Our week of fun is finally here!!  To start of a full week of awesome giveaways, Invisalign Teen is giving away a $100 American Express Gift Card.

When I was in school it was back in the day when the only option was shiny metal braces that cut into your lips and got food stuck all in them.  I actually had braces twice…  I’m pretty sure that the “joys” of those 4 years had some permanent impact on my life.  If I had the option to completely hide my braces who knows what I could be today :)

Seriously though, I’ve learned so much about Invisalign Teen that when the day comes for my three  girls (all who were/are thumb suckers) to need treatment this will definitely be considered.

What’s So Great::

  • For about the same cost as regular metal braces, Invisalign Teen effectively straightens teeth without ‘brace face’
  • Virtually invisible braces means you don’t have to hide your smile and no one even has to know you are in treatment
  • Clear, removable braces fit with active teens lifestyles – won’t interfere with sports, music or other activities
  • Since teens can take the aligners out to brush and floss, they can maintain normal, healthy hygiene during treatment (they can eat what they want, no forbidden foods!!)
  • Over 2 million cases completed

Photobucket

Haven’t heard of Invisalign?  Here’s the basics:

Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires. After detailed impressions are taken of the patient’s teeth, Align utilizes proprietary 3D computer imaging technology to map the complete treatment from start to finish.  Teens wear each aligner for about two weeks. During this time, the aligners gradually move their teeth until they achieve the prescribed final position. Patients typically visit their doctor once every six weeks or so to ensure that treatment is progressing as planned, and to receive their next few sets of aligners.

    I hated braces… every time I ate pizza or something like that, it got stuck in my braces. Then the food would stay there all day too :(. Horrible. Oh, and it totally changed how I played the flute (I was in band in high school), and I couldn’t play right after they took them off!

  • Tina B

    I hated getting food caught in the “metal” — I carry a mirror with me to this day (I am now almost 40) to “check my teeth” because I had to check them constantly with braces when I was a teenager.

  • Amygam13

    I remember having braces as a kid. I remember the day they came off. It was great my smile was beautiful. But the first 2 years of Junior High ware traumatic. But the only other thing worse were the retainers I had to wear. Sounds like Invisalign has the right idea. I know if my kids need braces I will ask for Invisalign instead.

    Metal braces were sharp! They tore up the inside of my cheeks.

  • Struckdeals

    The thing I hated the most about my metal braces was those little colored rubber bands that the orthodontist put on them. Like a mouthful of red, white and blue took away from the fact that there was metal on my teeth.

  • K2solo4

    I couldn't eat laffy taffy all I could do was read the jokes. Not to mention the cuts and pain when you went in for adjustments.

  • emilykayehall

  • http://couponingprincess.wordpress.com/ Heather M

    I hated having to wear the head gear that went with it, ugh!!

  • Cindydawson1969

    I did not have braces, but two of my children did. What I hated most about their braces was the fact that it made it harder for them to brush and floss. It seemed that their dental hygeine was much better without the braces on their teeth.

  • Karen Whitten

    I never had braces but my daughter has. I dislike the tendency for the appliances to break and her not being able to brush well enough. I will definitely being looking into this option.

    After phase I and now phase 2 of metal braces and 10k later, I am beyond frustrated with metal braces. My son is already underweight and his inability to open his mouth in the initial stages causing us to blend spaghettios for drinking and buy ensures to maintain body weight is torture to say the least. Now I have gotten older and my teeth have started to shift, I prefer not to be metal mouth at age 37 and would love to be able to wear invisalign to shift my teeth.

  • Leah

    I hated my metal braces scraping the inside of my mouth!

  • Dolphyn362

  • Couponbhumi

    i had braces and fell from the bicycle, the result, i had bruised my upper lip so bad that i had the two tiny holes in my lip n you could see the shiny metal of my braces thru them

  • Julieanne0709

    Really, only one thing that I hated. There were so many. I guess the worst thing is eating with them. I love beautiful teeth. I too have a thumbsucker.

  • Mary

    Could this contest be any more confusing? Love the concept, but am many of the webpages aren't very user friendly.

  • Jfcoupon

  • April

    Braces made the “awkward” teen years even worse with a mouth full of metal.Rubber bands, food stuck in them, wires cutting into your mouth and who could forget the ” lovely” headgear. oh and the rumor that if when you kissed a boy who also had braces ” you would get stuck kissing”. Really wish Invisalign would have been around for me!

  • Linda

    oh the headaches after they tighten those wires

  • sarahcas

    I wish this had been an option when I needed braces!

    I never had braces but I sure could've used them; my parents just couldn't afford them. I do wish my teeth were a little straighter especially the bottom where they are overcrowded. If any or all of my 3 kids need them in the future I'm glad now there are more options available.

    The thing I hated most about metal braces? Bread clinging to the brackets after finishing my peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Yuck!

  • Chazree

    I hated how the braces left sores and cuts in my mouth!
    As if feeling like my lips sticking out from the metal braces wasn't bad enough, then I had to put gobbs of wax on them to keep from hurting me. I felt like I had swollen lips or checks!

  • christie

    I follow on facebook

  • David Dixon

    I had to use those little rubber bands. I also had to wear that night head piece that pushed your teeth back and strapped around your head.

