Love the channel, my orthodontist always says words that i don’t understand and your videos help me understand what is happening in my brace treatment. :)
I'm 4:30 in and so far you've perfectly described my teeth situation. Including the teeth aggrivating the inner gum behind my teeth. I thought I was unique 😂
I’m having my braces removed next month but I do remember in the beginning I had a bite plate to correct my deep bite for months (annoyed the hell out of me). My upper teeth still cover my lower just a smudge and I was worried that the treatment wasn’t completed but you mention how a little protruding is good. I never asked about the specifics about a deep bite so I’m glad you posted a video of it for others to learn.
I already have braces, I fixed my overbite so why am I watching? Because I love Dr.Greg so much!! Seriously, thank you for all your great videos and helpful information ♡
@@gurkaran9871 I had the bite plate for 6 months, from July 2019 to January 2020. And then I got full braces. As for my overbite, it's much better that it was before because now I have a nice even bite, but as for my treatment time, I still have to wear it for 2-3 more years I guess
@@kamelea_roze4069 ....i have 1cm overbite😭....but my face is attractive, when girls pass me smile i just ignore them...my smile is worst...may braces work for me😞😞
@@gurkaran9871 I feel you. I too had the worst smile in my opinion, but people told me it was beautiful. My overbite wasn't very obvious, I myself didn't even know about it! But now I love my braces so much and I can't stand the idea of them being taken away at some point :( I wish you all the best in your braces journey. Don't worry much, it will work! Just keep in mind that all the pain and discomfort is worth it at the end :)) ♡
I am part of the braces club and have watched all your videos under your other page. I am currently 1 month in . So excited. Three more of my teeth will be pulled . I have a lot of crowding and an overbite
Braces Explained so I have an overbite and I can move my jaw forward and backwards freely and I can make it look like I have an under bite but I have an overbite is it normal to be able to move your jaw freely? I’m getting braces to fix my over bite but I can easily fix it manually
This was ssoooo helpful! Three of my immediate family have braces...myself and my two kids. I find that my orthodontist, whose clientele is mostly pediatric, is not used to answering questions about what they are doing for that visit. The staff doesn’t seem to have the technical details either so your videos explain to me and also helps me know what questions to ask. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your videos, I truly appreciate you taking time out your day to explain your videos. I now learn more about my deep bite and what to talk about with my orthodontist. God bless you
I’m 24 and getting my carriere appliance next week! I was initially going to have Invisalign after, but because of covid I decided to have fixed braces 😁 I’m nervous but also excited! I didn’t have braces as a kid because my parents thought my teeth were straight enough
Deep bite don’t look too bad when you smile but this is exactly what also happened to me, my parents didn’t see that my lower teeth were biting into my upper gums, now my braces will even everything out😊
Addy Roblox me too. I’ve had 2 appliances and I still have one in right now, my appliance fell out a lot because they didn’t glue it in and the rings aren’t tight enough, and I have to have my braces for at least 3 years.
i had a deep bite and over jet, my top gums behind my two front teeth on the top just hurt so much i couldnt even chew.. im getting braces next month! i also still have my overbite, to the people that dont have one, you are actually quite lucky.
I'm 23. I have a deep overbite. You can't see my bottom teeth, they dig into the roof of my mouth, and my front teeth curve into my bottom, my orthodontist said I have a severe overbite and I'm damaging my teeth. My dentist said I'm already on my way to TMJ if I don't get it fixed by braces. Hopefully will get them by the end of this year! 😊
How is it going? I have a deepbite also and my upperteeth are not straight at all. I want braces, but I am afraid. They sandale I would need jaw surgery after and I Reilly don't want that😢
Hi Dr Greg! Love the videos, really helping me to stay informed and clued up with my personal orthodontic journey. I had my braces fitted a week ago and got bite blocks on two molars on my upper arch. I feel pain in my right molars when putting pressure on it - similar to the pain a cavity brings, but no pain in the other side. Is this normal?
Omg yayyy!!!! So excited for this video since the last and you said you would do one eventually!!! This makes everything make so much sense!! I go Monday to get my RCOS wires and I’m super excited. Before with my crooked teeth I really didn’t notice how high the bottom front teeth were compared to the rest, but now I definitely see it. Thank you so much!!! Going to the braces club now to sign up. Also, I invested in the waterpic when I first got my braces out on and that thing is AMAZING!!! I still use regular floss a few times a week, but the water pick makes it so much easier!!
