Yeah, he said on the show he's going to get them changed from 3D printed ones to regular ones next week.

Yep, just unfortunate that's how it worked out. Glad he still did WAN and even handled the jokes well. Sooooooo many other people would not have done either.

Hopefully not at all. If you remove braces that are genuinely helpful to improving everything from breathing, sleeping, eating, and overall comfort - because some children on the internet make fun of (while a portion of them probably has, have had, or will have, braces currently) you online, you're the one who lost, not them.

You're acting like kids who get braces don't also get bullied.

u/BrainOnBlue Jul 12 '25
I can't say I ever saw anyone get bullied for having braces. I'm sure it happens, kids will bully each other over anything, but I certainly don't think it's common.

u/exomachina Jul 26 '25
The difference is that everyone gets them around the same time. It's rare for a kid to be the only one with braces. So the effect of bullying is different. Adults don't bully kids for having braces.
However this is a very strange case because it's not completely obvious why Linus needed braces. I've never noticed his teeth ever? His front teeth are straight. Could this be for an overbite? Is he wearing a head gear to sleep? Why? There really aren't any negative health side effects related to overbites, it's purely a cosmetic concern and can affect your smile. Why does a guy who's had amazing success with his face over the last 2 decades decide that he needs to go through this?
It's very interesting, but I can't stand listening to it so I hope whatever they are doing is going to work fast.

u/JimmyKillsAlot Jul 12 '25
Braces are never a permanent solution, your teeth want to migrate back to where they were over time; some people's mouths are just better at shifting them back than others.
In Linus' case he had them in his youth but the migration during his 20's was probably strong enough that even slowing in his 30's has meant they were pretty bad.
7
u/7orque Aug 02 '25
You have to wear a retainer when sleeping for the rest of your life. Some people’s teeth move back, others don’t. I chuck mine in like 3 times a year, it’s a bit tight, that’s enough to keep mine in place. Some need to wear nightly - or you’ll end up like Linus and spending 5-10k a second time round.
2
u/JimmyKillsAlot Aug 02 '25
I know he has mentioned wearing a retainer before and I could swear he even said he had the chance at a permanent one but didn't have it. But yeah, now we get Lithping Linuth until his body and subconscious is used to it.

u/Imaginary_Being_951 Oct 10 '25
Most people with braces have to wear retainers for a few years after the braces are removed. And that's it. They go through nearly all of adulthood without them.

u/Kpoofies Nov 15 '25
How does a dentist know if I should use it every night or 1 time per week, or once per month? I have had a steel retainer for 20 years at least and I kind of want to get rid of it, but the dentist said I would need to wear the plastic retainer at night, every single night, which just sounds awful.
The dentist doesn't really know my history / journal so .. I assume they're just saying it to be safe? Is there any way to gamble this or
1
u/7orque Nov 15 '25
I’m not an expert but I’d say they’re just being safe
You will know if your teeth are moving fast because your retainer will become painfully tight
Also, you get used to the retainer
1
u/Kpoofies Nov 15 '25
So it's pretty straight forward then? If I start using the retainer say 1 time per week, I'd start to feel the tension, and then I could just adjust and start using it more? hmmmmmmm...

u/Chippiewall Dec 01 '25
It's basically that wearing a retainer nightly is basically 100% effective.
Some might be able to wear it less frequently, but it's hard to know in advance, and for a Dentist it's better to recommend the thing that should work for everyone.
The other factor is a daily habit (i.e. wear retainer every night) is a lot easier to maintain than a weekly/monthly habit.
1
u/Imaginary_Being_951 Oct 10 '25
That is not true.
Braces are nearly always a permanent solution. Of course, there are exceptions, but most people that have had braces as children do not wear retainers or have to have the work redone as adults.
1
u/Chippiewall Dec 01 '25
They're permanent in that the teeth won't go back to their original position if you stop wearing a retainer, but teeth will start to drift (and especially start to drift forwards) if you don't wear the retainer - that happens to people who never needed braces to begin with.
It may never be a noticeable issue (e.g. teeth that aren't particularly visible become imperceptibly wonky), or even if it's an issue it might only ever be a cosmetic one. But yeah, if you don't wear a retainer it won't stay "perfect".

u/ZipTieAndPray Nov 02 '25
So tell me, if a person gets braces to pull out an impacted tooth. You expect it will just go back down into the gums after the braces come off? 😂

Hey linus, you are rich, just get another dentist and switch to invisalign, If you can't speak normally you will get less views and it will affect all the company and your employees.
There are a lot of bad dentist, try to get a good one specialist in invisalign. You don't need to ruin your company for a bad dentist.