  • Ida

    What I hate about metal braces is, when you get the braces off there is cement and brackets to pry off. Prying off those brackets can fracture your teeth. Metal Braces seem so barbaric and invisalign is modern and clean.
    For my next kid I will use invisalign.

  • Beckyhill216

  • Christy

  • ChrisinSC

    I have 2 daughters currently in metal braces and they would love to have Invisilign! They are constantly putting rubber bands in and out every time they eat and the worst part is when the metal rubs a sore inside their mouth. With 2 more kids approaching the time to get braces, I will definitely consider this option!

  • kate

    I hated the way they would cut my lips, ouch! We are following South Savers on Facebook too!

  • Chattypatty247

    My teeth are really close together so when trying to get the spacers in to make room for the braces was very painful. Once the tool sliped and went in the top of my mouth! These would be much “safer”

  • CarrieK.

    I actually did not have braces, but so many of my friends did and I thought they were cool looking. I remember holding a silver necklace over my teeth to see how I would look with them on. Little did I know what a blessing it would be to be born with naturally straight teeth.

  • Renee LeBlanc

    I did not have them (but needed them) but watching my 3 kids with metal, I would have to say that the thing I did not like the most was watching the pain they would go through after they got them. The initial, the tightening, the wires that would rub holes in their mouths. We really kept the “wax” people in business!

  • Kelli Rivera

    I hated how sore my teeth felt after getting them tightened. The only good thing about braces was my grandmother's mashed potatoes that she would make for me after every tightening.

  • Chlest727

    The worst thing about metal braces is how bad they cut the inside of your mouth.

  • Lisanole78

    Oh, how many ways did I hate my braces…? Lots of food that I couldn't eat – apples, corn, popcorn, hard candy, gum, etc. etc. etc., and what food I did eat would be on display for all to see! I was in band and played the flute, so the braces really did a number on the inside of my lower lip. Every time I got my braces tightened, I couldn't chew for 2 days. Yuck!

  • Christinaldennis

    I hated when the metal would pop out and cut the inside of your mouth and having to use tht little brush to clean in between them :-(.

  • CCB

    My mouth was so sore from sores to pain from tightening that my parents had to puree my food in a blender. It was awful.

    A better question is what isn't to hate about metal braces? Most hated though? Probably the fear of getting “stuck” together with a boy. Hmm, maybe that fear was actually a blessing – probably kept me out of trouble! ;)

    oh my gosh – i had a crazy rubber-encased spring that attached my bottom teeth to my top teeth and it BROKE in the middle of 7th grade french class! it was like having a metal/rubber stalactite and stalagmite roaming around my mouth. it was awful! i had to go straight to the ortho to get it fixed! blech!!!

  • http://www.desperatelyseekingcoffee.blogspot.com Monicasheree

    I actually just got mine off about 3 months ago! I have some before and after pics on my blog. I had ceramic uppers and metal lowers. My lower front brackets would cause perpetual sores on my bottom lip from me sleeping with my mouth open and it drying out.

    I think the worst thing about metal braces was the few weeks I had to wear the rubber bands. Feels like having your mouth wired shut, except with the added hazard of one breaking suddenly and popping you in the mouth! Oh the joys…

  • Brownsarahc

    Just hated the way they looked!

  • Jessica P.

    I hated that I couldn't chew gum, eat some of my favortie foods and how they cut up my mouth. I had a bridge across the top and still have a huge scar on my tongue where it always cut into it!

  • Zenaid

    When my braces where taken off, the glue was bonded so strongly to my teeth that there are still are little marks on my front teeth of where the glue was scraped off.

  • Anne K.

    The one thing I hated most about metal braces was that the rubber bands connecting the top and bottom of my mouth made it impossible to eat anything, except through a straw. that works for milkshakes, but pureed pork chops with garlic mashed potatoes? Yuk! Then, when that was gross and I was determined to eat a nice little piece of meat, sans blender, I'd get that pork chop to my mouth, drooling everywhere, only to have it get lodged in the rubber bands and then fall on the floor. No thanks!

    I delinced having braces put on when i was younger because the only option was the metal. i would definitely be interested in the invisalign for my thumbsuckers!

  • Carolyn

    Hated how hard it is to keep them clean

  • Dsgffh2

    Both my teens had gaps between their teeth so invisalign was perfect for them! The price isn't any different than the wire ones either!

  • Cber

    The broken/disconnected wires piercing the inside of the cheeks… the Worst!

  • catherine

    I hated the wires poking you all over your mouth causing cuts every where, oh and the wax, ugghhh. I don't miss metal braces!!

  • Theresa

    I most disliked having to wear headgear.

  • Heather

    About the time I was getting my braces off I heard about some invisible braces they were developing for adults. Glad to see they have them for teens now too! I hated the giant sores they made in my mouth – the wax did NOT help!

  • Mcollins5

    I used to hate getting all those sores in my mouth b/c of my braces! They would give you that yucky wax, but it would never help. I still have nightmares about those years!

  • Scqponqueen

    Of COURSE I follow you on Facebook! :) Everyone should!
    Of Course I shared this with my Facebook friends.
    And the thing I hated about braces the most was the pain after each appointment. OUCH!

    But in the end, that was absolutely the BEST $3000 I ever spent. I felt so much better about myself and actually started SMILING in pics!