Thank u so much for these videos! You do an amazing job explaining the whole orthodontic process, I have a really deep bite and am now having braces put on for the 2nd time in my life so really appreciate u explaining this:)
Dr Greg your videos have been so insightful and helped me so much in my braces journey:). I wanted to share my concern as my lower incisors have become longer than before as my gums are pushed down and become really sensitive now, what should I do for this problem and also what kind of retainers should I get?
I got braces, where my ortho claimed that my treatment(which was for good smile) could be done by putting wire on upper arch only. 11months into treatment my bite worsened. I had class 1 bite. I didn’t have a deep bite but yes ,My front teeth hit my bottom ones at back somewhere in 3/4th height. Now i have got overbite/deepbite (80% lower incisors covered by upper incisors) only one teeth touch bottom ones. And rest on my lower lips day and night. My face also changed.
I have overbite and overjet and I just had my braces yesterday. It's my 2nd treatment already. My first treatment I had to have my braces removed because I needed to move somewhere which was 3yrs ago. I have bite turbos now on my upper molars but during my first treatment it was placed on my lower molars. I've forgotten how frustrating bite turbos were. Hopefully, I'll get used to it soon. Also, thanks for your videos! Before I had no idea what's happening during my treatment but now I understand what will happen.
I’m in braces now for just a little over a year and a half preparing for surgery for my deep bite. My bottom teeth hit the roof of my mouth. Can’t wait for surgery. It was the only thing they could do to fix it.
I'm towards the end of my orthodontic treatment...at least I hope. However, the three months that I didn't get to see my ortho....now he says I may need to extend treatment. I was scheduled for a two-year treatment and this month marks my second FULL year of braces. I REALLY don't want to continue with my treatment because I have had enough of braces to last me a lifetime. HOWEVER, I do not want to risk my teeth shifting back to the unaligned mess that they were......so, Doc, will my teeth do that if I decide to not extend my treatment? Keep in mind that I didn't see my ortho for three months....so, I am assuming I still have three more visits left until my actual "two years" are up. -Amanda Thank you for the like.......just got told today by my Ortho only three more months.....which means three more visits yay! My question was answered
Those three months will likely be to finish and set everything into their desired place, let it happen, they surely are trying to do the best they can for your case! I hope it ends up wonderfully how you wanted it to be! Truly. Lol I know the hassles very well.
Nice explanation dr. Greg, Im wearing elastics for a month now, trying to fix deepbite, things make more sense now. Btw, in the recent times, a thing called Mewing is becoming more and more popular on the internet, basically it is a theory by which a tounge posture can affect the development of the teeth and overall facial structure. The problem with it is, most people who are talking about such thing are just common everyday folk. So I was wondering if a professional such as you, can give his thoughts about that practice..
My Orthodontic said I had a false underbite and that one of my teeth was causing it or something and recommended an extraction that no one would be able to see once they gap closes. I’ll see how it all goes.
32 years old here with a upper impacted canine and an upper snaggle canine .. just started my braces journey 3 weeks ago,,, I see no changes at all ... hopefully my teeth will start shifting since I passed the magic number ☹️
Thank you for the video explanation and all your other videos as well, they help me understand my braces a lot better! Let me give you some of my knowledge in return. The pop filter in front of your mic isn't for reverb, it's for filtering out P's and B's that are usually bursts of air which would make it sound like you're tapping on the mic (which is hard to listen to)
I have asked about that one time and time again, he replied once saying it was in the playbook - but haven't seen it yet. I wore the carriere for 8 months...
