For everybody who does use the whitening toothpaste like me, DONT WORRY, even though you have braces and it makes your teeth whiter, leaving square marks, in one month you’re going to get your cleaning or whitening or whatever you wanna call it and then that will even out the color. However, if you don’t want to have the marks for a whole month then I do suggest using like the toothpaste that she uses. PS: love your vids Emma ❤️❤️ Edit: I also use a mouth wash with pain relief (it’s by orajel), it is honestly a life saver after getting your teeth tightened 🦷🦷
I am 56 and got braces August 2. At first I got silver rubber bands because I didn't want my braces noticed. But, guess what, they get noticed anyway. So I just got by rubber bands changed and got LILAC.
Bellacorra1 sometimes you can’t get Invisalign, based on the state of your teeth. i would’ve much preferred Invisalign but my ortho told me it just wasn’t possible, so now I’m stuck with normal ones
Nancy Cate in my opinion I feel like you shouldn’t be getting braces at your age because it’s already kinda old and in a few years your teeth are going to fall out and it won’t matter anymore but if you want them that’s totally fine do whatever makes you happy:)
RUBBER BAND CHOICE TIPS: A light pink has personally ALWAYS flattered me simply becuase it's the same color as my lips and looks nice. If you're ever in doubt, GO PINK no matter gender. It doesn't even stand out or look as if you have those bands, so you won't have to worry or stress about it making your teeth look bad.
quick tip: this is true for people that have just regular lingual braces i have a power chain and i have light pink right now and it makes my teeth look so yellow so light pink i definitely recommend for regular lingual braces but for a power chain...nooo.
Just a tip: My dentist told me not to use mouthwash after brushing your teeth because it's just taking away all that protection from your toothpaste, so rinse with mouthwash after lunch.
i’m so paranoid that i’m gonna get them off and have white squares, i’m getting them off soon as well. like it would be so awkward getting them off and then checking to see little squares ahhahaha.
@@sherylpriya1254 ,what do you mean? Are you the same person with different accounts? But if you can answer my question, I'll be glad to read your answer 🙂 because I still haven't received the answer
@@sz7595 No, I'm not the same person LOL. I've never heard of people who use gold brackets for their braces and wouldn't it be expensive to do so? I have the same question as you!
Hi Emma, Please mention in your next braces video NOT TO use plaque disclosing tablets when you have clear braces or clear bands 😰 I have made that mistake and it took me literally 1,5 hours to get rid of the pink colour on my brackets, and i still had a pink tint on my bands for the next three days :(
natalie basically these tablets that you put in your mouth before and after brushing and you chew and slosh it around your mouth then spit it out and if there is pink that is where the plaque is. Good for average brushing but bad for brushing with braces.
*stephanie* I ALWAYS get light blue and I think it makes my teeth look whiter and brackets smaller bc it blends in more with my tooth I think I just depends on your teeth tho
I’ve had braces for quite a while now. I’m sure the outcome will be worth it, I want to say it doesn’t hurt but it really does. When you get them on it doesn’t hurt at all and for a few hours it doesn’t it just feels weird, but for about a week all you can eat is like soup
I also recommend oil pulling with coconut oil, it's great for getting food out of my braces and hard to reach places. And it's great for your gums which is essential for braces and oral health
Jazzy___ Wazzy honestly as long as you stay away from tumeric or things like mac and cheese, cup of noodles, and top ramen you won’t stain the clear bands
lmaoo my ortho does a 3 strike bracket rule to where u can break up to 3 brackets and the fix it for free buh after that its $50 per bracket to fix and i just broke my 4th one in the back😂💀
So strange.. I have had braces for 4 weeks today and I have clear bands on my clear ceramic top braces. Mine haven’t stained at all! They just look the same as they did from day 1. I try my best to not eat staining foods often but I have eaten curry before with them and they didn’t stain! So surprising huh?
I have ceramic on top as well. (Since april 2017) I eat curry dishes like 2 times a week & no stains! Lol surprisingly.. i mean they tell you what you shouldnt eat and i never listen lol but so far, so good ☺
ClassicMPM yes! I have them on now and I’ve eaten so much and no stains! I mean knock on wood but I think it just depends on the intensity of the food colors or the time it takes me to brush my teeth after I eat
You can still drink coffee and tea, just use a straw. It looks weird in public but I don't care. I know people who drink red wine from wine glasses with straws as well.
