Thank you so much Dr.Nate. I spent nearly 5 years at Dental School without properly understanding the concepts of rubber bands but finally, I have tremendously improved. Your videos are awesome. Keep sharing more Videos
Thank so much Dr. Nathan for this very important educational videos! I am at your side assistance in Canada and transitioning to Ortho and it’s very helpful and easy to understand! Thank you again!
Thank you so much for the Ortho Video's definetly keep filming your videos are the best thanks for the recap I needed this! Finally going back to ortho and couldn't find any other videos that were straight to the point but yours! I appreciate you thank you!!
My orthodontist doesn’t explain anything they just do stuff. What does it mean if you have an overbite but have class three elastic on the left side and class two on the left.
Hello! thanks for the video. I am on braces now because I do have overjet teeth. I have been told by my ortho to put the rubber bands just at night to push back the upper teeth and bring out the lower teeth. But I have been wearing it over 6 months and whenever i remove the rubber bands during the day for maybe 12 hours, the upper teeth starts to shift out a little. Any advise on that as my teeth is actually ready to remove braces and to put retainers.
I got class 3 for a case of overjet !! Altho I told my othro that it makes no sense he said it's because my teeth are titled ..but I am doing class 2 as you said by myself ..I don't know what he'll say
Hi, I was wondering how much class III elastics move teeth per month on average, when it comes to the space between the arches? Do class III elastics also even out sides if one side is bigger than the other, and thus fix the midline?
I have penguin elastics :) such a cute name! Mine are currently not in any of the formations mentioned here. I started on canine to canine, now have to initially hook my elastic on the third tooth back from the canine over the hooks of the upper canine and attach to the lower canine. Sort of like an L shape inverted. I assume it's because it brings my jaw forward to fix my bite :)
I have class2 rubber bands but after that my upper teeth got slantly inward, like the top front teeth has concaved and they don’t look start. Can you please suggest solution to it?
I got my upper wite changed and triangle rubber bands yesterday. Do you think I still have much time left to wear braces if i got triangle shape? I forgot to ask my dentist. Great job by the way!
How does your bite stay in place after elastics are removed and you don’t have to worry anymore? No one has been able to answer that question. I’m getting worried.
I noticed in every video I watch about elastic. The elastics are placed on teeth that are part of the horizontal wire that I have in my upper teeth. My dentist is making wear the elastic in teeth that are not part of the horizontal wire and I see the elastic is pulling my teeth off my gums like a self extraction.!!...my question is. Are these elastics only to be put on on the teeth that are part of the horizontal wire because this is not how I have it in the teeth??
so i have an upside down triangle on the right side and on my left side i have it hooked on the upper canine and the lower one. Is that something you’ve typically seen and what does it do? I haven’t seen videos with it showing that technique.
Hi Dr. 1_ usually at what stage of treatment you ask your pat. to use the elastics? 2_ at what type of wire we can use them..and at what guage? 3_ are they useful in adult pat. and can acheive good result ? thank you so much Dr. God bless you.

Braces are so amazing, like how did doctors discover to do this 😭
Excellent teacher. Thank you Dr.Nathan
Thank you so much, Dr. Nate. nice and helpful video.!!!
So I was hired, now back to training 😁 Great to know where to place those rubber bands. You should make your next video on how to place ligature tie.
Will do!

Omg first one here love your videos 😍
Yay! Thank you!
I'm new here I have an question I'm getting my braces this year and I want to know do they give you rubber bands when you get you're braces on.
Typically not the first visit but eventually they will
I don’t have an open bite, I have an overjet/overbite, but they put me on triangle bands? Will that also fix an overbite/jet?
Typically no but they may be trying to do something else.
@@ThriveDentist That’s really the only thing left of my treatment, it’s been over 2 years. I’ll ask next visit i guess.
I have class2 rubber bands but after that my upper teeth got slantly inward, like the top front teeth has concaved and they don’t look start. Can you please suggest solution to it?
Thank you for sharing this knowledge :)
My pleasure!
I got my upper wite changed and triangle rubber bands yesterday. Do you think I still have much time left to wear braces if i got triangle shape? I forgot to ask my dentist. Great job by the way!
Tough to tell. I would just ask your orthodontist and I'm sure they can tell you.
How does your bite stay in place after elastics are removed and you don’t have to worry anymore? No one has been able to answer that question. I’m getting worried.
the braces and retainer is how
Does the rubber bands for class three move the teeth only or your whole jaw back?
I noticed in every video I watch about elastic. The elastics are placed on teeth that are part of the horizontal wire that I have in my upper teeth. My dentist is making wear the elastic in teeth that are not part of the horizontal wire and I see the elastic is pulling my teeth off my gums like a self extraction.!!...my question is.

I'm doing triangle 🔺️ left and right. I'm 5 months from debrace
Dr Nate - just keep smiling 🙂 I’m here in awe 🫢 and cannot wait for these damn braces to come off! 2024 😐
so i have an upside down triangle on the right side and on my left side i have it hooked on the upper canine and the lower one. Is that something you’ve typically seen and what does it do? I haven’t seen videos with it showing that technique.
I'm extremely late sorry but the upside down triangle is to bring your teeth together! Usually for open bites
I have to wear the triangles 😩
hey doc are your teeth veneers or not?
@nd question: Do most dentist use veneers themselves?
They are mine :)
Oh! Please do a video on ligature ties and kobayashi hooks
Oh, good idea!
@@ThriveDentist thanks doc
You think there’s a difference between latex and non latex rubber bands. I feel my non latex feel less resistant than their latex counterpart
Hi Dr.
1_ usually at what stage of treatment you ask your pat. to use the elastics?
2_ at what type of wire we can use them..and at what guage?
3_ are they useful in adult pat. and can acheive good result ?
thank you so much Dr.
God bless you.
Hii can you tell me about associates please and at how many places we can be an associate
Thanks
Like can we be an associate at 30 clinics as well
Yes you can. There is no limit.
Been wearing my rubber bands for like 6 weeks and I don’t see a bit of movement….😢
It’s only been 6 weeks man chill
I have monkey rubber bands
Do you require masks at your place?
You kinda look like a younger version of president-elect Joe Biden.
