I can't compare, since I never had the regular kind.
Bear in mind: 1) I've always thought mouths are gross. 2) I am addicted to caffeine and normally drink coffee until noon, have water with lunch, then drink a Diet Coke or more coffee on coffee breaks. With these in, you are not supposed to drink anything except water.
These are really about being willing to force yourself to wear them. Because if you don't wear them 20 hours a day, every day, they won't work. Most people can't even tell I've got them in, so in terms of appearance and speech, the downside is not bad. I'm just totally squicked by the brushing, rinsing, and taking in and out of the trays.