I also once have deep bite and a tooth which is pushed back (idk the term 😅) so I had coil spring on for a couple of months. And I started wearing my bite plate July 21, and it’s just so amazing because i saw how fast the progress is! (i got obsessed checking my teeth everyday & was taking a lot of pictures! 😂) And just last week August 18 to be exact, I had my monthly adjustment and she was also amazed how fast the pushed back tooth came out! I mean the bracket is already pushing out the coil spring 😂 Also, I now have normal bite so yea it was so amazing!!!!!! I thought I have to wear the bite plate for a couple of months and to my surprise, it didn’t even take a month 😂
Wow because of this video I've realized the cause of my overbite is the curve of spee.. i always wondered why my lower left incisors kinda curved that way.. my orthodontist kinda repositioned the bracket on my incisor so that it would erupt a little more to straighten that curve of spee
Your videos are very informative. I changed my orthodontist three times because I was not happy with the treatment plan. Just removed my braces 2 weeks ago and I guess I have to accept that no treatment plan is perfect. I still have a little bit of over-jet and protrusion but that's fine.
I had to get a Herbst put in or the second time. my orthodontist messed up and got glue in my gums, yadayadayada. 6 months later, antibiotics, and a lot of pain later. I have it back in. he didn't apologize at all.
I have been on braces for more than a year now, we found out later that I have allergy to elastics so it'll definitely wont work. My ortho recommends to extract 3 teeth, 2 upper, 1 below. I'm not sure if I need to push it thru or just accept the changes been made on my overbite. So far so much has change but my front teeth still protrudes. Any thoughts?
@@adarijohnson if you dont have any other commitments soon, you should go with what ur dentist said. My dentist said that it could take a while before the teeth adjust. Maybe 3-4 months, it will hurt, you will have difficulty in eating and talking buuuttt all of it will be worth it. I actually was waiting for an employment opportunity before but this year I confirmed that I cannot go through so I did not push through with it at first. I'm planning to talk with her now that I'm not going elsewhere.
@@jiyujinsano7917 she didn’t rlly mention any other commitments yet she said she’ll talk about it w my mom next time . But yesterday when I went ( I have an overbite so my top teeth cover my bottom & it’s not aligned n stuff ) They put sum type of glue on the roof of my mouth to prevent my top from covering my bottom And it feels weird & it’s already hard to it bc it’s not the way my teeth naturally fall. & my tongue is crowded 😭 But thank u for ur advice . I think I’ll get them removed & my teeth should have adjusted by the time school starts 😣
Hey! Can overbite be treated without extraction? Actually I've overbite and my orthodontics suggested me 4 premolars extraction but I want to correct it with any other process. So pls let me know. And does palatal expansion can treat overbite?
I have a major deep bite, I'm wearing braces and bite plate since 6 months. Now my 2 upper premolars are extracted. Hope to get back a good smile asap😊
Can you make a video on crowns and braces. Wondering if the movement of teeth will ruin the crown placement. I need to get some fillings done but dentist said to do crowns instead because is on my molars.
hey dr. greg! i had a question, my jaw cracks everytime i open it up to full expansion or even sometimes when im eating like biting into food. It started with the left side then both sides were cracking but now only my right side "cracks". Im getting braces thursday and i've looked it up and they say that maybe its bc my teeth are misaligned, do you know anything about this, thanks!
Bro where are you ? I feel like my teeth are really bad 💔I have a deep bite I think that’s what it’s called my top row front teeth are over lapping my bottom. The top of my front teeth are long.🤦🏽♀️I can’t change nothing from having long front teeth .
hello dr, if the overbite is caused by the lower jaw which is smaller and positioned too far back compared to the upper jaw can it also caused overbite?and can braces fix it?thank you
You mentioned how to correct a deep bite caused by the BOTTOM teeth coming up too far, and briefly mentioned that the top teeth overextruding (or whatever it's called) can cause a deep bite, but how do you correct that exactly? When it's the top teeth that are the problem? That's my issue because I have the gummy smile you mentioned.
I've been told I had an overbite by many orthodontist my whole life then I finally went to see a surgeon and they corrected me and explained I actually had an over jet. I wonder why I was told the wrong thing my whole life...
This is exactly my case right now! Am going on a invisalign journey soon, do you think invisalign will be as effective to fix this overbite and curve of spee?
I am almost 60 and I developed an extreme overbite and overjet a couple of years ago after getting diabetes. I don't know if my back teeth got shorter but I do know trying to sleep facedown so I could breathe has let my bottom teeth push my top front teeth out like crazy. So, I was wondering if what you suggested in the video like letting the back teeth erupt more is better for growing people or applies equally to old people who always had perfectly straight teeth without braces for the first 55 years of their life. Thanks.
