thank you!
Appreciate the content that you shared....plz inform how often one need to wear retainers post Invisalign treatment.
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
I have so many attachments. I didn’t even know you could have so many
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.
Stay strong! The end result makes it all worth it! We're rooting for you!
Great video! I'm 37, and I'll be getting mine in 2 weeks. I must admit that I'm scared and excited at the same time. I'll save this video and edit my comment throughout my journey.
Super exciting! We can't wait for the updates!
How’s it going so far? Getting mines at the same age lol so I’m curious
There are total dietary restrictions-you can't drink hot beverages (will warp the plastic) or anything that will stain, with Invisalign in. No more slowly sipping coffee in the morning.
Very informative, thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Best of luck!
@@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.
I’m 30 & literally starting Wednesday
@@saraedan8768 Well, bear with the length of this and I will tell you what to expect, being a normal person and not a RUclips 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
@@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?
It's my first week in Invisalign but the dentist said I'll have this for 4 months
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😆)
This video was super helpful and informative. Thank you. I'm on my 5th tray🙃
Glad it helped!
7 months with Invisalign going so well!!
I made a good choice!
how was the first weeks?
Good luck with your smile journey!
I'm 41 been wanting my spaces to get fixed for decades. Finally getting invisoline next Thursday. 11months worth. Excited for next year.
Day 1 today! No pain, no discomfort just new beginnings.
@@YoureDoingItPeter how is it so far? I know it’s still early days for you
@@dracowolfe305 I'm on set 5 and it's been a lil to easy. You get used to having them in. I actually felt no pressure on set 1 and 3 so I actually skipped onto the next one. Which I was told not to do lol.
Eatting certain foods I'll take them out. Def takes extra cleaning but it's all worth it. I sleep fine. Also use the rubber chew toy to make sure they are always tight. 👌
@@YoureDoingItPeter Update please? Are you happy you went with Invisalign?
@@YoureDoingItPeterhey update please?
Is invisiline effective in class 3 tendency patients
Very informative!
Thank you!
I just switched from Invisalign to braces and am so glad. Invisalign was not for me. Feeling plastic in my mouth all day was so uncomfortable, my tongue had no space to be, and every time I took them off to eat or to brush my teeth my teeth felt loose and painful! The maintenance was a lot of work! Braces are less to manage and only the front part of my mouth is a bit uncomfortable, with Invisalign all of my mouth was uncomfortable!
Well it will get a lot worse with braces
And ur mouth will be more painful
@@theflippinggecko1244 For me braces are not painful, just a bit when adjusted but nothing compared to what I experienced with Invisalign, that was constant pain. I am very glad that I made the change.
@@user-mv2tg8hc8c ok
@@user-mv2tg8hc8c but moving on u might regret ur change
I've had 3 sets of retainers vivera already made after my invisalign treatement. However, my upper teeth are now straight but the shape of it is not to my liking. If i do dental bonding, will I have to buy new retainers?
Yes, any major modification to the teeth will usually result in the retainers not longer fitting and they will need to be replaced.
What would be an example of mouth shape or teeth configurations that would be better with braces?
Hey doc. Basically my two top teeth are getting to close to each other (the teeth are pushing in, something I have always have them)
My question is: my wisdom teeth have never been removed since they don’t bother me, BUT are they pushing my teeth and therefore my front teeth are pushing against each other?
I am going for my second Orthodontist appointment in Ajax, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 and I think then I will be receiving my invisalign. I will need to wear my invisalign for 18-24 months for my teeth to be straightened and for my over bites to be corrected. After my orthodontics treatment is finished I will need to have a cap put on my top back dental implant. I am looking forward to my invisalign treatment.
Good Luck with your smile journey Richard!
Update us on your journey kindly
Super prabhujiiii
What about travel for work or holidays? Can you get more sets in advance to take you through, and for how long?
Yes, most of the time your doctor will give you several months worth of aligners and will see you for periodic checks to make sure the teeth are moving properly.
@@PremierOrthodontics Great, thanks for the reply.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Wow Duchess of Cambridge
I’m going to do this next month I only have gaps but my teeth are straight 🙌🏼 I wonder how long Will I have with them 🤔
any updates? I just wanna fix my front gap but the rest seems straight enough lol..