    3 Entries please! Thanks!

  • Julie

    I didn't mind my metal braces that much. Except how hard it was to brush your teeth… and how we weren't supposed to chew gum… and how food got stuck in them… and how they cut your mouth sometimes… and….

  • Susie Roman

    Hated the way they looked and felt. Also u get food aught in them and kids would make fun of you at school. I think that was the hardest thing about braces were the cruel jokes. At least with these new braces it will be much better for the kids in school dealing with teen pressure. These new braces will be GREAT for a teens self esteem. Susie

  • Sheliab

    Those would have been great for my daughter. The day she got hers off, I took her to the store and she got like 3 big packages of gum and several gummy worms. It would have been really nice not to worry about what she could and couldn't eat.

  • Kelly

    I hate the way braces look.

  • Emmayun2

    I hated the rubberbands that you had to connect your upper to your lower braces with. However after 5 years of having them that was just one of the many things I disliked!!!

  • Afretz1

    I once broke a bracket on a crouton!

  • Carlene

    The worst part for me when I had braces was before they went on I had to have a helix-expander. If you do not know what that is you are are lucky !! I remember the pain of putting it on the pain of expanding it with the turn key and the paid of taking it off. Memories I would love to forget :)

  • SweetDenia

    One of the worst things about wearing metal braces was the nauseating taste of the cement they used to attach the bands to your teeth. Nasty!

  • Beccabraveheart

    Headgear… need I say more?

  • Monkzardo

    I hate the way metal braces look.

  • Lori

  • Karen

  • Jalonzo

    The worst thing about braces is the nasty wax they give you to try and cover the metal that is cutting into your gums. It is kind of a rock and hard place choice, nasty taste wax or pain from the braces :)

  • Cassieharris

    I hated having ulcers on the inside of my mouth all the time!

  • Brandie7_10

    all the skin being rubbed off the insides of your lips…not to mention the horrible wax that was suppose to solve the problem..NOT!!!!!

  • Far_away

    I hated having food stuck in my teeth!

    Getting a new doctor in the middle- Who didn't like what the first doctor had done… Took them all off and put them all back on in one day. Talk about pain. I'm right there with you Jenny- who knows where I would be if I hadn't had braces- for 4 years!!

  • Mom2teenagers

  • Freedomspradley1

    I hate that I'm 30 and never got braces. My daughter is 2 and the dentist told us after her first check-up that she would need braces. She will get to benefit from Invisalign when she's a teen.

  • kcmoore

    All the food that gets stuck inside them!! Gross!!

  • Jessdixon07

    I never wore braces as a teenager, but I'm pretty sure an orthodontist would recommend I get them now. Ouch!

  • Elizabeth22222

    What I hate about metal braces is that my teeth are crooked again!!!! I wore them for more years then I can remember too!!! My son's teeth are just like mine though and I don't think Invisalign can fix them because they are so bad.

    • Bryarsmom

      I hope you do get the other kind for him then….it can be very tramatic to go thru school, being embarrassed to smile. Kids can be so unkind at times.

  • Vivianmarie244

    Even though I wore braces, I still ended up having to put a permanent retainer in to keep my front teeth straight. Still have it today. I thought that was the whole purpose of braces???

  • Ladybugwilliams

    I hope this comment is helpful to some of you. :)
    I used to work as an orthodontic assistant, and here's the skinny from that end. Invisalign works but only in special cases. There are some teeth that are so rotated, or need to move so much that inivsalign simply can not achieve the results desired. If you have a really good orthodontist, he can do the same treatment in his office without having to go through the invisalign company. :) It saves a lot on time and money. Most orthodontists should have the equipment in office with everything needed, they just typically use it for other stuff. You just gotta find a good orthodontists that is willing. :) Hope that helps!

  • Amy

    I wore braces and now 20 years later I could probably use them again. I don't think they worked so well.

  • Mandasparkles7

    Fun Memories…..Food stuck in your braces. The scraping and replacing of brackets. Mouth sores. Retainers getting lost. Mom mad because you aren't waering your bands.

    Loved the day I got them off. Ilved the pretty, straight teeth. Slippery! Glad I had braces. Happier that there are other choices now like invisalign!

  • Cmhughe2

    I hate how they would tear up my mouth.

  • Sarah B
  • Deanna Lewis

    I hated when they had to tighten your braces and you couldn't eat for days. They always made my teeth so sore!

  • Katherine

    The thing I hated most about braces was getting food stuck in them and the diet restrictions. Going for years without hard candy is torture on a kid!

    The thing I remember most is my mouth begin cut up from the braces and also wearing those rubber bands and how bad it would hurt when they would break inside my mouth.

  • Allison

    I hated that your teeth never looked or felt clean!

  • tsmom

    The worse was when they pulled the metal braces off of my molars! I was in the doctors office, which was open to all the other patients, screaming and crying as they tugged the braces off my molars! One of the worse experiences of my life!

  • Jess

  • artlady

    One thing I hated was the leftover glue that they had to scrape off when I got my metal braces removed. There is still one little bitty piece that I can always feel on one of my teeth!

  • Palila

    I really didn't like getting hit in the face while playing soccer when I had braces. As goalie, it seemed to happen more than it should (and hasn't really happened much since getting them off.)

