@@elsewayy Honestly, the most vital thing I can tell you is to do what your orthodontist tells you. All my friends complained theirs were on for so long, but it’s because they didn’t listen. Granted, my case wasn’t too bad overall and I only had them for a year, but the end result of getting them off is so worth it.
This helped a lot. I got braces at 66 years-old on September 2020. I’m wearing rubber bands so the teeth in the back upper and lowers come together like your sample in #2 mentioned. I’m almost there.
I’m 9 months into a 20 month sentence and just received elastics last week. I’m wearing them as much as I can because I’m excited to see the changes. My midline is off and I still have gaps between my upper canines and incisors. Hopefully they close quickly.
I hate my teeth even after 2 years with braces. All my teeth are oddly shaped one of them is circular and tiny and the rest are square or oval. 😔 my orthodontist said I should thank my parents when I asked if he’d be able to re-shape them. I feel so insecure about my teeth I don’t know what to do
I’m wearing my bands in a box manner now to fix the 2nd point mentioned. But my overbite and overjet seem to be good. I’m hoping to take my braces off in the next couple of months
I know the struggle! I was told 18 months too, its been 24 months so far and I still have appointments for few next months no sight of them coming off soon, so frustrating 😅
I just got my braces today and I already want it to be over. My teeth are naturally straight honestly however there is an overbite and 1-2 crooked teeth on the bottom row but they dont cause me any problems. I was told I had a mild case of "overcrowding". My doctor estimated that I could get my braces off within 15 months (which is just an average from other patients with similar problems) but school is starting soon, and I would like to get them off in about 2-3 months. I know that seems impossible, but I was content with my smile in the first place and I think that might be enough time to get those 2 little teeth in a straighter position. I'm no orthodontist so if anyone has any tips or advice for a first-timer or if you truly think that I will be able to get my braces off before school starts, let me know please! This is something that slipped my mind while I was at the clinic.
I’m getting my braces off soon now I need to wear rubber bands on both sides for a week and it’s painful I just had rubber bands on one side. The rubber bands I have now are more breakable and more heavier the one I had before were the complete opposite. And the one I also have keep snapping which is annoying at least I won’t have braces for prom and my exams, I only have braces for 18 months ( a years and 6 months)
I have had my braces for over 2 years now. My front tooth has come down and what was left of my gap has been filled as much as possible. My left lateral incisor was the problem but has moved down when it was originally positioned up. I had both of my second premolar teeth removed so my lateral incisor could move down. I don't think the gap that was originally made after having second premolar teeth removed can be filled by just the first premolar and my lateral incisor. Every time I ask how long will the treatment take I only get met with a vague response and just get told to wear my elastics when I do wear them. I know the Orthodontist knows best but right now I feel like they are purposely avoiding my question I have been asking them for a year when I ask them my question politely.
I’m currently in my treatment I’m 6 months in. My teeth look great. But I may have to cut the process short, since I’ll be joining the military. Do you think I can jump to Invisalign instead of traditional braces?
Thank you I have braces and I don't like too much overjet I feel like it's overbite I don't like no flair to my teeth they feel pointy I would rather my teeth be wide and flat than to be curved and pointy in the front
Hello! My son got braces 6 months ago( simple case, just for 3 slightly rotated fronth upper teeth) he had a perfect bite( a liitle overjet, a little overbite) and now his bite is really off, although those 3 teeth are still crooked, they didn't budge! I know you'd advise me to ask his orthodontist, but i already did and all she always says is: "there are stages" "teeth move in stages" ....ehat should I do? Thank you, doctor!
Hi thanks for the video, how often do I need to do my adjustments, I have my braces for 1 year already but the appointment's that they give me are every 45 days, I feel that's to long..
I hope someone replies to you! I feel the same way. My appointments are (every two months….Now I’m not sure if that’s because I just got mine on but that’s how far they have scheduled me every two months)… I don’t like that. I want these things off ASAP lol and I am adhering to all the rules even with the stupid rubber bands lol
Hi doc, I am not satisfied with the results of my braces and miss my old teeth. I have a video showing my teeth before braces. I'm considering switching to another dentist. Doctor, could you please advise me? Is it possible to revert my teeth to their original position?
After i get braces off my teeth still looks very bad doctor said i nèed crown veeners will not help .. if i get crown can i wear a retainer or do i need one .. will my teeth move again
My class one canine occlusion does not really perfectly match BUT my mid line is perfect? What does that mean? I’ve had my rubber bands on for a long time
Same and i'm supposed to get them off next week... I wonder if my ortho is aware of the little space i have between my canine and lower canine and 1st premolar, cuz when i checked i doesnt fit exactly like he showed 😭
@@ThriveDentist like the in Invisalign ? Or the metal wire on the back of the teeth ? I’ve had mine on for 1 year now and I’m on to the bendy wires detailing how long you figure. My ortho won’t tell me bi guess he wants it to be a surprise. Great content cheers
Hi I didn't go to my dentist for my braces adjustment for almost a year, because Im suffering financially. I'm going crazy that my teeth will become worst idunno
Idk if anyone can asnwer this but ok so i have all three things now after almost 2 years of braces but i have that black triangle between my middle upper and lower teeth and i am worried that its going to stay like that after i get braces off
*me chilling here 12 hours before my braces are supposed to be coming off*
How is it now
@@aubreyfrank3312 very relieving.
@@ashleyvieville8518 how does it feel to finally have them off? i got mine yesterday and im sure i don’t even have to tell you what it feels like 😂

