- I will explain why Braces are better than Invisalign.
I'll outline for you why Braces may be the better choice for you than Invisalign.
1. It's faster to get started
2. You can choose colors
3. We are all wearing masks right now, so you can't really see braces
4. Braces are less work than Invisalign for you
5. Braces can treat nearly any case, whereas Invisalign is more limited.

Ok doctor, you convinced me! Booked myself an appointment! 😬🙂 thank you for the info (from Qc Canada)
I have Invisalign and for me taking the liners throughout the day is not a big deal. I also don’t take my liners out 8 times a day. I only take them out 3 times (breakfast, lunch, and supper) and I can also eat any foods I want, while braces limit some of the food you can have. When I got my Invisalign, I only needed to have my teeth scanned once, and after 4 weeks I got all of my liners for my treatment. Invisalign is very convenient for me because I only have to see my orthodontist every 8-12 weeks. if you need to have major adjustments with your teeth then braces is the way to go, but if you only have small issues with your teeth and want no one to know that your straightening your teeth then Invisalign is the way to go. My Invisalign treatment is going to be going on after covid is done, so I’m very glad I got Invisalign and not braces.
Very true. Good summary!
@@ThriveDentist thanks for replying!
This! I only take mine out twice a day, because I only eat twice a day. However, I also work from home, which makes it easy.
I usually go 8 or more weeks between ortho visits with a full mouth of braces
This is actually a big problem for me. I'm someone who is outside a lot because of my job, so I can't brush and floss everywhere, or clean the aligners, also I don't really have the time to do that at work. But I also grind my teeth at night, so something like invisalign could act as a nightguard. What would you do if a patient chooses braces and is also grinding his teeth at night?
I went for a consult and got braces the same day. My teeth look amazing now!
Can you get braces the same day??
Yep You’re right! They look good. I got Invisalign. I’m happy with my teeth
Not from a proper orthodontist, impossible. Initial consultation, examination, discussion, photographs. Then a full consultation, x-rays, a scan of your teeth, planning stage, what the final result will roughly be etc. Then the fitting......
I personally chose Invisalign. Because I feel like me with braces doesn’t look well also if u are considering invisalign u should get it bc it’s actually not hard. I clean my Invisalign 2 times a day, if u are responsible enough ur teeth will shift fast. Braces was 2 and a half years for me while invisalign was 1 year. My trays did take 3 weeks to come but that’s not too long be patient. because u get like 12 trays in one box. so i always check the last tray to see how my teeth would look at the 12th week.
Me too!!! Totally agree with you. I got Invisalign instead of braces for the same reasons.
Moving teeth is very serious thing. Nobody should do it unless it becomes a health issue. It carry serious consequences if poorly planned or done. It is quite worrysome people sell it as a way to have a beautiful smile or that it has cool colours. As I said the main consideration should be a better functionality and quality of life. Be mindful of all the possible side effects when they make you sign the "informed consent" It doesn't matter if it is Invisalign or traditional braces. Stay healthy and do it for the right reasons. Indeed this has helped people who really need it
This was super helpful! I have had Invisiline for 2 weeks and I can’t handle the feeling of my teeth being covered in plastic and the pain I constantly feel when I eat because my teeth feel lose and sensitive. I decided to switch to braces!
How did that switch go??
When you take out the Invisalign because you want to eat food....Before you put back on the Invisalign, are you required to only brush your teeth first, or do you have to brush AND floss your teeth first?
Thank you Rob McElhenny
That's actually one of the biggest reasons I got braces, they're easier and nobody knows I have them behind my mask...now I'm only hoping wearing masks continues to stay normal for awhile haha. And congrats on opening two more dental offices!
Thank you!
I don’t want braces
1. Idc if ppl see my Invisalign
2. It hurts when you have to tighten your braces
3.You can’t eat certain foods
That's a good point 😆😆😆
"now I'm only hoping wearing masks continues to stay normal for awhile haha" I hope that you weren't serious. Seriously, selfish much? So many people suffer from having to wear in so many ways because of these masks and you want to keep them around so no one will see your braces. Well, thanks. Nobody even cares about your braces. I'd rather everyone see me wearing the most hideous braces known to man (like the old style full bands) than wear a mask just one more day.
