Thank you, this lecture will shorten my treatment period for most of my patients on elastics

Ok. You've explained exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

[@juanramirezbegines]

Gracias doctor. ¿Como coloca los elasticos para la correcion de desviaciones de linea media sin provocar inclinaciones del plano oclusal superior ni inferior?

[@nadaothman2943]

If we want to correct unilateral indivitual cross bite with cross elastic, we should place alight wire to overcome the rotation of the whole arch?

[@farhan9522]

Thank you, excellent explanation,

[@nadaothman2943]

If we want to correct unilateral indivitual crossbite with cross elastic without causing rotation to the whole arch, we should use light arch wire?

[@tranhuonglam8382]

Great presentation . Thank you Dr.!

[@alhuwaizi]

So nice of you

[@denticaltech]

Superb lecture! You made them very easy to understand
Thank you Professor.

[@alhuwaizi]

You are welcome

[@hitshot]

Does the mandible/maxilla clockwise rotation cause weaker jawline?

[@akramshaker7905]

Amazing lecture, thank you doctor.

[@alhuwaizi]

Most welcome!

[@user-ft5nf9pn2v]

thank you so much Dr. very informative and useful video 🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@alhuwaizi]

Love to help

[@terizlasong8951]

Amazing video Prof.
I have a question prof. In case of bilateral lower molar lingual inclination, can we use cross elastic bilaterally during round archwire? And will this bilateral cross elastic produce counteract moment to each other ? And what force of cross elastics would you recommend in this scenario ?
Thank you prof. Hoping to hear an answer from you.

[@alialmayyahi2300]

Amazing lec from great dr thank u so much 🙏🏻

[@alhuwaizi]

Most welcome 😊

[@maulik5986]

But, isnt these are all to be keep into mind, when using elastics in this fashion unilaterally. Do we expect this while using bilaterally?

[@at-healthy-recipes-111]

How many month it takes to bring end on molar to class I

[@kidzone2190]

Can we give unilateral class II elastics in growing children?

[@mhmduae]

wallahi you are amazing doctor and your way of explanation just great ;))

[@alhuwaizi]

Thanks for liking

[@zacharygonn1322]

Thank you sir

[@oliveolarte6434]

Can you use .018 niti for upper archwire and .016 niti for lower archwire when using crosscelastics for unilateral lingual crossbite on left side( lingual buttons on tooth 24 , 25 palatal side and hook the elastics on hooks of the brackets of lower 35 and tooth 26 to 36 likewise?

[@alhuwaizi]

Yes you can but keep watching out for vertical extrusion

[@jp-jv8fc]

Awsome doctor 👌👌

Hello I have a questrion,
My teeth/jaw position look like the picture on the right on 15:06. My orthodontist says he can do nothing about it and that this is a natural asymmetry. I thought it could be fixed with elastics. What can you say about it?

[@khemansahu7372]

I have also almost same problem but my problem is much more difficult my one side molar theeth siifted and also midline off because of that and my orthodontics said that is not a problem and put off my braces
Now in photos i have look little bit one side shifted face
And i decide to put braces again for correction of it by elastic to other orthodontics 😥

[@TheNarcisse6]

دكتور اذا حاولت اطبق ماتعلمت بدون ما اربط 7 second molar
مركز المقاومة للفك cr راح يكون جهة الناب اذا حطينا heavy gauge wire
تقريبا يعني اذا عملنا long elastic من first upper premolar to the lower 7
راح تمر القوة في الفك العلوي من cr اذا الفك يتحرك الى الخلف و الاسفل bodily mouvement without moment
اما الفك السفلي راح يكون عندنا moment كبير اذا دوران للخلف مع
molar extrusion
و يتقدم الفك السفلي للامام
يعني في حالة classe 2 div 1
Short face
Deep bite
يعوض classe 2 short
posterieur elastics
لكن عدم ربط 7 قد ينتج عليه بعض المشاكل اللي حضرتك تحدثت عليهم في فيديو آخر

[@pam411p6]

THANK YOU I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH AND i know what to expect🤗🤗😘

[@alhuwaizi]

I'm so glad!

[@subhash7408]

Great job.

[@walterfabiansantos6175]

Thanks a lot!

[@alhuwaizi]

You're welcome!

[@simontoledano8309]

Thanks for the video it inspired me to read the chapter in his book. Do you think the wearing of elastics in patients wearing aligners will have the same effects?

[@alhuwaizi]

Similar effect but you must deal with the retantion of the aligners

[@henmari6684]

Is it possible to use class II or III elastics wth NiTi wires? Or should be stst?

[@alhuwaizi]

Use with caution and light force

[@krishanasinclair9439]

Thank you sir 😊

[@LugiasMansion]

My orthodontist recently gave me elastics for 14 to 22 but didn’t explain the reason. What exactly is this fixing?

[@alhuwaizi]

It will bring the upper forward and the lower back on the left side . This may be to correct emidline shift or to close spacè

[@yousifyousif100]

Thank you Dr

[@alhuwaizi]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ahmedraad7776]

دكتور في حالة استخدمنا cross elastic on heavy gauge arch wire
هل يحدث extrusion للأسنان ام لا

[@alhuwaizi]

Yes because of the vertical forces, but the molars will not incline palatally freely

[@ahmedraad7776]

Akram Alhuwaizi زين دكتور
Heavy arch wire مراح يعتبر
ك anchorage بحيث يمنع ال extrusion

[@alhuwaizi]

@@ahmedraad7776 يمنع لا ، يقلل نعم

[@qusaialrawas1385]

يعطيك العافية دكتور
شو الفرق بين force and momentum?

[@yousifyousif100]

Qusai Alrawas moment is rotation

[@alhuwaizi]

Force قوة باتجاه
Moment زخم دوراني

[@abdulrahmanibrahimali8471]

thank u very much

[@alhuwaizi]

You are most welcome

[@malakalhuwaizi6291]

Very useful

[@at-healthy-recipes-111]

Should we use class 2 elastics while retracting with SS wire ...or there should one niti wire and one Ss ..plz clear this doubt

[@alhuwaizi]

For better control in 3D it is better to have SS in both arches

[@at-healthy-recipes-111]

@@alhuwaizi ohh Thank you so much sir,,so while i am doing enmass retraction in both arch can i give class 2 elastics?

[@alhuwaizi]

@@at-healthy-recipes-111 yes you can

[@sabasabawi6939]

than dr
is this for graduated?

[@alhuwaizi]

Yes postgraduate students

[@omarfadaam5482]

[@cleit1802]

Greetings doc, does this make your jawline smaller or maxilla smaller?

[@alhuwaizi]

No