I don't know you have discussed it or not, but I want to ask what is the difference in function / result from using power chain and closed coil spring *sorry my english is not really good*
@@DrGregAsatrian could u also make a video on torque in orthodontics..like how we can bring the tooth in upward position if its flaring toomuch..love ur videos btw..thx
I went to my orthodontist 3 days ago to get my elastics to fix my crossbite. I always thought I had an overbite but I don't. My brother has an underbite I think
True should’ve watched the video first 😂🤷🏾♀️ but what about how teeth develop to be out of place for example if you’re a baby or toddler and your teeth are perfectly straight then why did they crowd later on 🤔👏🏽👏🏽
I have bite turbos, the orthodontist called them bite ramps, on my Invisalign. I knew they were for overbite correction but I never understood how they work just that my top stopping feeling sore within a couple of hours of getting them.
I have an overbite but I’m unsure how my orthodontist will go about treating it yet, I had a tooth they had to get pulled forward first so I think they will start focusing on that now lucky for me my overbite isn’t really a big issue to me it doesn’t hurt my mouth or anything it just seems I can accidentally bite my cheek or mouth more when chewing because I honestly forget my teeth are that way
Great video! Is it safe for orthodontist to use bands for overbite on teeth that have restorative work ? I’m a little worried to start elastics next week. The last bracket is on an upper bridge (the first crown) and I believe the elastic will be hooked on that tooth that bridged (upper) to lower tooth that has a root canal & crown. It’s a lot I know! How worried should I be?
im getting my braces in 3 weeks i was really nervous when I first found out I was getting braces then I started watching your channel and I wasn't that nervous anymore :)
Hi dr Greg can you make a video on how to use the orthodontic wax..how to dry my mouth properly? How frequently should i change it? Do i keep it in all the time..eating,sleeping etc..how much should I use is it too much or too little.. I just got my brace yesterday..thanks!
Take them out when ur eating. But if you forgot to take them out and if your swallow them you should be fine. I left it on while I was sleeping it kinda speeds up the healing.
You repeatedly mentioned lose applicants like byteplates etc.. But it seems that they are mostly combined with full fixed braces. As I mentioned before I am searching for examples, where a small overbite is corrected with an activator in adult age. There are typically "bite-on" activators which form an bitebed between upper and lower jaw. The teeth should match against this bitebed during wearing this apparatus. It may be combined with a chin-head-cap to press the jaws together. Especially in the night. If I would do a third orthodontic treatment, I would like to get such an tool. Curious how it feels. And to keep it as orthodontic costume gadget over the time of treatment. Perhaps you do not practices this technique. But you could search for information about it and tell something about it.
I have overbite as per my Ortho, and suggested to remove some teeth in my upper jaw to correct it, but I'm still afraid because I'm thinking that I will have to give up my teeth just to correct it. Do you recommend this also Dr. Greg? Removing teeth to correct the overbite? I would appreciate if you would answer it. Thank you! 🙂 Greetings from the Philippines!
I have a pretty bad overbite. My incisors pretty much completely overlap. I've never had gum issues, but I do have a chip in one of my lower incisors that may be a result of the overbite. I have upper arch braces right now and go for my first adjustment next week. Hopefully I'll be able to get lower arch braces soon, but first my upper teeth need to move some so they don't knock brackets off my lower ones.
I had bite turbos a the beginning of my braces but they had to put cement at my molars because I would clench my teeth at night because had that irritates at my jaw
I had my braces 7 months ago.and i had overbite and uneven teeth. Bt now my orthodontist said that my teeths ar now fine and i can remove my braces. but I'm NOT happy about my result.i still have overbite. What can i do? Please help
Hey... thank you for this video, it's very insightful. What happens if your teeth appear straight but you have an overbite because of a protruding jar. Would you still see an orthodontist for this or you'd have to see another specialist?
So I am getting my braces on on the 3rd and they said I have an overbite AND overjet so would they be able to fix both at the same time or would they have to do one first?