@@KaiChristian128since when Invisalign no pain at all ?
Hi Dr. Nate. I asked my dentist about braces. He's recommending to remove 4 premolars to make space (I haven't gone for a 2nd opinion yet). Is it necessary to get the premolars removed? I'll try to go for a 2nd opinion in your Sachse location in the near future. Thanks!
Sometimes we need to remove 4 premolars if you are very crowded so it does happen sometimes.
Yes...I have invisalign and it is alot of work!
Problem- when braces taken off. Im an adult. I had to wait over six weeks to get get a retainer, due to THEIR schedule, even if the retainers ready in days. No compromise because of all the all the kiddies and the beleaguered front desk, and / orthodontist jumping from location to location. So it follows, that my teeth moved major while waiting for retainer., I know, because I began biting over the coming days wishin my mouth, and easy to see Changes,,
Comment doc?
Really, Invisalign didn’t work for me, but the frustration of having my teeth be “free Willy” for up to two months after brace removal, with obvious movement , without retainer, due to the doctors and all the children patients was VERY very very upsetting.
Your advice is welcome.
Ps- This happened again when I lost my retainer, and their scheduler was even MORE packed, would NOT make any accommodations. Ergo, I was nearly back to square one , cosmetic wise.
Id like to find a responsive ream, who could treat me in a timely manner when require, BTW, I’m well aware of how quickly labs make retainers and break the molds unnecessarily. ( I have a dentist brother in law), this tradition is a built in money maker if you lose the retainer and you NEVER Get the same shape back.y, l
I live in Florida. Is there any business you can refer to for Timely adult attention or give other advice. I really want my smile back!
Thank you, and please be aware that the big names are teenage, can’t accommodate any issue, machines. Much obliged for any word..
After watching your videos, I would totally prefer braces over Invisalign for the reasons you said, but my orthodontist has said Invisalign would be better for me only because I have a baby pre molar still (I’m almost 19) and it is less likely to fall out with Invisalign than with traditional braces - would you agree? Love your videos, thank you!
Everyone views things differently but I work on patients with baby teeth all the time we just don't put braces on those teeth. That being said every case is different.
In my research, Invisalign is more gentle on your teeth, and when older (I’m mid 40s), that’s more important. There’s also evidence that Invisalign causes less bone loss than braces.
I also wanted to be able to take them off so I could easily thoroughly clean my teeth & gums.
I do wish I could eat whenever when out, but I work from home, so I’m home most of the time, which is making Invisalign super easy for me. I’d love braces, but I chose Invisalign for the better health of my teeth.
Thanks!!😁
Is it a bad idea to get Invisalign through your dentist? My dentist quoted me $4700 for them 28 trays said a year to a year and a half treatment. He also said things that made it seem like he wasn't sure what the result would be. Please let me know if I should go to a orthodontist??
yes you should.
To be honest I used to take off my trays every time I drink but I stopped. I only take them off when I’m eating then brush after 😩
I have aligners but now I really want braces. The aligners are too tight. Made my gums swell up, gave me a headache and some didn’t fit. Plus, I don’t see any change. Now I want to see if I can get a payment plan for braces.
I have Invisalign and don’t have rubber bands. I think rubber bands with Invisalign are only for people with bite/jaw issues?
I also I just take my aligners out twice a day! I work from home, so it’s been super easy.
i’m going to get invisalign like in a few weeks and i need bands on my left side bc it’s a little bit overcrowded, not jaw issues
@@d.iyyyaa
Oh interesting!! Thank you for sharing this. I have some mild crowding and don’t need them, but I do have attachments on several teeth. I’m on my third week now and finding this so easy.
I’m excited for you to get started!!!
