      I did. This gave me a onger face (eye to mouth). Reduced tongue space (less ear to mouth distance). Smile in shadow when lips parted. It even slightly rounded my eyes, as less eye support from cheeks. Human teeth are attached to something. Called the face! This doesn't just move teeth back. It moves faces back. I have since grown (some) of my face back thanks to face-focused treatment. Makes me so sad that in 2020, some orthodontists are still promoting retraction of faces for overbites and/or overjets :( ua-cam.com/video/eivdInkKJvM/v-deo.html

    My 9 year old started his phase 1 about a month ago. He has had dental problems his whole life that have let up to 6 extractions in a one-year span. He has severe crowding, 100% overjet, and his mouth is literally in a v shape. He goes back next week on the 28th to have a palate expander placed. A month or two later he will return to have bottom braces put on, and I am not sure if they were putting the metal springs in at that time or not. It was just mentioned he will need those also. Then somewhere down the road he will be getting a bottom expander placed. He is so excited knowing he will have a new smile he can be proud to show! His older brother has had braces before, so I think this has been a huge help up to this point even though it is just the beginning of treatment.

    I got the news my mouth isn’t progressing as expected (with constant elastic use) so I’m getting springs next month. This isn’t a surprise, I have a genetic connective tissue disorder and I’m an adult.
    This video is very soothing for my dental anxiety. The springs sound miserable, but I’ve been fighting incredibly hard against jaw pain from a 5mm overjet.

  • @Riverbend1752
    @Riverbend1752 4 роки тому +5

    I've watched your videos for a while, but this explanation of an overjet vs overbite is the one that finally allowed me to understand the difference. I have an overbite, so I only have braces on the upper arch for now. Eventually I will get lower arch, but that's after the likelihood of my top incisors knocking the caps off the bottom ones lessens. At some point, I will need elastics for something, and I'm going to make sure I wear them. I'm getting orthodontic treatment to straighten my really crooked teeth and make them easier to brush/floss. Why would I lengthen the period of harder care and delay that easier care? That just seems illogical.

    I just got forsus springs put on, they’re definitely uncomfortable compared to just having my braces on. Even when I get my braces tightened, my teeth aren’t really sensitive to chewing or eating for more than a day but the forsus springs … feels like when I first got the braces put on lol. It also feels like I’m relearning to brush my teeth just like when I got my braces on. But I’m spending almost $6k for this smile and I’m gonna deal with it and suck it tf up bc it’s gonna be worth it 💞💞💞 I encourage people to get braces, it rly does you give you that confidence boost:)) I use to be so insecure about my smile!!!

    After scrolling all your videos I conclude that I have got all the teeth issue related :
    1. Diastema
    2. Overjet
    3. Pegged upper teeth
    4. Missing mollars
    So the procedures I will need to take most likely :
    1. Invisalign(which I will have it in january) its very costly but they said up front from the beginnings that they cant help to fix my back bended teeth as the tooth next to them have been missing for years. :(
    2. Before doing the invisalign, I need to do fillimg as one of my tooth is starting to decay a little bit.
    3. After invisalign,I will need veneers for at least 2 of my small pegged teeth.
    3. Then after that I would need sinus, bone graft operation as my mollars have been missing for 10 years.
    All this procedures will cost me a fortune yet still I am not sure if it can be fixed completely.
    I am depprresed whenever I think how many treatments to take to have a normal smile ;(

    I have a overjet and my orthodontist gave me Invasligns and it’s not working I haven’t seen anything changes in my teeth. I was suppose to get braces but he said it might affect my gums. But I really think that braces is going to be the best solution for my teeth.

    I’ve had braces to treat my overjet (I used to suck my thumb as a baby) for 5-6 years. My teeth as of now arent too far apart, the only space between them is my lower brackets. Just yesterday my orthodontist gave me elastics for it and told me to use two elastics for each side. I’ve read articles about how you aren’t supposed to double down on them and I’m honestly just worried. Any advice?

    You show overbite/overjet corrections with fixed braces. For children Bionator / Activator apparatus are used to do such correction. Is it possible to use such lose apparatus in adult treatment too ? It may be combined with Headgear to the Activator and chin cap to press the jaws together (during sleeping time). It may look to be an uncomfortable method. But some BDSM-fans may like to do it in this way. They can keep the apparatus as orthodontic costume play accessory for ever. Actually there is a fan community for wearing (outside) orthodontic stuff only for fun. How do you think about it ? My case could be fine tuned in this way. And I would prefer this method, instead to get a fixed brace again.