  • Domyslawski

    I had braces for 3 years. I hated how my mouth was so sore after every visit; however, my mom usually let me have a Frosty afterwards. I also hated how my lips would get “stuck” in the braces and cut my mouth……..ow!!!!!

  • Olbupp

    I remember the old metal braces…hated the way they cut into my mouth tissue around the inside of my lips…ugh! Still have scar tissue nearly 40 years later and habitually pull my lips above the gumline when I smile.

  • Lanavdixon

    I never had braces but 4 of my 5 children did. I hated the way their dental hygiene was so poor. I was afraid they would have damaged teeth when the braces came off. Thankfully this did not happen. Invisilign really works as a friends' daughter did those and you really could not see them.

  • Tammy

    Having to have them tightened or moved! I also follow you on facebook =-)

  • Anna Steadman

    I never had braces, but my sister did and what I hated about them was going to the orthodontist with her all the time and having to sit in the waiting room while she was at her appointments. Unfortunately, the dentist says both of my kids are probably going to have to have braces. Ugh!

    I hated that they never cut the wire right in the back and it always cut my mouth up. Would have to go back to the orthodontist to get it fixed.

  • Nancycrom

    I think these sound wonderful! Is it really just for teens, or can a 40-something who has always wanted straighter teeth use them??

  • Jessie C.
  • daha19411

    I hated when a rubber band would pop off. That wasn't fun at all. Plus I had to have a device in the ruff of my mouth to expand it. That really was horrible.

    I had metal braces and hated them…not to mention that since then (about 12 years) my teeth have MOVED and I'm still having to wear my old metal retainer. Rediculous. I'm dying to get invisalign for myself someday to correct what the braces didn't, and finally be free from metal in my mouth!

  • Jane

    I played the trombone in band while having braces and my upper lips were always full of cuts from the pressure of the mouthpiece against the metal posts

  • Leah_in_SC

    The worst thing about braces was getting hit in the mouth with a frisbee and having to pry the hamburger meat that used to be my gums out of the metal. Ugh…makes me hurt just remembering that bloody (literally) day. If my son needs any alignment, we will opt for Invisalign! =)

  • Jana070408

    I can't say anything about metal braces because I was lucky enough to be able to get Invisalign as an adult! And they are AWESOME!!!! 2 years and I was done. And I still have people tell me they never knew I wore braces, when we have a conversation about them.

  • Fixintayall

    It took 6 years in metal braces to get my teeth anywhere close to where I wanted them to be. I remember just praying I would have them off in time for senior pics in high school. Invisalign seems like a MUCH improved way to go!

  • Chris

    Just “liked” you on Facebook.

  • Eebel

    The worst thing about metal braces was how they shredded my mouth. Cutting into cheeks, tearing my tongue, and just plain painful on my gums and lips!

    One thing I hated about metal braces were the cuts I got in my mouth.

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/GVRMISXEABK2ZZ6CAWRL7TBQ64 Steph

    O man braces were awful. I remember them cutting my lips, cheeks and tongue all of the time and just before I even got the dumb things I had to wear an appliance to spread my top jaw apart some and have had to have 4 gum graphs to take care of the thinning gums from moving my teeth. I hate braces and will definately look for an alternative to my thumb sucking little girls teeth when she is old enough.

  • Keisha H

    I never had metal braces, but suffered through several friends' brace years. All that time without the “good” candy bars, pain from tightening, and the self-consciousness of metal would all make the top of my list I think.

    I hated eating sandwiches. There was no neat way to bite into soft bread with braces on. I'd have to tear my sandwich into bite-sized pieces. I got my braces off early for college and replaced them with a retainer. Threw away the retainer on my tray at my first college meal. Then I replaced the retainer with Invisalign. Did the SAME thing. My parents sure wished that Invisalign had offered some sort of insurance.

    This would help in paying for the two I have in braces, now.

    I had braces for years and also had TONS OF CANKER SORES to go with them. Talk about a ton of pain…they were the worst.

  • Molliec

    I have never had braces, but at 30 am seriously considering them as my wisdom teeth have done some major damage!

  • Bev

    I never had braces, but I had rubber bands with the metal posts to hold the rubber bands in place–they were very painful! I love the idea of braces without metal or wires!

  • jenn

    I wore metal braces twice. The second time I wore them I told the orthodontist to take them off. I was going to college and did not want to wear them any longer since I had started in braces at age 8. I am now 33, and I HATE my teeth! They are crooked. I went to an orthodontist a year ago and they told me that I needed my jaw broken and braces. I thought about it and decided I could not afford it. They suggested invisalign for my upper teeth and braces on the bottom teeth. I wish now that I had never told the orthodontist to remove my braces but I was a stubborn teen. I just hope my 2 kids never have to wear braces.

    I hated flossing! Hands down the worst part.

  • Jrobbins519

    I had braces in Jr High and in to HS (4 years) and the WORST thing was playing my trumpet and the insides of my lips and gums being so sore and sometimes bleeding from the pressure of the mouthpiece and the braces! If my little guy ever needs braces, Invisalign would be a great option!

    So many things to hate about traditional braces! I had ceramics, but they're just as obnoxious — yellow stains when you eat curry, salad greens stuck in little crevices. DH is wearing Invisalign now and no one ever notices. :)

  • totstoteens

    I hated the rubber bands!!!

