Reply:metal becuase you can tell when food is stuck in them and invisable you cant see crap
Reply:invisible,
Reply:Metal. Invisible make your teeth look yellow!
Reply:no definitely get metal ones...the plastic ones just look like plaque
Reply:metal..its better and it works faster...
Reply:Brush often and brush well, you don%26#039;t want decalcification rings on your teeth. Don%26#039;t eat the stuff they tell you not to, you could knock a bracket off.





I%26#039;ve never seen the invisible ones (I guess you%26#039;re not supposed to, are you?) so I don%26#039;t know about those.
Reply:i used to
Reply:If your teeth are fairly nice why bother? Braces hurt and keeping them pearly white is hard because of the metal and the glue etc...
Reply:I%26#039;m 19 as well, I recommend the metal braces if you want to get all the cool colors on your teeth! I currently have on red right now.
Reply:I work for an orthodontist and the best thing for you to do is just listen to what the Dr. suggest, those clear invasligns don%26#039;t work all that well, but you can still get clear metal braces. It all depends on how your teeth are positioned. I%26#039;ve seen them put braces behind your teeth, which is much more expensive, but good if you dont%26#039; want to be embarressed with the wires. Good luck and take care!
Reply:i just got my braces off and i personally wished that i had gotten the invisible ones
Reply:get the metal!!
Reply:metal is much quicker and you can get colors on them to match your style so go wit metal





p.s. dont be ashamed of your braces keep on smiling even when you get your braces
Reply:Metal! Yeah... Just make sure you wear a retainer after your treatment.
Reply:well if your trying to get the guy invisible they are more expensive but... and then you will be really bugged so i use vasoline sometimes (no matches though =) or wax just to make you a little more comfortable.
Reply:if they are metal you can put on colors if clear no one notices your choice
Reply:If it%26#039;s going to be a short while, I would go for metal braces. They%26#039;re cheaper and more effective, not to mention easier to take care of.
Reply:im wearing metal ones and there better then invisible even though there more visible takes less time too
Reply:I%26#039;d say many people have braces! Grown adults, young adults, teens, pre-teens and kids! It won%26#039;t matter which type of braces you get, as long as you feel comfortable with the one you choose! But, I%26#039;d go with invisible braces, but if your on a tight budget, it%26#039;s better to get metal braces. Don%26#039;t worry, JUST SMILE! BRACES ARE COOL!
Reply:i am 19 too...and have had my braces on for about 6 months but got them taken off for my wedding anyways.... Get the FAST BRACES! I have them.. and they work REALLY very fast I will get mine off an a few weeks already! They look like the normal ones.a orthadontist around here in kansas invented them so i hope they have them where you live. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:I loved braces. I would get the ones where you have the option of getting the bands changed to different colors. Unless you want them to be less visible, in which case you would get the clear ones. I had the colored ones. I would tell the lady to use a different color on each of them. Haha. And she would cause she%26#039;s awesome. I sometimes really miss my braces. Having the color option, you can make your braces have the colors for holidays, black/orange for Halloween, green/red for Christmas, pastels for Easter, etc.





The orthadontist always say not to eat ice, popcorn, gum, etc. while having braces because it will get stuck. You need not to worry about that cause it%26#039;s not usually bad at all. However, if you like celery, try to avoid it. I ate celery once while I had braces. Oh me, oh my. It was really hard to get out. Haha.





You get used to them after the first month or so. Good luck to whatever you do decide and if you need anything, let me know and I%26#039;ll be happy to help you. =]

















Dang. Now I want my braces back.
Reply:Metal work alot better, and you get to pick the colors! The plastic ones don%26#039;t work as fast, so you will probably have them on for longer. The plastic braces are invisable, but when you eat, they turn yellow, and they stay like that for an hour or so. I suggest getting metal braces. Hope this helps!
Reply:Metal braces, more resilient and they work faster. My advice





1. When they are fitting your bands whatever you do don%26#039;t taste the glue. Hide your tongue in the back of your mouth and don%26#039;t take it out until they are finished!!! Trust me!





2. For the first couple days / weeks your entire mouth will be in pain. Invest in soups and soft chew-ables. Rinse with salt water, and deriding mouthwashes. Can%26#039;t think of any names.





3. Get an automatic toothbrush. They help a lot. Also keep a portable toothbrush and toothpaste with you as food will always gets stuck in your braces.





4. Invest in sugar free non chewable mints. Example the paper thin Listerine breath strips.





5. Floss threaders are your friends, w/o them flossing is nigh impossible.





6. Learn what you can and cannot eat. Some of the stuff on the do no list you can eat, like in bone chicken, and biting into sandwiches is doable, you just have to know how much pressure you can put on your brackets before they pop! Sticky candy , and gum simply stay away from.





7. Do not get depressed after you first have them on. You%26#039;ll look at yourself in the mirror and you%26#039;ll look different, and then there%26#039;s the pain and not eating your fave foods as quickly and easily as you used to, but I promise it%26#039;ll get better. Soon you%26#039;ll find out that you can eat more than what you thought you could, you%26#039;ll see that no one even really notices your braces except you. Your mouth will get stronger and not be as sensitive and feel like you have barbed wire in your mouth, and you%26#039;ll get used to them and even like the fact that you have them.





8. Do not get discouraged if you do not see results right away. It took me around a month and a half to see results, and now after 4 months I%26#039;m amazed how fast time has flown by and the results are kicking in. My cross bite is fixed now it%26#039;s just a matter of spacing and moving my permanent tooth where the baby tooth was.





9. Always keep your check up appointments at all costs. The longer you wait or if you push them back, could alter your treatment time.
Reply:Well, I have braces too,but I am 13.If your teeth are not that bad,but you want them perfect.METAL BRACES!!!!They may not look as good,but I know someone your age with metal braces.He was still hot!!It is not actually that bad.So metal braces.
Reply:It really depends cause every mouth situation is different. Sometimes if is only to straighten your teeth you could wear the invisible but if the problem with your mouth is more complicated they will recommend the metal ones. The important thing here is that you have all your questions answer with your Doctor and to not stress to much about it.


If your problem is really simple and you follow instructions to the teeth you will probably have them remove in less than 2 years. Good Luck!!!
Reply:i have braces. They hurt like heck when u first get them on so i would suggest taking Advil and lots of it! Personally i would get the invisible ones but they are more expensive than the others. So... good luck with them and u wont regret them cuz ur teeth will be perfect when u get them off.
Reply:metal ...because i think they are stylin%26#039;
Reply:I dont have any but you should get whatever you feal is right for you!
