This was so detailed and very well explained, its good to know the process and helps me to make a more informed decision when I decide to get my teeth done
I think I finally found my solution for my extremely pointy canines. I don’t technically have any gaps in my teeth, but my canines are so pointy that it makes it look like I do. I was so afraid I would have to get veneers or something to fix the problem, but I’m happy I found this!
Also I thought the whole thing of bonding was so u don't have to do retainers which comes after getting braces removed? So even with this bonding u will need a retainer aka tray ? I'm confused
We are talking about a completely different procedure in this video. You are correct, lingual bonding after orthodontic movements acts as a type of non-removable retainer. It is the act of placing resin or a wire strip to the teeth and 'bonding" them into place. The patient in this video is receiving a direct restoration that is bonded to their teeth to cosmetically reshape them utilizing a similar tooth colored resin. It has nothing to do with orthodontic movement. However, as a loose term, both procedures are sometimes called "bonding". Thanks for watching!
@@willschmidtrda3428 so if I get the bonding done I dont have wear retainer that my main question ? And mine shouldn't crack I take care of my teeth. And drink 95% water
I don't know where you live but in my country (UK), it is one of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry options v veneers or crowns. I paid equivalent US$200 per tooth but the prices vary, even locally. Maybe google your location and composite bonding, most dentists have fees sections on their websites.
@@felicitymc8200 Interesting. I can do a google search and see what local dentists charge for this procedure, however, I still do not get why they would not say the price in this video!? Thanks.
@@fc1133 because this video is made by a company that supply dentists with the products to do these procedures not dentists themselves. Individual dentists and dental groups can charge what they want.
What is the difference btwn bio clear matrix and the camaflouge nano hybrid matrix? The process looks identical. Is the composite material the same? What would be the typical cost for getting 15 teeth done and how long does it take?
The matrix used during this Camouflage procedure is a standard clear matrix that's placed mainly to prevent resin adhesion to the neighboring teeth. The bioclear matrix is a preformed matrix that is supposed to minimize the shaping and contouring needed during the composite application. I took a more freehand approach during this treatment, but I'll try out the bioclear to see if it can help save time.
Can you please explain why you leave unequal left and right side? It seems like her left side is lowered too much… I’m wearing braces and will take them off for few days and my theets are the same and I wonder if this asymmetry can be solved.
I’m Here I can eat apples I just have to cut it up. It is minor drilling they shave a tiny bit of tooth so it has grit so the bonding agent can stick to the teeth
Very nice finishing results I have a question.. can we restor small gaps without bawell . is it necessary to use bur?.. can we directly etch bond cure then restore? Kindly reply
Hey Dr. Chi, I had a quick question. I noticed that you etched, bonded and applied composite to tooth structure without initially prepping the teeth. Will this in anyway affect the strength of the restoration?
Hi Vignesh, since we were entirely in enamel and able to get sufficient material applied on the lingual side of 6 and 12, I felt comfortable going directly into the bonding protocol. I recommend avoiding just an incisal application since those will be more at risk of failing. Thank you for the question
I only use the clear matrix to cover surfaces I don't plan on adding resin to. Since these surfaces are not etched, any composite that is built up against them won't adhere.
Hi doc, in these cases would you recommend building the contact points free hand or do you recommend certain matrix systems that makes it slightly easier for beginners? Thank you
I’m thinking of bonding Veneers not trying to ruin teeth or have to pay ridiculous money every 10 years Will bonding be good for me? I have gaps and chips Had braces years ago But never wore retainer I know bonding can break But is it worth it Instead of veneers ???
Just had bonding done today in NY with a Periodontics Practitioner. The resin, sadly is like sandpaper and rough - compared to the natural enamel. Appearance wise, it looks nicer - but the feeling is odd. It feels like the resin went over farther on the middle of my teeth and at the bottom/edge more than I'd like and is not as smooth. Afraid this is irreversible, as the resin/polishing has taken away the smooth feel of the natural enamel. I told them it felt rough and they polished with electric drill-like device - which didn't make much difference. I had a resin filling done back in 2005 for a tiny cavity - the finish was very smooth, like a sealant/clearcoat. This resin used for bonding feels nothing like it. Concerned.
@@Sw87sw87 Mostly yes. Every now and then it still feels odd, and one tooth I can feel the edges of the bonding, as if it's coming up..... but my smile overall looks so much better.
my dentist did this all wrong on my front tooth. Left dentin exposed and discoloration. Scared to try fix it further now. She was rushed. I will not go back.
Hi Dr. Chi, I live in the Upstate of south carolina and near Shelby, NC could you possible recommend dentist in these areas that do this type of procedure?
I noticed you did not use a Mylar matrix in between the lateral and the canine during composite placement and curing. How do you make sure that the lateral and canines do NOT bond to each other during the curing? Also how do you feel about Ivoclar Empress composites ? Do you find it to be a bit too sticky to the instrument and frustrating? Thank you.
Nina - I ended up only adding composite to the mesial of the canine and carefully built it up until it contacted the lateral. While I etched the lateral, I tried to avoid applying bonding agent to the distal.
When he said '22 year old female with peg laterals' I was taken aback because that's exactly me right now... Getting braces next week and hopefully having my peg laterals built up with composite bonding.
Update: I’ve had them for two months and my teeth have straightened out so much! I’m in shock. Just bridging the gaps now and hopefully building up the laterals sometime next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Exist N Nature Media i know... everything is more expensive in the USA! That’s why I go to states, make money and come back to Romania and spend my money here.
Hello Doc, I love your videos! I have a quick question. How many hours did it take to do this case in one appointment? I'm quite a slow worker at our school's clinic. I can't imagine how slow I'd be if I had to take impressions, make a study cast, do an indirect wax up, make a putty matrix then work directly on the patient. I'd like to know how many hours it usually takes so I could gauge myself better. Thank you!
Hi Mary, the study cast is made from impressions taken at the data collection/tx planning appointment. We scheduled the treatment after the wax-up was done. This case took about 2 hours. You can certainly complete the case without the aid of a wax-up and matrix, but it's more complex if you don't have a good grasp of anterior morphology. In a school environment, I think it'll save you time in the long run to have a putty matrix to guide for the length and width of the final restoration. Good luck!
Am I studying dentistry? No.
Did I watch the whole thing? Yes.
This was so detailed and very well explained, its good to know the process and helps me to make a more informed decision when I decide to get my teeth done
How much did it cost for the procedure?
Roughly around $2000.