  • Tricia

    Two of mine had metal braces, and the youngest if just waiting for one more baby tooth before he gets them. As a mom, I hated constantly having to monitor what they ate and how they brushed. My husband once had to use wire cutters to clip a wire that had broken under influence of Skittles and was stabbing her in the gum – on vacation.

  • Jamie

    I hated how they cut into your mouth! The day you get them tightened and a couple of days after are always the worst!

  • Landonkd31

    I hated getting food stuck inbetween my braces. I was always picking at my teeth!!

  • Vote4marty

    Hey Jenny! I'm so happy the see this Giveaway contest!!! I was one of the lucky one's that didn't have to have braces, but I do have a six year old that has teeth coming very crooked. His two step sisters have had braces and it looks like when his time comes he will have to as well. I'm so glad to see this product, it has made me very aware of the choices. I'm an older mommy, so what I had though of was the silver mouthful metal. I very happy to have found your site, the other sites and your sponcers! Thanks Cindy

  • Shannon Driscoll Stout

    I hated having to use the rubber bands on my braces that attached my top and lower jaw! They made it hurt! Also, I hate when the wire would poke out the back before my next appointment and it would cut my gums. Ouch just thinking about it!

    I got my braces off 2 years ago at age 26- just 1week before my 2nd child was born. I told my dentist I could not bare the pain of the braces and the baby, lol. I am a big wimp. But I have to say the thing I hated most were the way they dug into my jaws leaving raw spots, hurt so bad..

  • Amanda

    Metal braces that cut the inside of my mouth, that was the worst thing about them!! 20 years later and I still have areas in my mouth that have “scars” from where my braces cut it!!

  • Christopherheidler

    Not being able to eat certain foods after getting my braces tightened!!! :(

    My metal braces went all the way around my teeth, not the kind that just goes on the top/front of the tooth. So, my entire mouth felt like it was made of metal.

  • Scmom08

    I hated cutting my tongue or inside of my cheek on the metal! Ouch!

  • Kcejones

    One thing I hated about metal braces is that I never got to wear them! Even though my friends complained about having them tightened, getting food stuck in them, and not being able to eat & drink certain things, I just thought they looked cool.

  • Danderson

    Rubberbands!!!! ugh!

  • Emily

    I had braces from 5th to 7th grade and I still have discoloration from my braces…thats the thing I hate the most!

  • Ellie

    I had a bite plate and a lip bumper to go along with my metal braces. It was horrible. A big piece of plastic at the roof for my mouth (think big retainer but attached to the horrible braces) and then a bar at the bottom of my braces that made my bottom lip stick out (remember Chelsea Clinton's big bottom lip during braces..that's it). Teens that get Invisalign these days do not know how good they have it!

  • BluStarMom

    I hated metal braces when the wires would pop off, when I had to have them tightened, having them put on, uuuggghhh they were horrible, but they did get the job done hate to be so negative…now I would use Invisalign

  • Tony DeCicco

    I hated the way they made me look. If they were invisible and still made my teeth look good, everything would have been so much easier in school.

  • http://conqueringceliac.blogspot.com/ Emilytwinmom

    I had both metal and then plastic braces. The plastic were almost worse, because they still hurt like crazy and since they were white they stained!!! The metal ones were in my teens, and I never smiled – ever. Plastic ones were in my twenties, got them off early due to twin pregnancy… and will never do them again, crooked mouth or not!

    I was never able to get braces because my parents lost their business in my teen years. I have two genetically missing teeth and the gap can only be fixed with the use of braces. Maybe at age 40 it's my year to get perfect looking teeth??? :-)

    One of the worst things about metal braces was playing sports. If you took an elbow in the mouth, you spent the next five minutes in the bathroom trying to peel your lip out of the metal. Ouch! Needless to say, it left a nice puffy lips for days.

  • Kate O.

    Metal braces stink b/c you can't eat corn on the cob

    The most annoying thing about metal braces….is how they tore up the insides of your lips and to help it heal you got to use that lovely wax, that was even more flattering…metal brackets in ur mouth + a big blob of mucusy looking stuff stuck to it!

    I have 4 boys – 2 currently in braces and at least 1 more to go. The two 15 year olds in braces SHOULD be able to clean their teeth well, but unfortunately they are struggling with it. Metal braces make it difficult for teenagers to have white teeth.

    I hated all the food stuck in them after I ate. I had to carry a pocket mirror around for 2 years so that I could check after every meal and ensure a food free grin.

  • Paula

    I had to quit playing an instrument in band and go to the flag corp because of my stupid metal braces! Would love to get invisalign for my 14 year old!

  • Lori

    This is a great product for everyone. Kids can avoid being teased about having the metal braces, and adults don't have to be so insecure about their smile.

    I hated getting them tightened! It was horrible!

    My braces were almost fun as a kid (got different colored bands every month), but having headgear was a killer (thankfully only at night). So glad something better exists now!

  • Holly

    I always hated the first few days after they were adjusted because sometimes it hurt!

  • Tisha

    I didn't get braces until I was in high school right when everyone else was getting them off. I didn't smile showing teeth until the day of senior pictures. The ortho office called and said they had a cancelation and would I like to get my braces off today? Before they could finish their sentence I was running out the door. Made it home just in time to take a shower and go get my senior pictures taken. :-)

  • Ksuttles

    I hated getting gum stuck in them … yes, yes, I know … we weren't supposed to chew gum…… but what teenager listens??? LOL.

