These videos made it understandable for me. This is my second round of having braces and this time around there are a lot of new things that my orthodontist have been adding to my braces so far.
Can you talk about shapes of elastics (like the triangle,etc...) and what each shape does to teeth, and also about midline shift correction,btw love this channel🤣
Love your videos!! I wish you were my orthodontist, you seem to know everything about braces and you have such an energy!! My orthodontist is so boring. She almost never talks and she doesn't even ask me what colours I want ugh!! Keep making videos they're so helpful!!❤❤❤❤
Yup same. My Ortho just puts on random colours , lucky she chooses pale colours like very light blue, silver. I would flip if she put bright colours without asking
I’ve been an ortho assistant for about a year now an I’ve recently started working for a new dr. Her methods and names are totally different from my last dr. Your videos have really helped me understand a little more about what my new dr wants. Thank you soooo much for making all these videos an further explaining ortho. You’re awesome!
Just got my lace ties installed on six of my bottom front teeth after 5/6 months since I have braces, could instantly feel the mild pressure. I like it, it looks nicer than elastics.
I watched all your videos over the year leading up to me getting a herbst appliance and graces and now I have the treatment and you helped me so much!!!
My dentist used these when she tried to do my braces. She called them "over-unders". It was to hold teeth on one side together while using power chains and springs to close space on just one side. Only the force used created a slight cross bite somehow? on my front teeth. So something wasn't working quite right...also my midline moved over about 1mm in the wrong direction...so sadlythose over-unders didn't completely work for me, to prevent them moving. I am now with an orthodontist who is using elastics on one side and power chain to close the space on the one side. He may use tads if needed at some point. Speaking of elastics... QUESTION: What does an elastic, on one side, from tooth 6 (top) to 4 (bottom) do? Will that correct bite and/or midline?
My 4 front teeth are on this lace tie and there are 2 power chain anchored on both sides. I am looking for answers on what isits purpose. This video exactly answers it. Great job! Nice content.
Curly girly The canine will eventually come down? Because my orthodontist only said there’s a possibility that it will come in after putting on braces and after I extract the four teeth next to my canines to make space, if not there might have to be a surgical procedure to invite in that missing canine. And right now it’s not looking too good. My front row seems to be shifting towards one side and it they’re quite slanted....
@@wendyzhang918 Just be glad there's room for yours, because there's no room for both my lower left canine, and the incisor it's under. Either way, 1 has to go due to overcrowding.
Lovely Doll Time haha mine is EVEN worse. all my canines are impacted and my premolars have to be extracted. There is literally NO space at all. It hurts like hell but I guess I can hold on tit for a couple more months
I'm getting braces on September 11, so the countdown is on. I'll have to get an incisor out first, though, so I'm feeling quite nervous. Your braces videos have been super helpful, making the process easier because I now understand what's going to be used and why.
Hi! Love your videos. They have helped me out so much. I got my upper braces put in 5 weeks ago and my first tightening 2 days ago. I got this procedure done but on my front teeth and they were individually tied instead of how it was done in your video. Is it the same? No pain though… just a little irritation that wax can help out with. Have a great day!
I was on a power chain last few months and now I am on my lace ties. My dentist didn't asked me for a colored elastic o-rings because he said that I am no longer needed it since I am already on a lace ties. I can feel the pressure all over my teeth. This video is very informative. I watched all your video about braces. Thank you.
I think i do have lace ties except theyre “tighter”? Theyre fully twisted between each bracket, and not just one criss cross (just like what you did at the end before tucking it behind the bracket) THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ❤️
Could you please do crossbite braces!! Cause i have a cross bite and i’d love to know what orthodontists can do. And i wanna be one so! Thanks for information.
I also have a cross bite and been wearing braces from last year October. Mine has caused tmj issues and make wearing elastic painful. I've seen a lot of changes and I'm hopeful it will be off sooner than the 30 months
@@craigbather6316 your top teeth (in the front) are naturally supposed to “rest” outside of your bottom teeth when you bite down/close your mouth. A cross-bite is when one or more teeth are out of this alignment, like a canine that might tuck behind the bottom teeth rather than in front. It “crosses” over the imaginary line/fence thats supposed to exist vertically. When ALL the bottom teeth and/or the bottom jaw itself juts out ahead of all the top teeth, it becomes more of an “underbite”.