@@ashleyvieville8518 that’s very awesome to hear! i definitely will be very cooperative with my orthodontist. Thanks for responding, Ashleyyyyy😄

Thank you for talking about overbite. I wanted my upper jaw to be exactly aligned with my bottom jaw
My braces are already off. I've become OBSESSED with braces content!
I’m 9 months into a 20 month sentence and just received elastics last week. I’m wearing them as much as I can because I’m excited to see the changes. My midline is off and I still have gaps between my upper canines and incisors. Hopefully they close quickly.
1 month let to go!😁😁
update?
I’m nervous they’re not going to look how I want 😭 but I’m getting them off in March and I’m just worried I didn’t do everything I should’ve
How’d they turn out
So….?
@@stephanieemmm I’m confused
I was waiting for an update/ answer from them.
Sorry for the misunderstanding
Im getting mines off tomorrow!!
So r they good now
I've had my braces for 2 days now and they are terrible I can't wait for it to be over lol
I just got my braces but im already watching this hahaha something to keep in mind for the next months
You explained it perfectly , thank you

Crowns I guess. I have a problem of too small teeth - doc told me crowns fix teeth shape but also help retain new teeth alignment
Nothing in this world is perfect. Love yourself the way you are
Getting mine in soon to improve my comfort and health. Not too worried about looks! I have had jaw issues for a very long time though, huge overbite.
I’m wearing my bands in a box manner now to fix the 2nd point mentioned. But my overbite and overjet seem to be good. I’m hoping to take my braces off in the next couple of months
chilling here getting my braces off in 12 hours after having them for 25 months after being told id have them for 18 😜
I know the struggle! I was told 18 months too, its been 24 months so far and I still have appointments for few next months no sight of them coming off soon, so frustrating 😅
@@misswiktoria mine are off now thank god. it’s so nice to eat properly! i hope
you get yours off soon! 😁
@@misswiktoria my dentist id have it for 3 years
i dought it cause he is already at detailing staage
i’ve had braces for nearly 4 years now and i’m getting them off at the end of the year 😭
Gosh 4 years is too long I am having doubt about mine too it's been one year and I saw minor changes
Great video! Was looking for this!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Great and clear explanation. Thank you!
This was so helpful
Awwwww middle line not aligned 🥺 running to go put my rubber bands on lol

Why is a small gap forming minutes after taking my retainer off?!

Bro flexing his teeth so hard
I love your videos already really helpful 🎉💖
Can u do a video about how know when to get ur braces off but with younger kids like me I only lost 8 teeth
almost done 😭

jus dont wear ur retainers, they will go back
Next month will be my 1 year and it’s mostly one tooth that is still not straight yet 🙄
So mine r coming off in 11weeks but the mid line isn't matched up
I’m getting mine off next month!
What happened if the orthodontist wants to remove the ortho treatment before this is achieved????!
Thanks!
It's been 4 years😭
After i get braces off my teeth still looks very bad doctor said i nèed crown veeners will not help .. if i get crown can i wear a retainer or do i need one .. will my teeth move again

Which retainers do you recommend or does it depend on each individual?
I personally like the clear ones the best.

Great content cheers
Can I just go to my dentist and tell him to remove my braces whenever I want?
I've been in braces for 20 months now
most of time i dont even notice that im wearing it
but i wnt to take it off

Hi I didn't go to my dentist for my braces adjustment for almost a year, because Im suffering financially. I'm going crazy that my teeth will become worst idunno
Is enameloplasty bad or teeth in the long run ? Please be 100% honest because I am think to go for it ...
I did it on myself and on my wife so I believe it's safe if done minimally.
Sir how much dental student loans do you have? Nice video.
Idk if anyone can asnwer this but ok so i have all three things now after almost 2 years of braces but i have that black triangle between my middle upper and lower teeth and i am worried that its going to stay like that after i get braces off
Thank you so much for the information.
I’ve had my braces since year 9 (14) I’m now doing a masters (21) Hopefully they’re off tomorrow, but no hope.
You will have lost a lot of root length, 1mm per year of wearing braces!
i just put mine on 11 hours ago and it hurts like hell lol
You got a long way to go
Power chains and rubber bands hurt so bad
The pain gets better. Take aspirin of some type. You should see a difference at 3-5 months. Remember they look worse before they look better.
After awhile the pain you might feel won’t bother you after each adjustment
Im off braces but my tooth is still not allign what to do
Mine is not class 1, but I'm getting my braces off.
me when i got all those perfect but i still dont have my braces off