I have 2 questions 1 is does Invisalign cost more and 2 is my 2 k9 stick up and infront of my other teeth can Invisalign fix that
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. Your doctor will be able to give you a better idea if you are a good candidate for Invisalign
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?
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.
Can invisalign treat gummy smile?
I had just got mine and it cut my tongue and it’s really uncomfortable to talk eat or drink anything
Ugh I experienced the same thing my first week, it felt like my tongue was burnt by something hot and I hated to even talk.
I saw somewhere that Invisalign really, really hurts when taking them in and out. That alone scares me from getting them. I can’t handle that much pain, especially when I am the one that am causing it.
Ive had invisalign for 2 yrs and let me tell u, its absolutely painless.
Invisalign generally is not that uncomfortable. Most patients adapt to it and feel very little pain after the first week of treatment.
@@bm246 Maybe for you it was painless
Braces hurts a lot too
When you say you can eat anything you want, do you also mean with attachments? I’m afraid to eat something and have them break
Attachments shouldn’t break off with eating most foods. You may want to avoid chewing things like ice.
@@PremierOrthodontics Perfect, thank you so much!
Is it normal that a doctor assistant do all the placement rather than an Invisalign-authorized doctor ?
Yes, most offices will delegate and have the assistants place attachments. The doctor sets up the treatment plan and decides how the teeth should move prior to the attachments being delivered.
@@PremierOrthodontics thanks for the reply
I’m so scared because I am going to get a consultation from an orthodontist and I’m really want invisiline and my dentist said I could get it but I’m worried they will say I need braces 😐
Been there. Idk whats your problem of your teeth ? But most of them told me to get braces since I have an small overbite
I am 44..hvng the problem of deep bit e and crossbite..should I find any solution with invisiline.
I have a overbite so can this straight my teeth to have a perfect bite?
Invisalign can work well for most types of overbites. Definitely check with an orthodontist to find out if it will work for you 👍
Do we need to brush our teeth every time we eat before putting on our invisalign?
You should but I don’t I just floss or use gum, I wash night and morning
Its definitely recommended to brush before placing your aligners in, but if you're not able to try to rinse really well before placing your aligners in.
Is invisalign can use if you have crowns?
Yes you can!
It's painful to take off and put back Invisalign.
I skip meals because I am scared to take it out. It's not less painful.
Agreed!!! I skip meals all the time because did it!
Does Invisalign use elastics to threat open bite? I just removed bracelets bc I didn't used elastics and my gum dangerously lowered. Can Invisalign fix my problem?
My treatment to close an open bite will involve elastics. It’s definitely something they do, but it might not be necessary for your specific needs.
@@amor2874 thanks for your answer!
I currently have lumineers, will those need to be removed before treatment?
Brackets can be bonded to porcelain veneers. With Invisalign its usually not a problem. With braces, sometimes the veneers can get damaged when the braces are removed, so there is a chance you'll need to have them redone after your treatment is 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
While Biting an apple would absolutely cause braces to come off teeth.
@@isaacogunmuko3947 you remove invisalign before you eat and replace them after
@@wanderingohm Do you think Invisalign is better than having Braces?
I agree; I have invisalign now and I would not want to bite into an apple but more because of my attachments; I don't want them to break off; and indeed, after 1 week of wearing, my lower teeth started to hurt/became sensitive, too
@@edinagaspar722 Use an apple slicer.
can braces shorter or it has to be two years fix
Depending on what your tooth and bite problems are the treatment length will vary.
Some patients treatment may only take 6 months while others may take well over 2 years
Do we need extraction or not .?
Sometimes - check out some of our other videos on our channel, we discuss when extractions may be recommended as a part of orthodontic treatment.
i just got my braces like 5 days ago &’ im still in pain , which is normal but im thinking of switching to Invisalign because i honestly can’t take the pain anymore of braces , i can’t sleep at night or anything, im crying real tears every morning and night . Do you think i can switch to Invisalign?
We usually recommend giving braces 2 weeks to see if you can adapt. Most patients find that after 2 weeks they are no longer in much discomfort and they are able to continue treatment.