I've been binge-watching all your videos. Thanks for the awesome content Dr. Greg! I have high gums which makes my lower teeth looks like being covered by my upper teeth. Hoping you could also make a video on how to correct that condition as well. Big thanks!
I got lace ties, but didn't realize I had them until I saw them a day after my appointment. I am a bit confused why they were put on when I personally still see a gap between the teeth, but I am still really new with them I have only had them for 2 months
Today at my ortho visit, my doctor kept saying “lace ties” And I’m like “.... lace WHAT?! 🤨🧐” I’ve watched damn near every video of yours and never seen a lace tie video came over here and thank god it’s here lol
First of all, thank you for the education but I do have a question. I'm on my last month of braces and my dentist put these lace ties behind the wire. When I was flossing, I accidentally pulled the lace ties that were placed between my two front teeth toward my teeth and there was a slight bend. Do I have to reschedule an appointment to fix them or is it OK?
My othro placed lace ties on my front teeth with power chains. Why would this have been done? I love your explanations. My othro doesn't explain anything and gets defensive when I ask questions. She didn't say she was putting on the lace ties. I came here to understand what they are for. Great videos!
Hello Dr. Thank you for your effort , I'm a big fan , I've a question , is it effective to tie the molars and premolar with ligature wire to act as anchorage when retract a canine to fix overget? 2nd question , a case with cross bite at left side and normal bite at right side , do I have to anchor the right normal side with ligature wire while using niti?? 🙏
Your videos helped me get through the first few weeks comfortably so thank you! As a side note it’s been 3 weeks since I had braces put on and for most soft foods I can eat easily, Sometimes when I try to bite off a hamburger or hotdog however it hurts in one particular area or tooth, is this the teeth moving and still getting accustomed?
Doc I have this bracket that always falls off. My dentist suggested a customized mouth guard for me since raiser bite haven't been effective to me. Would that also be your suggestion? ☺️
how do you guys deal with patients with crowns, is there any adjustments you have to make that you normally wouldn’t make for a patient with a regular tooth ?
i have a question. why would you do this lace tie instead of powerchain when both of them work to close space? in which situation, would you use powerchain instead of lace tie? and which situation, would you do lace tie instead of powerchain? or both are same as function goes and you can do either of them in every situation?
How long afer you get braces will you start wearing elastics and do you yousuly wear a power chain tords the end or can you have tords the begining becouse I Got Mine 7 months ago and have a assive gap in my front botrom teeth
I kinda want to see that too, because my lower left canine is impacted, and either the canine or incisor it's under has to go due to overcrowding. There's no room for both.
@@jackiemejia9417 Try covering it with wax. Or try to gently tuck the end of the tie so it's not irritating you. If you don't believe you can adjust it safely, check with the office. Pray all goes well for you. ☺️
I have lace ties all over my brakets, both up and down. I will ask in my next appointment what my orthodontist wants to achieve, but do you maybe have already a guess?
Hey orthodontics ! My doctor put some sort of plastic polymers on my molar, and i have to do some biting exercices on it, in order to have my molar go up a little, but i don't know what's the name of that technique, would you help me ?
Hello I have a question about my braces I have an over jet and an over bite because of my braces I originally had braces because of an over bite now because my teeth bite over my braces I have sort of an over jet is this normal please respond have a nice day
I have brackets and powerchains on the inside of my teeth also as the back ones aren’t moving. It cuts the bottom of my tongue and is driving my insane! Any idea what it’s called so I can google some coping tips?