Love the channel, my orthodontist always says words that i don’t understand and your videos help me understand what is happening in my brace treatment. :)

Monica xo thank you, on my 3rd day now, good luck with the braces
Love your videos, it’s new to me, look forward to seeing more. Thank you !
can you do another fixed bite plate video because the bite plate is giving me a gap in the front 2 teeth and my jaw shifted
Thank you for the video explanation and all your other videos as well, they help me understand my braces a lot better! Let me give you some of my knowledge in return. The pop filter in front of your mic isn't for reverb, it's for filtering out P's and B's that are usually bursts of air which would make it sound like you're tapping on the mic (which is hard to listen to)
i’m hoping he’ll talk about the carriere appliance that makes space in the mouth
I have asked about that one time and time again, he replied once saying it was in the playbook - but haven't seen it yet. I wore the carriere for 8 months...
br10offixial yikes I’ve not heard of that appliance 🤷🏻♀️ I’m 8 months in tho...
Mrs K ive had the carriers since june i have it december
This video is so helpful! Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
Great guy with great explanation . Much respect from italy
I also once have deep bite and a tooth which is pushed back (idk the term 😅) so I had coil spring on for a couple of months. And I started wearing my bite plate July 21, and it’s just so amazing because i saw how fast the progress is! (i got obsessed checking my teeth everyday & was taking a lot of pictures! 😂) And just last week August 18 to be exact, I had my monthly adjustment and she was also amazed how fast the pushed back tooth came out! I mean the bracket is already pushing out the coil spring 😂 Also, I now have normal bite so yea it was so amazing!!!!!! I thought I have to wear the bite plate for a couple of months and to my surprise, it didn’t even take a month 😂
Thanks for this video, It helps a lot. Doc Greg. ☺️
Of course! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow because of this video I've realized the cause of my overbite is the curve of spee.. i always wondered why my lower left incisors kinda curved that way.. my orthodontist kinda repositioned the bracket on my incisor so that it would erupt a little more to straighten that curve of spee
Amazing content! I'd like to see more on how you would work on different sizes and positions of gaps
Can i have a video specialy for crossbite
Your videos are very informative. I changed my orthodontist three times because I was not happy with the treatment plan. Just removed my braces 2 weeks ago and I guess I have to accept that no treatment plan is perfect. I still have a little bit of over-jet and protrusion but that's fine.
appreciate ur efforts man, nice video
I had to get a Herbst put in or the second time. my orthodontist messed up and got glue in my gums, yadayadayada. 6 months later, antibiotics, and a lot of pain later. I have it back in. he didn't apologize at all.
OMG I love Ali Abdaal also! Both of your channels add so much value to my life :)
He's the best! Ahh so grateful that I'm able to add value!!
I have been on braces for more than a year now, we found out later that I have allergy to elastics so it'll definitely wont work. My ortho recommends to extract 3 teeth, 2 upper, 1 below. I'm not sure if I need to push it thru or just accept the changes been made on my overbite. So far so much has change but my front teeth still protrudes. Any thoughts?
What did u end up doing .. my ortho is saying the same but only extracting 2 molars( if I decide to go thru w it) I’ve had braces for 3 months now
@@adarijohnson if you dont have any other commitments soon, you should go with what ur dentist said. My dentist said that it could take a while before the teeth adjust. Maybe 3-4 months, it will hurt, you will have difficulty in eating and talking buuuttt all of it will be worth it.
I actually was waiting for an employment opportunity before but this year I confirmed that I cannot go through so I did not push through with it at first. I'm planning to talk with her now that I'm not going elsewhere.
@@jiyujinsano7917 she didn’t rlly mention any other commitments yet she said she’ll talk about it w my mom next time .
But yesterday when I went ( I have an overbite so my top teeth cover my bottom & it’s not aligned n stuff )
They put sum type of glue on the roof of my mouth to prevent my top from covering my bottom
And it feels weird & it’s already hard to it bc it’s not the way my teeth naturally fall. & my tongue is crowded 😭
But thank u for ur advice . I think I’ll get them removed & my teeth should have adjusted by the time school starts 😣
@@adarijohnson i was thinking that too, sooner you get them removed, sooner it will adjust. Just the time before school starts. Goodluck to us!!
Your videos are very helpful for me being a dental student in the Philippines. Thank you!! ❤️
Hey! Can overbite be treated without extraction? Actually I've overbite and my orthodontics suggested me 4 premolars extraction but I want to correct it with any other process. So pls let me know. And does palatal expansion can treat overbite?