I'm sure celebrities remove their Invisalign before they walk the red carpet.
No always - Just Bieber was photographed on the carpet with his Invisalign in :)
it's. so. expensive.
God, I'm scared . . . I want invisaligns ,, I really do . to ask my parents is the worst plus they work too hard in life already I just want to hide in covers and hope ? for the best
I have braces and Invisalign 💀
How much does your teeth move with each tray?
6kilometers
Nobody ever mentions eating disorders when talking about invisalign... But it's terrible for people with eating disorders....
I thought I would try Invisalign a year before I retired. It was an awful experience. I am not disciplined and I messed up. My dentist was upset at me for not being more disciplined. Now my time is up. I will lose dental coverage in a month. But I have these things on my teeth and want them removed. Invisalign did not work for me because of me. I threw $$$ down the toilet. I’m not knocking Invisalign I’m saying do your homework first. I had no idea how it worked. Not a success story.
Thanks for sharing your experience. How often did you forget to wear them to the point where it didn't work properly? Just a single day here and there or did you have to not wear for a couple of days for it to get bad?
A couple of days.
How much was the cost ? Was it payment plan ?
So you’ve learned your lesson! It’s okay:)
Is it hard to keep them on the whole day?
This varies from person to person, but just do your absolute best!
@@PremierOrthodontics and also my friends are telling me not to get them because I have a major case. I have a big overbite and a gap in my tooth and lots of other problems and still debating whether to get braces or invisalain. Me and my mom are stuck 🤷♀️
You missed dry lips. Sore gums and biting cheeks.
Can Invisalign work with serve crowding
Yes, Invisalign can fix nearly any tooth and bite problem 👍
My doctor said your case can't be treated with Invisalign and it must be treated. I don't have any option other than braces. I don't want to wear that
I hate to sound harsh, but I think you should just do it if it “must be treated”. You’ll thank yourself later.
Just own it. No one wants to wear glasses at first but they almost become part of you after awhile, and braces aren't forever
I didn’t qualify for invisilign but my Ortho said he can’t refuse me if I wanted it, but the outcome won’t be the best smile, I got 2 other opinions, same solution offered. I said ok and I’m 5months into metal braces
It is very discomforting at first, I wanted to cry after the 1st two adjustments. Sensitivity to cold drinks as well, but now I’m good. A few days after adjustments your pain tolerance increases and the jaw becomes less sensitive- less pain but you still get the some discomfort. I take some pain killers and I’m ok.
I’m seeing so much improvement in a few months of treatment. It’s worth it don’t worry.
I eat almost everythg
Pizza crust
Chicken
Snacks
Chips and I bite sometimes with my front teeth😂
I only snapped one bracket when I 1st got them. Life is good, I’m seeing the change , best decision ever
Are they painfull??
I just got my Invisalign and it's honestly not bad. I hurts for the first couple of days when you change your trays but after that it's fine!
Invisalign is pretty easy - slight discomfort at first, but overall they are much easier to get used to than braces 👍
Yes sometimes u don’t feel like u have it on but it hurts very bad putting your trays back in from eating or putting new ones
Sometimes I’m on tray 8/45 and I have pain in certain teeth from time to time
Thanks alot I got mine...these are my first set
God bless you. Jesus loves y’all amen
This item is a bad investment. It may look good, however, it can destroy the teeth and when it has to be removed by a surgeon that will be a big bill. Not worth it.
How was the aligners destroy the teeth
Looks like you did not mention that aligners are not for complex cases and Braces can deal with all type of cases.
Sorry but looks like you are hiding a bit of important information and trying to misguided and sell aligners. It's easy money right..!!
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. Hope you enjoy our videos and find them helpful.
Looks like you’re wearing invisaligns in this video.
Probably a retainer, I think he said he just had Invisalign last year so he'll be diligent about wearing those retainers so all that work isn't undone
im 94 pounds lol
Invisalign is like having a razor in your mouth, they cause insicions and sores. Many rough edges , specially if u are using elastics, they put sharp hooks on 2 teeth. its disgusting! they sell it like a walk in the park, buit its a pain! big pain! Plus they charge mroe than 6k for this garbage, when the cost is 500 dollars