I guess you could just have them filed a bit
Amazing explanation!
No other detailed explanation in the entire TH-cam!!👍
Beautiful job! Do you do this in favor of Bioclear method? I'd like to get my teeth fine this way as well.
Start my procedure here in the UK this week Hope they look as good ! 😄😄
Should your composite bond all teeth together? Or should there be flossing gaps?
Can this method be used for people that grinded their teeth down!? How "grinding proof" is this. Of course a night guard is used. Thanks.
I had this done to 6 of my top front teeth in 2008. Highly recommended for tetracycline staining.
I’m also having my top 6 done. When did your teeth chip / when did you have to have it redone? Trying to figure out how long these last.

Whats a ball park figuer of getting a procedure like this done?
Can teeth be cleaned like normal regular teeth
Do teeth stain or discolor

Just got bonding done it and was $366 per tooth before insurance
Very nice and conservative approach!

If I have a hole between the teeth because of missing tooth. Could this method be also applied??
Where are you? I need near exact same procedure. I'll fly there.

Is this a painful process at all?
does this stop sensitive teeth

how do yo mantain the teeth separated i saw that you dont use the acetate all time
I only use the clear matrix to cover surfaces I don't plan on adding resin to. Since these surfaces are not etched, any composite that is built up against them won't adhere.
Does the procedure involve any damage to the tooth enamel.
they say minimal
Is this alike fillings? My front tooth chipped, 😩🥺would this work for me??
You're a sculptor :) I love good dentistry :)
Where it is
I wanna treat of my theeth i m living in birmingham plz help me
Ever visiting India? I do this too! :)
Why do some dentists trim the tooth before applying the bonding material? Isn't this supposed to be a non invasive process?
Minimally invasive, rarely non.
this was amazing!!!
Excellent work
wow, that really nice work.
Nice work👍🏻

This is just like acrylic nails. Guess nail technicians and dentists aren't so different.
Dentists do much more than this! This is just one of the treatments,where they deliver their artistic aspect. ☺️

Loll try get into the dental school & study dentistry for 5 years see if nail technicians survives that.

Hello What composite did you use in this restoration?