Ever since I was young, whenever I went to the dentist to ask to get my teeth permenantly whiter, they tell me I have naturally slightly yellow teeth, so the best thing for me is to whiten my teeth
5:43 Don't use mouthwash straight after brushing your teeth it will get rid of all the fluoride and other elements that are in toothpaste. I would reccomend after lunch.
But.. My orthodontist said to have mouthwash right after brushing my teeth, however my regular dentist you should have mouthwash 1 hour after brushing your teeth. Who am I supposed to listen to? 😪😴
I got mine last week and was worried too but honestly they were fine! I was sore for a couple days but wasnt excruciating and nothing ibuprofen couldn't sort out.
I got light blue and lavender and my teeth look SOOO much cleaner. I also feel that your braces take the attention from your teeth “discoloration” and most wont even notice if your teeth aren’t super white!
YA’LL NEED TO KNOW THIS: When flossing, I don’t use string floss. I use little picks from GUM that are silicone. They don’t stab your gums and it is so much easier because you don’t need to pull the floss behind your wires first. They are called SoftPicks I believe. Check them out. People. You need these.
Timyra Jenkins I believe they are called ProxaBrushes but there are some that look like christmas trees that your Ortho should supply you with. If not, many places sell them, even online. I suggest getting an electric toothbrush and using a fluoride mouthwash that you use twice a day. I think she mentioned that but honestly it reallllly helps with just about everything
Timyra Jenkins Same here!! I had a gap in my front teeth and a few teeth that had twisted a little, and now I have perfectly straight teeth within only four months. If ya wanna know anything at all lemme know 😁
Timyra Jenkins Yeah, they do! For me, it hurt a lot when I ate. When you get them tightened, they hurt too. However, they don’t hurt that bad after a few days. I would take some pain killers before you get them on, and rinse your mouth with saltwater before getting them on to help with pain. The pain doesn’t last longer than a few days normally. Drink smoothies, eat pudding and jello, soft foods, etc. Make sure to stay hydrated when you get them on, because drinking fluids causes a little pain sometimes. Using straws can help. Also, when you get them on, your lips will feel bigger than normal and that’s normal. Talking is interesting for sure! lol. If you get a power chain (you might not until a tightening later on), be ready for a little added pressure. I have loads more advice if ya need it!
soo i have a bubblegum pink power chain DO NOT GET A BUBBLEGUM PINK POWER CHAIN, regular bands look fine with pink but if you have a power chain pink is a color you definitely need to avoid if you want white teeth!! The color that i recommend would be black for a power chain or a dark purple, because it will make the whiteness of your teeth pop more...hope that helped!
When I first got my braces I got yellow and it actually looked rlly good! They made my teeth look whiter, I think my teeth have gotten a little yellower than before I had braces, but I don't mind. As long as my teeth are healthy, it doesn't matter the color I have.
I can so relate to the mouth wash like I rarely used it before braces but now I'm constantly using it (I also use that little scrubber thing and I'm pretty sure I said to my self the exact same words you said calling them "a life saver")
“And no I’m not claiming to have the whitest teeth ever because I definitely don’t” Girl,You make my teeth look brown andddd your teeth are literally gorgeous
U can also white your teeth with braces all u need is a slices of 🍋 and baking soda get a little jar and put your baking soda in it then squeeze ur lemon then get the mixture and put it on the slices of lemon and put it on ur teeth it's not a great taste but then take it of and compare it teeth they should be whiter remember to brush ur teeth twice a day max to maintain the whiteness I recommend doing this again every fortnight or once a month .
Tip: if you don't want to carry around a huge pack of straws buy a re-usable one! and also, if you're going to sleepovers often, go to the store and buy the travel size stuff and just put all of it in a tiny bag that you can grab on the go!
Bruh, I tried clear although Emma said I shouldn't. Then I regretted it because I could see small pieces of food stuck behind the ligature (rubber band) when I forget to brush my teeth. Good thing tho is that I have to change bands every 3 weeks so I didnt suffer for too long.