  • Leslie

    The worst thing about braces for me was wearing rubber bands on them. I had one on each side that hooked from my top teeth to bottom teeth, and another that went sideways across the front of my mouth from top teeth to bottom teeth. I looked ridiculous!

  • kathy

    wires in your mouth

  • Stephanie

    Hated the rubber bands, hated when they tightened them…hated everything!

  • Mccmom23

    I was supposed to get braces but my parents never did. Now my 12 yr should be needing them, these would be great to lessen her fears about being teased. And I am a face book fan.

    The thing I hated the most about braces was not being able to eat a candy Apple.

  • Jemerson818611

    I hated that when a wire would start to stick out the back teeth it would always poke little holes in the inside of me cheeks and once i even had it pop out and basicly pierce my cheek all the way through talk about hurting.

  • Sarah S.

    I had to wear headgear at night! That was the worst!

  • Lisa

    Hated most about braces – becuase they stay in ALL the time they sometimes leave nasty brown stains on newly straightened teeth. My daughter has Invisalign and can remove them to brush and floss well each day! Also the Invisalign are removed when eating!And they are less expensive then “usual braces” – at least that is what we discovered when we priced them out.

    I had metal braces. . .but do not remember much about them except I wanted them really badly and was thankful my parents got them for me. I am now in the ball park of shopping for braces for my kids. Thanks for the info and thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card.

  • my3sons

    Ugghh! I hated my braces, the metal wire always got stuck to the inside of my mouth and would cause them to bleed! So glad that phase of my life is over!

  • Trestrotters

    I hated the fact that I would get my check caught in them all the time and had to keep going back because of broken brackets…….im definately using this for my child over braces

  • susanne

    For sure getting my gums cought on all those wires!!

  • cb

    I didn't have to have braces. :) But, both of my kids will. :(

  • Oblby

    I hated my metal braces because I had to wear them for three years throughout high school…If only invisalign was an option back then…

  • Michelle

    There's no way I can list just one thing I hated about metal braces. I got them when I was 32, and I wore them 3 1/2 years (until last year). They were absolutely miserable!!! They were ugly, they hurt like crazy, they were expensive, etc., etc., etc. I wish I had checked into Invisalign before I got braces!

  • Skhodson2112

    Am a FB follower and don't know where to begin about what I hated about the metal braces. They were uncomfortable, the wires poked inside my mouth and gums, and, probably the worst thing was the cement used to glue them on affected the enamel on my teeth to cause great sensitivity later. :(

  • Kristi

    I always hated not being able to chew gum! I would do it anyway every now and then….and regret it! Hahaha….I really need braces again because my teeth are shifting. This is a great giveaway.

    thanks for all the advice and this contest…

  • ShannonUA

    Broken wires, rubber bands, and the fact that you needed blinders to protect you from the shiny glare every time I smiled! And of course, the fear of getting your braces “stuck” to someone if you kissed them!! LOL

  • Becca_62400

    I remember when I had braces, I had them for 6yrs. I remember getting the different color bands to put on them and they weren't fun at all. I couldn't eat things that I use to eat and I also had to have mouth surgrey as well when I was wearing them. I always wished there was some other way to have prettier teeth besides braces. I've been wanting to get some info on the invisalign because since I have had my braces off my teeth have moved so much. I'm really hoping that neither one of my kids have to have braces.

  • Sarah

    The rubber bands were the worst!

    The little doughnut spacers they put in your back teeth before you got braces…and, the sore spots on your lips from rubbing the brackets.

  • Celiadawn

    whats not to hate about metal braces… the metal that pokes and cuts ur mouth… the rubberbands.. knowing that everytime you go to the orthodontist they are going to tighten them and you'll leave in so much pain your teeth hurt… wearing them for 4 years yuk yuk yuk … but the end result was worth the pain and embarassment

  • Hollifield914

    My parents could never afford braces and I had to pay for my dental work once I got of high school and out on my own. My girls have the same teeth that I do and they both need braces. They have begged me to not get those “ugly metal things” but I know they need it. Now, today I see this ad and am thrilled to see my dentist is on the preferrred list too!! Making appointment now!

  • Lane

    I hated getting hit in the face with soccer balls much more when I had braces, and playing the sax was always a challenge, as the metal braces would cut into my lower lip.

  • kimberwi

    I follow Southernsavers on Facebook. I also hated the fact that you couldn't eat popcorn or caramel. Glad I only had to wear them for a year.

  • cammy

    I hope none of my kids need to put up with the metal braces, I think it hurts every second of it and it really isn't fashionable !

  • Blouzahdeb

    I hated having them tightened, the palate spreader (can you say “ouch!”), and the constant irritation to the inside of my mouth (especially from this spring-looking thing)… Yeah, I had horrible teeth!

  • angel

    Having metal braces adjusted would have to be my least favorite part of having them, but in the end it was well worth it.

    The names the other kids say when you wear braces are just mean!

  • Margaret Smith
  • SFLS

    What I hated most about braces are the scars they left behind AND the fact that my teeth/bite/jaw alignment is still wrong. I have lived with this bad bite for over 20 years, had two root canals (because I chew all on the one side were my teeth line up) and still bite myself occasionally. I guess that is what I get when my parents' choose the cheapest ortho in town. However, I was the 'lucky' one – my three siblings that need braces never got them.

