Brehs and brehettes, whats good with Invisalign?

[Michael's Black Son]

Soooooooooo......after six months of wisdom teeth being pulled and a bunch of visits to the dentist for treatment on my gums, I finally went to the orthodontist to talk braces. Dude is and official orthodontist here in NY and was recommended by my dentist and said that he steers his adult patients toward Invisalign while the kids get the metal braces

Now, he did a good sell job on the benefits of Invisalign but I wanna hear from any of yall who had it before or have it now.......what can I expect other than paying an arm/leg for these shyts? All I remember is him telling me ima have to wear them for like 21-22 hrs a day.

I think we talked about getting our wisdom teeth pulled

Mine were pulled in December in preparation of braces. I'm 26, was told when I was like 17 to get them pulled and get braces.

Been doing Invisalign for almost 4 weeks.

Yeah, get used to wearing them 22 hours a day, brushing your teeth 4-5 times a day.

I've been fukking up the past few days though, had them out for like 6+ hours at a time going out this past weekend because I wasn't gonna be in a position where I can slip out and brush my teeth or because I knew I was gonna be drinking for hours. Saturday had them shyts out from 6PM - 530AM

You get used to the routine. Keep a foldable toothbrush with me at all times

Have an extra toothbrush at work to clean my braces after I eat. They'll give you a tray holder than can fit in your pocket.

Had a bad lisp when I first got them, it's close to gone now.

my sister has em. Gives a shiny look to the teeth like theres a film on em. Unless you're totally oblivious youd kind of know they have something in. Plus youll talk with a lisp until youre used to them,

and like breh said you brush/floss to put em on and you have to. So prepare to brush/flosh before you leave a restaurant, brush at work and also a certain amount of hours you have to have em in. So get ready to toss random snacks or thinking you can just get a swig of some juice in the bushes cause them joints goin hold your teeth hostage


and depending on what is the actual issue with your teeth they might end up attaching these little nublins to your teeth like so:

IMO more trouble than its worth, have you asked about the braces behind the teeth? Thats a new trend too.

Or you can go the lazy way and get veneers. They always look a bit unnatural though howd i'd see people with veneers hold their mouth

Just get braces if you can, invisalign has a damn near 80% failure rate. The clear ceramic braces are barely noticeable

Looking to get those DWade braces next summer.

Bottom teeth only and getting 4 veneers to the top for a near perfect smile

I had braces for about 18 months and now Im rocking an invisalign retainer. Braces are a good investment and depending how bad your teeth are you wont wear them for long.

I'm gonna ask more questions when I got back there in a couple of weeks because I had to do molds of my teeth, X-rays and have him look at my mouth on monday. Seems like ALOT of work and upkeep on these things but if they work, I will consider it. I'm also gonna ask about the ones that go behind the teeth and just see what all of my options are. He made sense in saying that adults dont want the visible metal on the front of their teeth because he has Hollywood actors and shyt who are in front of the camera on the regular. At this point I cant turn back with this stuff because I've already had my wisdom teeth pulled and done alot of treatment on my gums in preparation of braces.

DWade got that HGH jaw so there's a reason why he rocks them braces so that his mouth doesn't go out of control

Braces were a BIG deal especially in track and field back in the 70s/80s for athletes that were suspected of doping. The juice, aside from helping you get stronger, will fukk up your jaw alignment and teeth. The braces keep things in order to a degree

I think it would be better to just get regular braces. They're not that bad.

I've never been a snacker so that's not a problem for me.

But there are times when I'm watching a game and would like to just grab a beer I go How long is it gonna take me to finish this? Am I just gonna nurse this one and if so for how long? Do I really want to have to brush my teeth and shyt just for one beer

I forgot about the attachments as well. I got 19 of them shyts, I know someone that only has 12.

And when I first got them in, there was that feeling of "You can see that I have these trays on" but that feeling goes away after a while when you get comfortable and some didn't even realize that I had them on until I told them.

The lisp though, I do remember talking to a coworker a few days after getting them and the lisp was pretty strong and he gave said "Why are you talking like that But that's pretty much gone now and still improving.

I'm gonna ask more questions when I got back there in a couple of weeks because I had to do molds of my teeth, X-rays and have him look at my mouth on monday. Seems like ALOT of work and upkeep on these things but if they work, I will consider it.

It's a lot of upkeep at first, but not that bad when you get used to it. Also depends on your daily routine. I work at an office so after lunch I can just go to the bathroom, brush my teeth and trays no problem.

I'm personally a fan of the traditional metal joints. If Invisalign is anything like my retainers

It's hilarious watching my sister have to plan meals around it. I've seen her even skip meals in public or late at night cause she doesn't want to go through the brushing:shaqlaugh:

With the attachments though it just ends up looking like regular braces so what's the point. It's a scam cause most people end up having to get the attachments

And god forbid they have to put multiple on at weird angles like

I mean I'm sure Somalians got used to walking 5 miles for water everyday but it ain't the way to live

Me personally when I get done a meal I like to lay back and . Just the thought of me having to promptly get up to brush AND floss

Being that annoying friend when nikkas is ready to bounce up out the restaurant you talmbout I gotta go to the bathroom to brush my teeth

To easy to prolong the process by not wearing them. Bite the bullet same some coin and go traditional.

 

[Chill]

Better off just going standard breh. I got the metal ones right now and I barely notice them.
