very educational, thank you so much for this. I am fixing to get some pretty soon, and I am so excited and a bit nervous. I 😁still have time to watch all your videos on this topic. :)
Interesting video. At around 3:30, u introduce the nickel titanium wire. It's crazy how what seems like such little force applied by that wire can move teeth/bone....still hard to wrap my head around that. Like does that wire really apply that much force, or is it just the slight continuous pressure that does that? Also, can that wire expand teeth too ?
Hey Doc, I’m in high school interested in being a orthodontist, what’s the path to becoming one and, how do I go through school and dental school and work for someone that will help pay for my schooling, thanks!
The only way I know of having someone pay for your schooling is going into the Army/Navy or something equivalent. They will pay for your schooling but you have to give them equal amount of years of service. It's actually worth it if you go to an expensive school. Other then that study like crazy at every chance you get!
Hi Dr.Nate. I’m looking & searched for a videos about braces. But my question is can you pleased enlighten me. Because my son’s got finally put them the bottom braces. But they say that they didn’t usually put a colored rubber bands in the bottom braces. What do you think Dr. Nate? I was upset because I thought there’s a colored rubber bands both but not. Thank you & be safe! More powers to your great educational videos.😊
Had braces when I was 16. Being young and stupid I didn't wear retainer and my teeth went wonky again. I recently started Invisalign and I'm not gonna screw it up again!
im getting my braces removed exactly in a month. I had horrible teeth before. Now everything is alligned but I have Midline Asymmetry. My dentist already worked on this with elastic but i dont know why he told me to stop wearing them . Any guessses?
Hmmm. Not sure. Could be many things but I would ask your Orthodontist to explain it well to you because that shouldn't be something that hard to explain.
Hey doc, my son got braces 3 weeks ago and he’s lost 4 brackets. He lost the first one the day after getting them on, the next one he was brushing and it fell off the day after he lost the first bracket then a week after that two just popped off and still stuck to the wire right now. They’re just kinda hanging there they’re not connected to the tooth. Now his wires are moving side to side. He’s not eating anything he isn’t supposed too and is taking care of them so why are they popping off so easily? This shouldn’t be normal right? I had braces and did everything I wasn’t supposed to do and NEVER lost a bracket. Did they do a crappy job putting them on? On our way back from getting them on those blue things u put on your back teeth(on top) to keep you from hitting the brackets (turbos I think is what u call them) fell off and had to drive back and get it fixed 😡 did I get ripped off lol. When they fell off the glue is all on the bracket, no glue is left on the tooth.does this cause delay in his treatment?
What's the point of using steel if it's going to stay deformed? I didn't get that part. The other material that goes back to its original shape and takes your crooked teeth along for the ride, that was clearly explained.
Good morning Dr. Nate, I am curious as to whether if you spend majority of your day doing braces or do you spend your day doing both, dental work ( fillings, extractions, root canals, etc.) and braces for your patients?
Hey Garrison. I actually think having things like smile direct club etc is better for orthodontics right now. So many more patients are exposed to ortho marketing which makes my job actually easier because more people are seeking orthodontists!
My gums are swollen since last month there's no bleeding no pain they are just swollen.. even my orthodontist didn't say anything just prescribed 3 days antibiotics.. could you please share your feedback on this?🥺
Never knew the specifics around how the wiring actually makes the teeth straight. Good info!
very educational, thank you so much for this. I am fixing to get some pretty soon, and I am so excited and a bit nervous. I 😁still have time to watch all your videos on this topic. :)
Good luck. Next month I will start process, I’m nervous too 😊

Yes it's light continuous force. Most wires cannot expand teeth but tips teeth outwards.
@@ThriveDentist thanks...
Very helpful!! Thanks so much! I just got braces last week and this video was very informative.

I'm just getting off periodontitis. My smile is all jacked up now. I'm 40 years old now and hoping to get my smile back to normal with braces.

Sounds like saliva got in the way when bonding the teeth. It happens sometimes but if it keeps happening that's definitely not good.

I only do braces and Invisalign.
Thank you. This makes sense.
Do you think that's its risky to go in to ortho school now because of all these places making Invisalign?

@@ThriveDentist Thanks for the info!👍
Helpful 🙏 Cheers 🙌🏻
I'd like to get braces but it's too expensive... So I just watch videos about it and cry
My gums are swollen since last month there's no bleeding no pain they are just swollen.. even my orthodontist didn't say anything just prescribed 3 days antibiotics.. could you please share your feedback on this?🥺
Sounds like gingivitis but tough to know.
I'm going to have my braces but I have one upper teeth what do you do with thatwhat it do what it look the same as all the braces
Can you wear Invisalign backwards to get you old bite back if you don’t like it?
Never heard of that before but can't see why not.
What is the point of the colors? They don’t seem like they do anything to help move teeth...
They keep the wire in place.
Sir did you pay off all your orthodontist student loan debt? Thank you very much.
Can you do some reviews and tips for using at home cleaners and ultrasonic gadgets?
No more student loans for us!
Love it. Will do!
but how do you apply the steel band without making plastic deformation
Just have to be delicate:)
I just got mine they hurt sm
Hey is there any place I can get that braces model?
Hmm. We get them from our vendors but may try online?