  • kylee

    i follow on facebook!! Thanks for the great giveaways!

    What did I hate? Other than the pain? And the rail marks on the insides of my gums? I'd guess that perhaps it's the fact that many of my teeth now look like they have vertical cracks in them.

  • Mommyofone

    I know someone that had the invisalign. I have heard nothing but great things about them. Would love to have them for myself.

  • Suz

    I remember the days when opening your mouth too wide could mean that little rubber bands went springing out at someone.. eeeeew!

  • Jeb 2002

  • Csgordon05

    metal braces can be distracting

  • Angela

    I have not gotten mine yet.. I need them as an adult and refused to get them because of how horrible they look. I am glad they have this product I am going to look into it myself to see if it would correct my problem. Just did not want to be a 34 year old with big, shiney metal in my mouth :)

  • Dpblackwell

    I used to hate going to visit my cousins in the country. They were not used to seeing people with braces. My uncles used to tell me to go outside and sit on the roof to get better reception on the television. (there was no cable back then)

    My daughter wore braces and she was consantly being poked by the metal wires. She also hated that we restricted her from gum and popcorn.

  • shaubold

    I hated my braces, but I hated my horrible crooked teeth even more. I had them put on at age 16 and didn't get them taken off until my 20th birthday. Even though the braces were aggravating and not pretty, I am always grateful for having a beautiful and confident smile now. The invasalign technology is so great. I sure wish it was an option when I was a teen.

  • Amy J.

  • Beth

  • Chrystalm

    My children now need braces. But when I was a teenager I had the metal braces and loved peanut rolls, but I would always get the peanuts stuck between the metal and my teeth. I would always get lectures from my orthodontist.

My kids will both need braces, the oldest in the very near future. They both had dental surgery before 4 due to being born with defective enamel. It would be nice to help them get braces that are not as painful since they have experienced so much already.

  • Crystal Mclean

    I certainly hated the look of the braces, the pain when I got them tighten, the fact that you couldn't eat corn, lettuce, spinach, gum or much of anything really without it getting stuck in them. I had to take 30 minutes extra after each meal to clean my teeth. URG!

    Now following Southern Savers on facebook!!! I hated my metal braces….oh where to begin???!!! I hated the “full mouth” feeling you had when you tried to close your lips over your braces and you felt like they still stuck out. I hated that insecure feeling of wanting to smile at something but remembering suddenly the mouth full of metal the others around you (usually other teenagers…..sigh) would get a shot of. There was everything to hate about them….but the best day of all was when they were finally removed and you realized that maybe they were worth it after all.

    I hated how the inside of my cheeks would get stuck on the brackets for your molars and your cheeks would be cut up on the inside. Ugh!! I remember giving a speech in 6th grade and all of a sudden in got caught and I had to stop and fix it before I could continue my speech. SOOO embarassing I still remember it and I'm almost 30!

    I hated flossing. You had to thread the floss underneath the wires and it took FOREVER…it seemed even longer as a teenager. I had braces twice and now at 27 my teeth have shifted slightly. I opted for retainers because as a young looking middle school teacher I couldn't stand the thought of wearing braces again! I do love my mom for making it possible for me to have them as a teenager though. They were a pain, but worth it in the end!

    I had some type of braces from second grade all the way through high school…and guess what? My teeth are crooked again. I would LOVE to try these. My least favorite thing about braces were how they cut my checks. The wax never really worked, it just made a gooey ball of slime in my mouth. :P

  • Rcbarnhart11

  • Qpmomma

    I'm definitely not a teen but I have had invisalign braces as an adult. They did a fabulous job of giving me a great smile. I had metal braces in high school but only for a short time because they cut into my lips and I would pop the brackets off. My parents got sick of me tearing up my braces and had the orthodontist remove them. Needless to say my experience with metal braces didn't go well thus my need for invisalign as an adult.

  • iamdnl

    I hated having to have the brackets glued back on after I popped it off by doing something I shouldn't:)

  • AmyH

    As a 2nd grader I got braces (1982). I then had braces until (1991) when they removed them and I had jaw surgery fix my overbite. I still have a permanent retainer. Needless to say when my mom took me into the orthadontist he hit the jackpot.

  • 4j

    I hated them because as an athlete I was constantly getting a busted lip – one time the “bracket” when clear through my lip had to go to the Doctor/ ER facilty to have them removed….IT WAS PAINFUL! I would have LOVED invisalign and they would have been so much “safer” for us athletes.

I would eat and the rubber band would shoot across the table and hit my sister (well that was kinda fun). Food would get caught in the back metal bands on the back teeth..ugh. I am so glad those days are over but it was worth it. I have pretty teeth.

    The number one thing I hated about my son's metal braces, he had them removed, was the fact he had such a hard time cleaning his teeth well with them on. I also didn't like the orthodontist, but that's besides the point. I would love to get him Invisalign ones, or perhpas he can get those once he's ready to do it again. :-)

    They hurt! How many cuts can you get on your lips, and cheeks, and that waxy stuff you put on the problem spot until your next visit when they could trim the wire. Ahhhhhh…. memories!!! Ha Ha!!!!!

    I was so lucky. I never needed braces. Does hating to kiss the boy with metal braces count?