I have a major deep bite, I'm wearing braces and bite plate since 6 months. Now my 2 upper premolars are extracted. Hope to get back a good smile asap😊
Thanks for this vid, doc!
Glad it was helpful!
Can you make a video on crowns and braces. Wondering if the movement of teeth will ruin the crown placement. I need to get some fillings done but dentist said to do crowns instead because is on my molars.
Great video, very helpful! I’ve been watching every video you’ve released these past few weeks. I love this channel! :)
Yess! Thank you so much & I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
hey dr. greg! i had a question, my jaw cracks everytime i open it up to full expansion or even sometimes when im eating like biting into food. It started with the left side then both sides were cracking but now only my right side "cracks". Im getting braces thursday and i've looked it up and they say that maybe its bc my teeth are misaligned, do you know anything about this, thanks!
Same here.
I hope dr greg will share his knowledge about this
I think it’s just crowding I think I have heard that before
Im glad I found your channel sir!
hey...can we use braces or headgears if we have caps or fillings?does it matter?
In most cases you’re good to go - depends on your case, of course!
@@DrGregAsatrian if there is 1 cap in molars and a filling in feont teeth?
jazakAllahu khaira
Thanks
Plz talk about other malocclusions too....
Bro where are you ? I feel like my teeth are really bad 💔I have a deep bite I think that’s what it’s called my top row front teeth are over lapping my bottom. The top of my front teeth are long.🤦🏽♀️I can’t change nothing from having long front teeth .
Overjet vs overbite imagine having both😂😂 I have braces and elastics which will hopefully fix them😊
Update?
i have them both and very extreme, so elastics and stuff cant even fully fix my teeth i have to get jaw surgery
@@Moon-qu2uy My overjet is almost gone is probably around 2-3mm and my overbite is also improving too!
Oof that’s bad
@@Bluoed nice!
I have deepbite and also flared teeth, my doc has suggested to remove 4 premolars in order to correct it. Is removing teeth necessary? Please reply
Can you please talk about frenectomy in preventing teeth gaps?
hello dr, if the overbite is caused by the lower jaw which is smaller and positioned too far back compared to the upper jaw can it also caused overbite?and can braces fix it?thank you
Love your videos! Will you do one about Class 3/underbite?
I did one on underbites ! Check it out =]
I’m getting braces on the 19th..btw love your channel I’ve been watching it for months
You mentioned how to correct a deep bite caused by the BOTTOM teeth coming up too far, and briefly mentioned that the top teeth overextruding (or whatever it's called) can cause a deep bite, but how do you correct that exactly? When it's the top teeth that are the problem? That's my issue because I have the gummy smile you mentioned.
Also had this lol overbite and huge deep bite
I've been told I had an overbite by many orthodontist my whole life then I finally went to see a surgeon and they corrected me and explained I actually had an over jet. I wonder why I was told the wrong thing my whole life...
This is exactly my case right now! Am going on a invisalign journey soon, do you think invisalign will be as effective to fix this overbite and curve of spee?
It does work! I will make a video on that =]
Braces Explained thank you! You’ve been really helpful and insightful
I love this one. I want that you would tell about splints in upcoming videos.
I am almost 60 and I developed an extreme overbite and overjet a couple of years ago after getting diabetes. I don't know if my back teeth got shorter but I do know trying to sleep facedown so I could breathe has let my bottom teeth push my top front teeth out like crazy. So, I was wondering if what you suggested in the video like letting the back teeth erupt more is better for growing people or applies equally to old people who always had perfectly straight teeth without braces for the first 55 years of their life. Thanks.
I don't know you have discussed it or not, but I want to ask what is the difference in function / result from using power chain and closed coil spring *sorry my english is not really good*
They are very similar but i can make a video to compare it!
@@DrGregAsatrian could u also make a video on torque in orthodontics..like how we can bring the tooth in upward position if its flaring toomuch..love ur videos btw..thx
I went to my orthodontist 3 days ago to get my elastics to fix my crossbite. I always thought I had an overbite but I don't. My brother has an underbite I think
Interesting! Great that you're having your crossbite fixed!
My son has deepbite. I will tag him with this video. ❤
Please do! Hope it helps him out =]
@@DrGregAsatrian thank you Doc. He is in his fourth month having braces treating his deep overbite. He misses eating corn on cob tho. 😂
Could you explain deep bites with braces 🤔 I really want to know more about this !