I'm going to take off my braces today in two hours after having them for 3 years but I'm kind of annoyed I only found your video now... Still, you give great advice so thanks for that!
I have electric toothbrush too but I stopped using it when I got my braces, 4 days ago because I thought I should use the toothbrush that my dentist gave to me. It is just okay to use electric brush? P.S. love you emma! Since I got braces, I watch all of your vidss
my bands are clear and the never got horribly stained while when my friend tried the with an other orthodontist the stained craaazy and they looked green ,so you mite want to try clear cause it dose not stain for every one and it looks amaaazing!!!
Got my braces 5 days ago and I’ve been binge watching her videos on her channel. Just bought my power toothbrush yesterday and will buy piksters brush later. So sad that I had CLEAR lingature elastics I thought it blends with the bracket didn’t know it would eventually stain.
I got mine on yesterday and I cant eat anything cause I have a bite plate for the top of my mouth and it makes me not be able to bite down near the molars and im so mad. I've only been eating yogurt, applesauce, jello, peaches (in the cup), and smoothies. I tried having alphabet soup lol but it was to hard to chew still. Today my teeth hurt so bad they HURTTT.
@@jabxril5849 no! Nothing hurts my teeth are great except it feels so wjerd without my biteplate in bc my wisdom teeth are really grown now and its something ill have to adjust to in the future. But its been about a month since I got the braces on, at first it hurt so bad loll but now its nothing. I only ate applesauce, peache cups, and yogurt for 3 days straight then I found out I could eat with the bite plate but it was so hard at first lol.
Emma: I've had this for five or six years Me: wait what you're supposed to change you're toothbrush out every three months. Me: cursing myself out because I realized you can change an electric toothbrush head: 0_0
Not sure if you've found out by now, but in your vid, you weren't sure what the bands are called that hold the wire to the brackets. They're called ties. 🙂 And congrats on getting your braces off soon! It's gonna feel so weird at first (a good weird); I remember I kept sliding my tongue around my teeth because they felt so slick. It feels like having a Slip n Slide inside your mouth. 😂 lol
PS. Oh, on the part about straws, you might want to switch to reusable glass or metal straws. The disposables just add more to landfills and pollutes the ocean. When you threw the bag of straws in the air, I wanted to jump through my screen (lol), catch them, and yell, "Noooooooooooooo!" There's a vid here on UA-cam somewhere that goes into detail about the effects disposable straws have on the earth, and it shows a couple people helping a sea turtle to remove a plastic straw from it's nose/nostril. It had been up there for so long that it started crumbling apart, chipping away, and the turtle's tissue had grown around it a little, so it also bled a tad bit as they tried dislodging it. They managed to get it completely out though and released the turtle back to sea. Since I saw that vid and read more info about it, I've been using reusable glass straws ever since. If you decide to get some too, make sure you get a set that comes with a straw cleaning brush. 🙂
So I’m getting clear braces on Wednesday, you said they will stain really easily and don’t look good. I was excited but now I’m getting self conscious about it.
Chloe Whitney when I saw this video I was so happy that lilac and light blue was the first two colors and those are the 2 I chose I just got braces and they hurt so bad so good luck
I would just like to add that I love using a manual tooth brush because it’s brissles are more flexible than an electric one so I feel like my brush gets into more crevices in my teeth ~ just my personal opinion xox 😘
Well I'm screwed then because I literally drink tea every day and have had my braces for a year😭 I don't want squares on my teeth when I get them off, I wish I had've known before I got them ahhh help

Drink smoothies, eat pudding and jello, soft foods, etc. Make sure to stay hydrated when you get them on, because drinking fluids causes a little pain sometimes. Using straws can help. Also, when you get them on, your lips will feel bigger than normal and that’s normal. Talking is interesting for sure! lol. If you get a power chain (you might not until a tightening later on), be ready for a little added pressure. I have loads more advice if ya need it!
You were so right about the complimenting colors! I had gold before and got a light blue today & girllll my teeth are popping! 😍
soo i have a bubblegum pink power chain DO NOT GET A BUBBLEGUM PINK POWER CHAIN, regular bands look fine with pink but if you have a power chain pink is a color you definitely need to avoid if you want white teeth!! The color that i recommend would be black for a power chain or a dark purple, because it will make the whiteness of your teeth pop more...hope that helped!
