Don't get Braces!

  • Braces may just be a cover up for the real underyling issues. You should be told what they are and how to fix them before you simply straighten teeth. You may be doing nothing for the health of your face and jaws, all in the name of cosmetics. And many times, that won't be stable for long.

    The 4 teeth removed before braces probably had something to do with the joint pain.

      you can get joint issues and airway issues just from the braces alone. Braces puts pressure that stunts jaw growth and eventually leads to guaranteed wisdom teeth impaction. We are all meant to fit all of our 32 teeth.

      additionally braces alters jaw positioning which does harm the joints sometimes and leads to tmjd.

      Lots of symptoms are due to deficient development. Braces just don’t fix anything other than the cosmetic issue most of the time.

    I was supposed to get braces and extractions, but I was so non-compliant that I had to be sedated even for a cleaning and already refusing foods that would stick to/between my teeth (parents were worried that I'd stop eating altogether with braces). I dodged a bullet alright.
    I'm not a dentist, but learning that retainers were for life made it clear to me that braces and retention were a band-aid.

    Great and honest video. I am about to get braces put on in a week. I just got a cephalometric x-ray which she reviewed with me. She commented that my lower jaw is slightly forward. Some of my teeth currently hit (interfere) a bit (per my dentist) which is the only reason why I am getting them. Cosmetically I don't care and they are not too bad (had braces when I was younger.) I am also missing the tooth that sits just in front of my back top molar. She said she can move it forward 1 full space- seems like a log (1/2"?)
    What questions should I ask her to make sure I don't have future structural, joint/airway issues as a results of the braces? Is there a test or way to know? Do you do consults if I send you the X-Rays? If you want to contact me, my email is in my channel, under About.

    • @BreatheMD
      @BreatheMD  3 роки тому +2

      Evening, great questions. The most common cause of what you’re describing is a deficiently sized maxilla which means the upper jaw is undersized. This is what normally creates an issue with front teeth hitting one another. When we take records, we take a 3D conebeam CT and along with the patients photos and scan of their teeth. Those records are sent to the Facial Beauty Institute for evaluation of your skeletal relationship (upper and lower jaw). With this info, we know how to properly develop or remodel the upper jaw to align the bite, ensuring the joints and airway (etc) are all properly aligned. Without those details, we couldn’t send off for your evaluation. A cephalometric x-ray wouldn’t suffice for the radiologists and evaluation of your tracings. We’d be happy to help if there was a way you could gather that info but not all practices will even have a conebeam CT at this time. -dr j

      @@BreatheMD Thank you very much. I spoke with her today and she said I was fine. She said my arch would only get bigger so if anything I would breathe better. She said those other structural issues are usually more of a concern when you pull teeth and the arch gets smaller. She looked at a full set of xrays (18) and the cephalometric xray and said this is going to help me on multiple fronts. I think it is a cone beam- very modern looking machine. I saw the image- had the whole side of my head, neck, up to my ear level. She has mostly all 5 star reviews from my local town. She is confident and seems extremely competent (strong educational credentials too) so I believe I am in good hands. She is also working in concert with my amazing local dentist- he also gave the greenlight. Regardless, I really appreciate you making me aware to even ask these types of questions. Everyone thinks of the cosmetic benefits but you brought up far more important considerations. They go on Thursday- clear on top, metal on bottom.
