What happens if I have a teeth on the on the top of my teeth and I don't know if you know what I'm saying so sorry but if you know can you please let me know because I'm going to get braces soon 😊
Can you do a comparison video between the In Brace (smart wire) and complete lingual braces. I’m trying to decide which one to ask for as I am older now and definitely want something hidden. Also info on permanent lingual wire retainers. Very curious and looking forward to my new journey. Thank you!
Hi! I have a kinda serious problem. I was in class and I fell on the back of my chair, hitting my head and my braces poked my bottom lip making a like piercing but the hole didn’t go to the outside. Its numb the next day, I tried putting something cold but I didn’t feel the coldness when I put it on my lip. I’m kinda scared what should I do? 😰

Just subscribed to your channel my 11 year old daughter is getting braces Tuesday and want to be informed of all the do's and don't before she gets them.
Wow I didn’t realize in 2 weeks It’ll be one year since I got my braces! I’ve been watching your videos since I got them and You have been soo helpful on my braces journey! Tysm!! 😄😄
That numbing gel tip + warm salt water has been in heavy use this last week when I recently got a gum graft & the swelling caused my lip to develop an ulcer over a front bracket with the little stick part. That was worse than the graft site healing. It's mostly healed now, but the ulcer spot kept hooking on the bracket ;-;
i haver braces and i broke 6 brackets, a some tips 1. don't chew on any ice, or any gum, some freeze dried candy, or any gummy candies. may brake or bend brackets or wire. 2. eat freeze dried fruits like apple, bananas, pears, etc. 3. ask a ortho abt freeze dried candy or look it up. 4. stay away from biting any meatal items, will bend wires, brake brackets. 5. don't eat anything to crunchy, may brake brackets. have a nice day and that's all the tips I can give you today :)
Got braces since 2 monthes, changed my wire and the 2 elastics i got on the inside today. No pain at all. When will i have pain and see the first results? Cant wait to have a normal smile, a normal life...
I just started my 2 year journey today. These tips are amazing. Ive been reading and watching so many videos. Thankyou! And hello Sasha!!! Shes so cute!
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to get braces since as a kid. I'm educating myself on it before I get them, and your channel is a life saver. Thanks again✨
Hi your dog is so cute also I'm half way through having braces I've had braces for eight months now and have eight months left and I have to get my braces tightened on Monday or Tuesday
@Drippy codm it hurts the first 2 days but after that you'll just get used to it and I recommend using chapstick and wax it really helps! Hope this helps!
It's been 6 years since I first got my braces. For 6 years I have not been brushing my teeth enough, I've always been missing my dentist appointments, I don't get them cleaned by my dentist. Now I have cavities on every single one of my teeth they are also starting to go back to how they used to be before I had braces on.
Thank for the new video! I mention to my ortho Dr Prero that I watch your video and he said he would let you know your subscribers wanted more . Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule! Happy New Year!
My oldest is 8 and getting the top teeth done in a few weeks. I haven’t had them since a kid and want to just refresh to make her more comfortable (she’s very anxious). Thanks so much for the tips
Just got my braces yesterday...trying to come to terms with it...but the pain is not helping 😅...so came down here to do some research and found this super helpful...thankyou so much...i need the wax and numbing spray for sure...😊
I saw a comment like this and uh imma take you along on my braces journey! (I hope I remember make sure to like so I do 💀) 1/28/22- today I got impressions, pictures, and X-rays I hated the impressions, But I’m going to be getting braces on 2/24/22! Keep you updated! (I’m really excited but I know I won’t be after I get them) 2/16/22 ahh ok so 8 more days until I get braces! And my friend got braces yesterday, and I didn’t even know he was gonna get them but that’s ok, I’m also so nervous how I’m gonna look 😬 2/24/22 ok so I just got braces and they are kinda sore but yeah 3/13/22 they only stopped hurting like this week worst pain EVER- omg 😩
I got a waterpik and a oral-b IO9, but my orthodontist says they are bad, and I should instead use a manual toothbrush and interdental brushes. I'm not sure why my orthodontist feels this way, but I'm 1000% sure my oral hygiene is better with an electric toothbrush. I don't like ignoring the orthodontist's instructions, but my oral hygienist says my brushing is fantastic, so I'm thinking to maintain my current waterpik (and interdental brushes) + oral b io9 routine. I tend to brush too hard when I use a manual brush.
i think they say the electric brush is bad because it’s hard to brush the gum with the brackets on your teeth and they want to make sure your gums stay healthy during treatment. But i use an oral b io too and i haven’t had a problem either
@@joeydemama1031 good! that feeling was just for 1 week, it doesn't even feel like I have them now.. But Yesterday i got power chains to close the gap between the lower front teeth (because they extracted 1 tooth) I just felt very sore yesterday, today it's not that bad!
Call me impatient🙂, but does this mean if i keep my mouth mostly warm that the reshaping will jappen faster?... I just got mine and its a little uncomfortable
The first tip about how the wire reacts to different temperatures is so interesting, I had no idea! I'll bear that in mind as I have plentttty of adjustments ahead of me.😅Thanks so much!
Hi Dr Greg, I've had my braces for a year already and I'm still in the process of aligning my teeth. My orthodontist says that my teeth are exceptionally stubborn because I have dense bones around my teeth. Are there any other biology-related things that could prolong treatment? Have you ever had patients who have similar case to mine?
I was very frustrated as an adult to have braces put on in 2018 and I am "expected" to have completed my treatment in 2023. it's thought depending on the situation. my ortho company switched doctors on me 3 times so far and each have made different changes to my treatment. I won't be surprised if it takes longer than 2023 as it's much harder to do treatment as an adult than a younger person. Best of luck to you.
Day one with just the bracs BUT the rubber bands 💀 Today i got braces on my lower teeth and damn it probably hurt more then the first time. In 1 or 2 months im finally gonna get the rubber bands to push my lower jaw.
hey Doc! I have headgear and braces, but the wire in my braces goes through the headgear wire so I can't put the headgear in! Did they make a mistake? Please explain this.
Do you actually get your braces on the first appointment or do you have to wait and have your last meal and then on your second appointment and then you get the braces
HEYYY!!!! I may or may not get my braces soon and i am very excited but one question i have is... i love rice and i was wondering if you can eat rice?.
Had braces in 3 days and it sucks...it hurts, not like hitting your toe with a hammer, but like constant numbness in whole mouth. 2 years are a lot, but I guess the end result will be worth it. Will be a interesting food choice the next years....; yoghurt, pasta, rice, smoothie and soup... oh well, I’m not the only one in this situation))
I got Pitts 21 self ligating braces last week and i realized I dont have bands. Do you have a video talking about those and how they are different from regular braces? thank you :)
Dr. Have a question I have got my breaces in this days with my dentist which offers Ortho treatment also ..but since day one there where something fish about this office .. he doesn't find this tools that are needed he does not have what's is needed he just make me go in and my teeth are haft ways done 🤦♀️ I have been like this for 15 day .. is it normal for a orthodontist to say he doesn't have that's need 😳 can I cancel my treatment ? Please help

How does it feel ?
Thanks this helps alot … this is awesome
Thank you! Got braces a few hours ago, and the numbing gel and aspirin are wearing off. 🥺🥺🥺 But the tips are very helpful.
I'm on the waiting list does anyone know how long I'll have to wait?
What is the point of bending or flattening the wire?
Other people: eat icecream!
Me: rub an ice cube on your braces/wire.
Pls talk about having a frenectomy during your braces journey