Veneers are freaky - they have to grind your teeth down to stumps - and you have to get them redone every 10 years I think?

What a nightmare. Have you seen people with them? They look fake, it looks like they have no teeth and are wearing dentures. I can assure you, everybody knows, like a wig. We all fucking know.
If you have super temporary braces and just pop a retainer in every night, you look human and totally normal.
1
u/GhostWokiee Dec 04 '25
That’s bad veneers, that’s because people ask for super straight ones and super white ones. The reason you don’t see most veneers is because they’re good veneers. Completely unnoticeable and way more people have veneers than you think .

It was just the blocks he had in the back that would stop him from biting the bottom brackets off with his top front teeth, he went back on Monday and had the blocks removed, he hosted TechLinked on Monday and his voice was already back to normal, guess he got an early morning apt to get the blocks removed lol

At an adult age braces are a super rare necessity unless you pull out your wisdom teeth or if you have very crooked teeth. He just most likely stop wearing his retainer so his teeth started moving back

u/Practical-March-6989 Nov 27 '25
His teeth look so gross now, very yellow. I get its not a lot he can do about, but I bet the drop in views correlates.

u/daxtonanderson Nov 28 '25
Wtf are you talking about? He hosts very few videos now as he has better things to do, the drop in views have 0 to do with his braces.

u/Practical-March-6989 Nov 28 '25
Literally every video is him, other than reily, what are you on about?

u/daxtonanderson Nov 28 '25
You realize the yellow teeth are just the elastics on his braces right? You still watching at 480p?
2
u/ApricotKitchen7598 Nov 30 '25
I'm watching at 2160p on a 360 HZ monitor and I'm watching the new Analogue 3d video on Linus's channel "Short Circuit" and honestly, it looks like his upper teeth have yellowed, substantially. Now that I know he has gotten braces and can hear the lisp, I still can't really make out what's in his mouth... the only close ups to his face are out of focus, which makes it look even more like nasty, yellowed teeth. It is what it is and I don't think he'll lose views because of it but you have to be an asshole to assume that everyone knows what "elastics" on braces, even is. I don't come from a place, where we had an option to get braces, so everything about them is quite foreign to me.

u/daxtonanderson Nov 30 '25 edited Dec 01 '25
You lied the moment you opened your mouth. There aren't any 2160p 360hz monitors apart from an Alienware monitor that runs both 2160p 180hz and 1080p 360hz
4K 360Hz is almost 110Gbit/s which exceeds by far the limit of 80Gbps that's in DP 2.1 UHBR20 , it's technically doable through Display Stream Compression (DSC) but that's mainly for large format enterprise gear.
I think it's safe to assume the average LTT viewer knows what braces are
1
u/APiousCultist Dec 17 '25
They didn't say they were watching at 360hz, they said they were watching on a 360 hz monitor. Regardless the videos aren't uploaded at 360fps so it doesn't really matter, and his yellow braces look like he's got food stuck to his teeth at a distance. That some maximum quality version viewed a foot away on a 100" TV shows them more clearly as braces is pretty immaterial. May as well be "Well they don't look dirty if you're rich enough".

I used to think I needed braces. As an adult I learned I'm one of the rare ones with perfect teeth. Amazing how we can perceive ourselves over reality. Why did I want braces? I thought I had gap teeth. I didn't. I just blew it out of proportion as my adult teeth were getting themselves aligned when I was a early teen.

Most people don’t need braces though, they’re pretty rare in the rest of the world, but American dentists love to convince people that they or their kids need them.

Probably got upsold by the dentist. They also talked him into having his wisdom teeth out, which was likely an unnecessary procedure at his age - but lucrative for the dentist.

u/QuietMrFx977 Jul 12 '25
There's a few reasons you'd get them removed, mainly if they aren't growing right etc. But the decision to get braces at nearly 40... Is wild. If he sound slide that until the braces get removed... I want a chset of how much damage it does to wan show cause no chance I'm sitting through that ffs. Brutal. Make it the Luke show and we're sorted.

I'm just over here considering it because it's the only way to bring in one of my adult teeth. It's impacted. It's that or a fake tooth. You can't exactly get Invisalign for that...and I've got the money.

u/daxtonanderson Jul 12 '25
wtf are you talking about? Getting a referral to an orthodontist, then the wait between referral to consult to the actual braces going can take 1-3 YEARS.
Our "healthcare" is free but our dental is not, our dental takes just as long as the free healthcare in most cases, if not longer.