  • Switchfan

    I actually never had metal braces…. My mom got me invisalign when I was in college, because I had a gap between my front teeth and disliked the IDEA of braces enough to say “no, I'll keep my gap”.

    But you might want to tell people that Invisalign is only for MINOR teeth straightening. Major teeth straightening still requires braces.

    Also, I can't speak for people with metal braces, but because you have to take your invisalign braces out to eat, it can end up hurting A LOT a few times a day, instead of the slow and steady ache that (I presume) is metal braces after they've been tightened. And the technology isn't perfect – by the time I got to the last few sets for my teeth, they were a little off from the way my teeth actually sat in my mouth (but maybe that was my fault). In any case, I'm thankful someone else paid for them!

As a result, when I finished college, I pushed the dentist to take them off early, and guess what? Now I need braces again on the bottom teeth. But this time, I'll be going with Invisalign!

  • Cphe

  • mjbacon

    Let's see: no easy way to floss, food restrictions, sharp edges, rubber bands, horrible nicknames, self conscious (about appearance, eating, and breath), and pain (to get on, to have tightened, and to have taken off). Did I miss anything? Oh, right, having them a second time on the bottom after you go to college because you thought you didn't need your retainer any more. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I was recently told that I need them again because my teeth moved do to all of the headbutts that my young children gave me while sitting in my lap. I am 37 years old. Really? Braces again? <heavy sigh> This American Express card can be used for Invisalign, right?

  • Jaymom26

    Okay here is the scoop on this one I had metal braces in my mouth form the age of 9 till I graduated High School 9 years, and I played JV and Varsity soccer I hated getting hit in the face with a soccer ball with metal braces on my teeth I always ended up with really bad split lip and a bloody mouth. So glad that they have made such advances in the world of orthodontics.

  • Motorcityrunaway

    The absolute worst thing about metal braces was the way they tore the inside of both upper and lower lip. Back then they gave you this red fake licorice stuff to place between the braces and the inside of your mouth. Even worse!

    Wore them for 4 1/2 years, the absolute worst thing about metal or clear braces – not being able to clean properly, my teeth stained above and below braces and the glue made them yellow in middle, not a pretty sight.

Anyways, what I disliked about them the most was the little metal wires sticking into the sides of my cheek and I couldnt get an appointment for a couple day. just put some wax on it they would say……it didnt work so I just waited until they could go in and fix the situation! haha

    One thing I hated about the metal braces was when they had to tighten them. It always felt like my teeth were going to fall out. After having braces twice because they moved from not having a retainer the first time, 15 years later my teeth are starting to move again and I might have to get them again! Thankfully, I have consulted with my dentist and now I am thinking invisalign!!

    The food that would always get stuck in the metal braces was awful! Then, trying to clean and brush to get it out was almost just as bad. But, the absolute WORST was how they would cut up my cheeks and lipsI had to have regular braces on my top teeth when I was in high school. Not a fun experience, at all. I had invisalign on my bottom teeth and it was awesome because no one could tell that I was even wearing it!
    Excellent giveaway!

  • Rschroeder1034

    I myself did not have braces, but I do remember my sister agony. The only time I remember her not being so nice was after a visit to have the tightened. She was newly married, her & hubby were standing in the hall of their “new” place kissing & his lip got stuck on her braces. I know it hurt but it was so funny watching them trying to to break apart & not hurt him anymore.

    My 14 year old son has had Invisalign braces for four months now. My 17 year old had metal braces. There is simply no comparision! Love the Invisalign! No broken brackets, no worries about flossing, plus you can really visually track the progress, as you can see those pretty teeth not obscured by metal. Plus, what a shock it was when my oldest son finally got his brackets off. The stains from the glue, etc were not so attractive. The stains are gone now, but invisalign is the way to go if your child qualifies for that treatment. arissier@bellsouth.net

  • Cathy

    Oh geez… where do I start??? I had braces THREE times! My baby teeth were so bad that I had braces on before I had adult teeth so I could allow my adult teeth to come in! Then I had braces in high school for 3 years. And then, I had them on my bottom teeth for 6 months when I was 20 because my bottom teeth shifted slightly after having my wisdom teeth removed.

    I love my smile now… but I spent most of my teen years with a metal mouth. I hated feeling self conscious about having food stuck in my teeth and I hated having my picture taken because of the braces. I wish they had invisalign back then! It would have made such a difference growing up!

    The thing I hated about metal braces is two things. Number one is that I could not chew gum without having a gob stuck in the brackets. Also i used to have a bad habit of chewing on my pencil in school and my metal bracket would brake, or my rubber bands would pop me in the mouth lol funny now but not then.

  • Sjc9991

    The worst thing about metal braces is the waythe inside of your mouth gets all chewed up.

  • Selene

    The thing I hated about metal braces was that they caught or got caught on everything that entered my mouth.

  • MamaKat

    Only one? I hated how my lips and cheeks were always shredded.

    They are soooo U-G-L-Y!!

    I really hated going and having them tightened! Plus the fact that when they did that – they always put something like tin foil in my mouth for some reason!!! That STILL gives me the willies and makes me cringe when I think about it.

    The most horible thing about metal braces is not having the courage to get them.. I did not want to be called alllllll those names Ha Ha. I still have crocked teeth at 43 but would love to get Invisalign.