I highly recommend a Sonic cleaner. My aligners have stayed so clean using it five minutes twice a day while I eat. I use M3 Retainer Cleaner tablets (every once in a while). I brush them with bar soap.
I have misalignment and Tmj issues. Braces work for that? Great info!
Even worth perfectly straight teeth you may still have TMJ issues unfortunately.
I have TMJ and Invisalign is not fixing my overbite. but my parents can't afford to switch to braces.
Hi Lily please reach out if you can. I have TMD too, with huge overbite.. I've been contemplating over Invisalign or braces for 1.5 years now. I'd love to how your situation is now, if still using the Invisalign. Thanks
But why do the teeth shift back if you don't wear a retainer after? How does this happen?
Elastic fibers in our teeth want to go back to where they were before braces.
Dr Rob, do braces give better results then Invisalign (because there more tried and tested and just a better technology for the job)?
I wish this question was answered. This is what I’m struggling with
My biggest regret : not taking the advantage of the lockdown / pandemic , as of now in 2023 my treatment is still going on...
Invisalign is embarrassing. Why should I pay more to get something worse?
I effing hate eating with braces and this has been the biggest reason I'm considering to switching to invisalign. Is this a bad idea? You seem to think badly about invisalign.
I want to put on braces but thinking about my gums
You can eat with your Invisalign aligners in!! Invisalign is awesome for simpler cases. I think it's better for adults who are looking for a more esthetic option compared to braces, and who are of course compliant with aligner wear. But for younger patients, Invisalign might not be the best option
Eat with them in? Somehow I doubt it unless it’s like vanilla pudding 😂or your sipping on a smoothie or milkshake but actual food unfortunately no
@@socialmediag5485 you can lol my patients would do it all the time
2:20 Well, when I first had my consult with my orthodontist, I couldn’t get my braces the same day because my insurance wanted to look at the X-RAYS and pictures, to determine if they should pay for my treatment or not since my teeth are crowded as hell 😂😂😂, my insurance ended up paying for it because of that
Oh my gosh I live in Sachse what is this right next to thrive oh my gosh that’s so cool
Very cool!!!
Which one do you prefer if someone grinds a lot?
Probably Invisalign.
@@ThriveDentist Thankyou .!!
Cheaper also !!
Can invisalign fix overjet?
Yup if it's not too severe.
At my consult my ortho said that the final result from braces can be more precise than with clear aligners. Is that typical?
I think in most cases that's correct.
How long will you need braces for a normal underbite?? Not too minor Or Not too severe. Just a normal one.
Tough to know. I would get a consult.
Is treatment with braces faster than invisalign?
Most of the time braces is shorter.
@@ThriveDentist thank you!
I just watched another video that says Invisalign is faster. 🤪
You have two different videos. One states why Invisalign is better, this one says braces are better 🥴🥴🥴 should’ve just made one video listing the comparisons.
I only take off my Invisalign to eat twice a day bc I only drink water
Great job!
Invisalign for me
Hello Dr. Nathan..it's a student of undergraduate dentistry from India. May I know the monthly income of an orthodontist at your location?
There are websites you can check the average salary of nearly any job in any location.
I’d use those as a resource.
I think some are Indeed and Glassdoor, but you can Google it.
This is the definition of propaganda. Most orthodontists tell u only eat three times a day. Too many bots in these comments.
Yup, i wonder how it feels to have so many metal wire, rubber attached on your teeth feel on your cheeks. With aligners, if any sharp edges bother you, you can take care of it yourself. Aligners will always be more comfortable than braces.
8 times a day 😳
I only take mine out twice a day!
You only said one medical reason. The rest are all superficial and just your opinion. Maybe you want people to get braces because it is much cheaper for you to put a wire and adjust it every few months, so you can make much more money. I have had both, and will definitely go with invisalign
Correction- "we" are NOT wearing masks and "everyone" is NOT wearing masks and definitely NOT "all the time". Myself, kids, and about 200 ppl I know do not comply to mask wearing and we are the healthiest bunch.
Congratulations on putting lives at risk