That's what this video is about!! haha
True should’ve watched the video first 😂🤷🏾♀️ but what about how teeth develop to be out of place for example if you’re a baby or toddler and your teeth are perfectly straight then why did they crowd later on 🤔👏🏽👏🏽
I have bite turbos, the orthodontist called them bite ramps, on my Invisalign. I knew they were for overbite correction but I never understood how they work just that my top stopping feeling sore within a couple of hours of getting them.
I have an overbite but I’m unsure how my orthodontist will go about treating it yet, I had a tooth they had to get pulled forward first so I think they will start focusing on that now lucky for me my overbite isn’t really a big issue to me it doesn’t hurt my mouth or anything it just seems I can accidentally bite my cheek or mouth more when chewing because I honestly forget my teeth are that way
Great video! Is it safe for orthodontist to use bands for overbite on teeth that have restorative work ? I’m a little worried to start elastics next week. The last bracket is on an upper bridge (the first crown) and I believe the elastic will be hooked on that tooth that bridged (upper) to lower tooth that has a root canal & crown. It’s a lot I know! How worried should I be?
im getting my braces in 3 weeks i was really nervous when I first found out I was getting braces then I started watching your channel and I wasn't that nervous anymore :)
Hi dr Greg can you make a video on how to use the orthodontic wax..how to dry my mouth properly? How frequently should i change it? Do i keep it in all the time..eating,sleeping etc..how much should I use is it too much or too little.. I just got my brace yesterday..thanks!
Take them out when ur eating. But if you forgot to take them out and if your swallow them you should be fine. I left it on while I was sleeping it kinda speeds up the healing.
Please send a video for correction of upper and lower Anterior croweding
Love your content! Any videos on open bites?
You repeatedly mentioned lose applicants like byteplates etc.. But it seems that they are mostly combined with full fixed braces. As I mentioned before I am searching for examples, where a small overbite is corrected with an activator in adult age. There are typically "bite-on" activators which form an bitebed between upper and lower jaw. The teeth should match against this bitebed during wearing this apparatus. It may be combined with a chin-head-cap to press the jaws together. Especially in the night. If I would do a third orthodontic treatment, I would like to get such an tool. Curious how it feels. And to keep it as orthodontic costume gadget over the time of treatment. Perhaps you do not practices this technique. But you could search for information about it and tell something about it.
I have overbite as per my Ortho, and suggested to remove some teeth in my upper jaw to correct it, but I'm still afraid because I'm thinking that I will have to give up my teeth just to correct it. Do you recommend this also Dr. Greg? Removing teeth to correct the overbite? I would appreciate if you would answer it. Thank you! 🙂 Greetings from the Philippines!
It's fine I also had that
I have a pretty bad overbite. My incisors pretty much completely overlap. I've never had gum issues, but I do have a chip in one of my lower incisors that may be a result of the overbite. I have upper arch braces right now and go for my first adjustment next week. Hopefully I'll be able to get lower arch braces soon, but first my upper teeth need to move some so they don't knock brackets off my lower ones.
Much needed vid 👐✌️
I have deep overbite, I took up two two, upper left and lower right, and will be getting springs on next visit
Took out 2 tooth***
Same I think , I got mine front row teeth braces , next month bottom
I had bite turbos a the beginning of my braces but they had to put cement at my molars because I would clench my teeth at night because had that irritates at my jaw
Can deep overbite in older adults be corrected with braces?
I wish I had teeth like you do. They are pretty. Whenever I go to a new dentist I pay attention on their teeth . :)
I had my braces 7 months ago.and i had overbite and uneven teeth. Bt now my orthodontist said that my teeths ar now fine and i can remove my braces. but I'm NOT happy about my result.i still have overbite. What can i do? Please help
You need to let your ortho know and get a second opinion if possible
Hey... thank you for this video, it's very insightful. What happens if your teeth appear straight but you have an overbite because of a protruding jar. Would you still see an orthodontist for this or you'd have to see another specialist?
So I am getting my braces on on the 3rd and they said I have an overbite AND overjet so would they be able to fix both at the same time or would they have to do one first?