When I first got my braces I got yellow and it actually looked rlly good! They made my teeth look whiter, I think my teeth have gotten a little yellower than before I had braces, but I don't mind. As long as my teeth are healthy, it doesn't matter the color I have.
Does grey braces make your teeth look whiter? And does it stain?
I can so relate to the mouth wash like I rarely used it before braces but now I'm constantly using it (I also use that little scrubber thing and I'm pretty sure I said to my self the exact same words you said calling them "a life saver")
“And no I’m not claiming to have the whitest teeth ever because I definitely don’t”
Girl,You make my teeth look brown andddd your teeth are literally gorgeous
I’m glad I’ve only chosen blue colors, black and pink so far
U can also white your teeth with braces all u need is a slices of 🍋 and baking soda get a little jar and put your baking soda in it then squeeze ur lemon then get the mixture and put it on the slices of lemon and put it on ur teeth it's not a great taste but then take it of and compare it teeth they should be whiter remember to brush ur teeth twice a day max to maintain the whiteness I recommend doing this again every fortnight or once a month .
I keep on getting smile direct club adds when watching these vídeos
“my teeth aren’t that white”
me: legit brighter than my future 💀
"Avoid coffee"
Me, who is addicted to coffee: 👁👄👁
Tip: if you don't want to carry around a huge pack of straws buy a re-usable one!
and also, if you're going to sleepovers often, go to the store and buy the travel size stuff and just put all of it in a tiny bag that you can grab on the go!
OMG I NEEEEEEED DISSSSS! I’m getting my braces tomorrow at 5:00 AM before school and I need HELLPPPP
plz do a what’s on my iphone vid
Angel Marie that's a great idea
Me watching this video suddenly feeling a strong urge to brish my teeth.
Fr!
I just brushed mine and now I want to di them again 😩
Bruh, I tried clear although Emma said I shouldn't. Then I regretted it because I could see small pieces of food stuck behind the ligature (rubber band) when I forget to brush my teeth. Good thing tho is that I have to change bands every 3 weeks so I didnt suffer for too long.
@Emma Louise I got braces on December 16, 2019. Watching your videos has really been beneficial.
How do they feel? I got mine on August 28th 2019. Goodluck for your first tightening when you get it 😀
TheGirlThatVlogs They took some getting used to but they are ok. I get the bottom later on in my treatment. I have Damon braces as well.
you make my teeth look bright yellow! 😭😭😭😭🤚🤚🤚🤚
I have green ones, is that bad??
edit: hey its been 2 years and i have them off! :)
Oliver Doggy haha I have purple now! I’ve had them for 3 months, hbu?
Oliver Doggy oh wow! Have you seen progress?
Oliver Doggy really! That’s cool to here, I’m happy everything’s going Good!
Oliver Doggy aaaaah, I have bottom and top! Goodluck though
Oliver Doggy no problem! It’s not that bad..
I'm going to take off my braces today in two hours after having them for 3 years but I'm kind of annoyed I only found your video now... Still, you give great advice so thanks for that!
I have electric toothbrush too but I stopped using it when I got my braces, 4 days ago because I thought I should use the toothbrush that my dentist gave to me. It is just okay to use electric brush?
P.S. love you emma! Since I got braces, I watch all of your vidss
You can just use your electric toothbrush, usally the tooth brush from the dentist is for on the go
Yesss that's totally fine! Just make sure when your using your electric tooth brush that your not pressing really hard on your teeth :)
Emma Louise the dentist gave me a electric toothbrush when I got my braces lol
by Regine They gave me like a whole (basically) survival kit 😂
by Regine my orthodontist gave me an electric toothbrush so I would say yes its ok to use electric toothbrush with braces
Pink and black... those were the colors I was going to get anyways sense they're my favorite colors!
Neon green and neon pink look so bright and pretty I’ve had them multiple times :)
I just got elastics and rubber bands for my overbite 😣😥
I have to have twin blocks /functional brace for my over bite
I will probably recommend metal straw
Save mother nature
“my teeth don’t look that white”
HAVE You SEEN ME
I’ve only gotten purple, blue, & pink! they really do make your teeth look whiter.
my bands are clear and the never got horribly stained while when my friend tried the with an other orthodontist the stained craaazy and they looked green ,so you mite want to try clear cause it dose not stain for every one and it looks amaaazing!!!
