Does any one know if the invisible teeth braces better than the metal one?
The invisible teeth braces clearly keep you from looking like a 'metal mouth' (an obvious plus), but they also take much longer to work. I'd go with the straight metal if I were you, just to get them over with (straight metal works a little faster than the metal and the bands, but they're kind of new).





Happy teeth straightening!
Reply:yes their way better you dont get picked on
Reply:Because if you brush your teeth everyday, People call it invisible braces.
Reply:well the medal ones work better but the invisible ones look better your pick.
Reply:The Invisable i'm 11 and I had the metal and they hurt and then I got the invisable ones and then the pain stopped
Reply:I got the wire ones bonded to the inner side of my teeth. I can still floss with a threader (ask the orthodontist what that is), and I never have to worry about forgetting to put it in. After a few hours it feels normal.
Reply:i think that metal ones are better because the fact the spit doesn't get stuck between the plastic braces and your teeth.the metal ones are OK but the food gets stuck in them but u can easily get that out.so i say metal.....o yea and i think that metal ones take a shorter time then plastic ones
Reply:Are you talking about clear brackets or Invisalign?


Clear brackets are made of procelain or ceramic and break easily. They also cost more. Some orthodontists charge more to place the clear brackets and usually only put them on the top 6 front teeth. You will still have metal brackets on the lower teeth and the molars. As for Invisalign, Orthoclear, or Red White %26amp; Blue from Ormco, they are the plastic trays similiar to bleach trays that are only good for certain malocclusions. Usually mild retreats or to move 1-4 teeth only. Depending on the Orthodontist will depend on what you pay, but in my ortho experience Ormco's Red White %26amp; Blue is the least expensive. The clear brackets aren't any better than the metal ones. If you can find an Orthodontist that uses the Damon System brackets, I'd go for it. They are self ligating and move the teeth faster, with less office visits and less discomfort overall.
Reply:How long it takes depends more on your individual problem than the type of braces you get.





Invisalign are definitely more cosmetically appealing. They sometimes stain, and yes, you can see them, but you can take them out if needed. You can also brush and floss normally, and you don't have to worry about things getting stuck in them.





Metal braces are usually cheaper. They're quite painful when you first get them on (the metal digs into you lips and tongue at first), but compared to Invisalign, they're much less painful when you get them tightened. All of my friends with invisable ones had to miss a day of school for the pain! The most I ever had to do after the first week was take an Advil. Another small bonus about metal is that you never have to worry about losing them.





They also make white plastic ones that work just like metal but are less visible. I had those once, and after seeing what my friends went through with invisalign I'd definitely go with the platic traditional ones again if I had to do over.
