I started my braces 2 weeks ago and I'm so excited! I am 36 and I've always hated my teeth. I can't wait to be able to smile with my teeth for the first time as an adult. Thank you for these videos.
I also have adult braces. I'm so concious when wearing elastic at work and public. Thanks for inspire me to wear my elastic more often ❤ Hopefully I can get my braces off soon 😊
Hi doctor Nate, my name is Ali. I just found your channel and I really like it. I think that your videos are really nice and informative. I am currently in 10th grade, and I live in California. I am interested in becoming an orthodontist. Any tips and advice for me? Any tips on getting a job shadow opportunity? Also, would you recommend going to a state like Texas or growing states for a job? Do you know about job opportunities abroad? Your videos are very inspiring and beneficial. Hope you keep making videos! Also, I have a youtube channel, and it's growing slowly. Any advice on staying consistent with making videos and growing my channel? Thank you so much and I will continue watching your videos!!! I also currently have braces and I have had them for almost 3 years now. I will be taking them off soon. Would you recommend getting a wire bonded to my teeth or should I stick with the plastic retainer? Best regards Ali
Hi Ali. That's a lot of question;) I went to USC in Cali but we moved because it just made more sense for us. Moving is a tough personal decision so that will be up to you. No real trick to making videos other then trying to remember WHY you are making them. If your WHY is strong enough you will make tons of videos. As far as getting retainers I recommend clear plastic retainers. If made well I believe they are best. I don't recommend permanent retainers because they are so hard to keep clean. Good luck!
Hi Dr. i am very close to getting my braces removed, it's been 3 years since i put them on, and in about 6 months i will get them off completely. Are you supposed to wear retainers for the rest of your life, or should i wear them as long as i worn braces. Sorry for bad English. Best regards!
Nathan Coughlin okay but which one has a better recovery rate ?you had a sarpe surgery along with the expanders did you have to wait months to heal from the surgery and does this surgery damage the nerves and could possible leave you with a nerve injury or is that only attributed to a jaw surgery where they have to move the upper jaw ?Thanks in advance .

Does sucking your thumb cause an underbite? I sucked my thumb a lot as a child and I have an pretty bad underbite.
Hi Kara. Most of the time it will cause an open bite, rarely an underbite.
Ok. Thank you!
Is sarpe surgery more tolerable than an orthognacic surgery?
Yes but both are tough on patients.
Nathan Coughlin okay but which one has a better recovery rate ?you had a sarpe surgery along with the expanders did you have to wait months to heal from the surgery and does this surgery damage the nerves and could possible leave you with a nerve injury or is that only attributed to a jaw surgery where they have to move the upper jaw ?Thanks in advance .