Got my braces 5 days ago and I’ve been binge watching her videos on her channel. Just bought my power toothbrush yesterday and will buy piksters brush later. So sad that I had CLEAR lingature elastics I thought it blends with the bracket didn’t know it would eventually stain.
Your elastics!!!
Just got back from the orthodontists so my braces are new and PAINFUL 😂
Same here girl,same here
Sad
I got mine on yesterday and I cant eat anything cause I have a bite plate for the top of my mouth and it makes me not be able to bite down near the molars and im so mad. I've only been eating yogurt, applesauce, jello, peaches (in the cup), and smoothies. I tried having alphabet soup lol but it was to hard to chew still. Today my teeth hurt so bad they HURTTT.
@@jabxril5849 no! Nothing hurts my teeth are great except it feels so wjerd without my biteplate in bc my wisdom teeth are really grown now and its something ill have to adjust to in the future. But its been about a month since I got the braces on, at first it hurt so bad loll but now its nothing. I only ate applesauce, peache cups, and yogurt for 3 days straight then I found out I could eat with the bite plate but it was so hard at first lol.
Cool, I am getting braces, thanks for sharing.
Shes like the nicest person ever
Emma: I've had this for five or six years
Me: wait what you're supposed to change you're toothbrush out every three months.
Me: cursing myself out because I realized you can change an electric toothbrush head: 0_0
awkward cheese every 3months?😂 boi u need to change it at least every month
It’s actually every 6 months
@@queenknationvlogs3667 I've heard different things from different dentist, but the one i heard the most was three months
Not sure if you've found out by now, but in your vid, you weren't sure what the bands are called that hold the wire to the brackets. They're called ties. 🙂 And congrats on getting your braces off soon! It's gonna feel so weird at first (a good weird); I remember I kept sliding my tongue around my teeth because they felt so slick. It feels like having a Slip n Slide inside your mouth. 😂 lol
PS. Oh, on the part about straws, you might want to switch to reusable glass or metal straws. The disposables just add more to landfills and pollutes the ocean. When you threw the bag of straws in the air, I wanted to jump through my screen (lol), catch them, and yell, "Noooooooooooooo!" There's a vid here on UA-cam somewhere that goes into detail about the effects disposable straws have on the earth, and it shows a couple people helping a sea turtle to remove a plastic straw from it's nose/nostril. It had been up there for so long that it started crumbling apart, chipping away, and the turtle's tissue had grown around it a little, so it also bled a tad bit as they tried dislodging it. They managed to get it completely out though and released the turtle back to sea. Since I saw that vid and read more info about it, I've been using reusable glass straws ever since. If you decide to get some too, make sure you get a set that comes with a straw cleaning brush. 🙂
I did not expect it to me harder to maintain white teeth with braces
These braces videos are really helping since I got braces recently
Day 2 of my braces journey and am loving it
So I’m getting clear braces on Wednesday, you said they will stain really easily and don’t look good. I was excited but now I’m getting self conscious about it.
Chloe Whitney when I saw this video I was so happy that lilac and light blue was the first two colors and those are the 2 I chose I just got braces and they hurt so bad so good luck
Adriana's Future thanks girl!
is anyone one else binge watching these braces videos before they get them lol
"Don't get white; the contrast is bad"
"Brown: Don't get brown"

I would just like to add that I love using a manual tooth brush because it’s brissles are more flexible than an electric one so I feel like my brush gets into more crevices in my teeth ~ just my personal opinion xox 😘
your eyes are so pretty omg!!! the match your braces so well!!
got so excited to get your notification !! love love x
Well I'm screwed then because I literally drink tea every day and have had my braces for a year😭 I don't want squares on my teeth when I get them off, I wish I had've known before I got them ahhh help
Wait... She said her teeth got less white after she got braces.. Ummm how white are they without braces
definitely going for blue braces, I'm so excited to get mine on.
This helped me so good! I’m getting braces next week and I’m actually ready