I have lace ties on both the top and bottom teeth. My orthodontist calls it a gain tie? I've had this type of tie for over a year 😢 and I can't wear colored rubber bands so my mouth is just silver metal. Thankfully I get my braces off in a couple of months! Also using a waterpik to floss is a million times easier than regular string floss 😊
Hi, I have a question I just got braces like almost a month ago I just got top braces but I’m so confused because they didn’t put no spaces or anything I just have my braces with the wire do you know what there doing or is the process different for every orthodontist? Thanks for your time :) have a good day
woah are you Armenian? if so same! and i just got my braces on, ( not fully the wires arent in yet ) and my orthodontist put some rubber bands between my teeth.( feels like meat is stuck between my teeth! but i got use to it) what is it for? i never understood why it is there!
I have adult braces. I had overcrowding and had 4 extractions (which were very painful for about 2 weeks because I had braces on for 3 months at this point.) Once I was in for my next appointment I had lace ties put on to help close the gaps. Let me tell you that appointment for the last 3 months when they twist those ties always feels like my teeth are going to get pulled outta the sockets! No idea how much longer they are gonna be one, but I just hope I dont have to have them on longer than the 2 years they estimated because I am adult vs a child.
Thank you so much for sharing. I got braces for the second time and I find your videos informative. Can you please make a video about moving front incisors 3 unit dental bridge with mini-screws ?
Last month I had to get lace ties on my bottom front teeth because there was space between them. When I got on OH MY GAWD does it hurt. I literally saw the gaps close. I'm soon finnish with the braces
My lace ties all of a sudden make a lot of sense. I had 2 molars extracted way before I got my braces and needed to close the gaps. Once my front teeth were aligned, my orthodontist put a lace tie over the wire, from 2nd premolar to 2nd premolar. I have loops in the wire (forgot what they're called) to provide the force. It's been a looong process, especially on the side with the older extraction, even had a corticotomy to help, but I'm almost there. Sadly, though, even with the lace ties, my front teeth have shifted back a bit. I'm expecting elastics in my future, but my doctor says we might be albe to correct that with just the wire. I'm curious to see how that works.
I had my full lace ties + powerchain for the first time after 7 months with my braces. And right now I had pain on my right upper teeth. I couldnt let water go through on that side it really painful. I had to drink on my left side only. Same goes when I had to use my mouthwash, I couldnt keep it too long inside my mouth to gargle. I just went through quickly and spit as fast as I can because it will be very painful. Is it normal?

Hi.. How long should wear a lace tie for braces before change to retainer?
I have a lace tie on. I wanted to understand it’s function, great description thank you😊
Wow. I just got lace last Wednesday. First time I’m hearing of it so I had to research.

Is it true that if you have molar bands your orthodontist is supposed to remove them once every year to check for cavities on those molars?

I have lace both on my top and bottom teeth for my braces
Hi.. How long you wearing the lace tie?
Good day dr At what stage of treatment be able to use lace ties dr?
I have adult braces. I had overcrowding and had 4 extractions (which were very painful for about 2 weeks because I had braces on for 3 months at this point.) Once I was in for my next appointment I had lace ties put on to help close the gaps. Let me tell you that appointment for the last 3 months when they twist those ties always feels like my teeth are going to get pulled outta the sockets! No idea how much longer they are gonna be one, but I just hope I dont have to have them on longer than the 2 years they estimated because I am adult vs a child.
Do you have a useful tip for a loose lace tie in the back of the mouth until I head to the dentist's office on Monday?
I've lace ties in my front teeth for two mths instead back teeth, does it work the same as back teeth?
my ortho,put a lace tie on my front tooth to close the gap and its hurts only for 3 to 4 days and it works!!! 😊😊😊
What happen if the lace ties break or snapped ?
Just got my lace ties today too, not feeling any difference yet though.
So my dentist did not put the straight metal above the lace ties. I only have the cross cross metal. Is that normal?
What retainer(s) are best when you corrected an overbite
Power chains ,,e -chains and coloured ties is the same thing? All are alternate name for eachother or what?
My orthodentist used lace ties on top of my wire and nothing else, no rubber at all :( I wonder if that's considered normal practice?
I have a lace tie but i think that once tooth is slightly in top of other causing some impression would should i talk to my orthodontist?
Dr. Greg, can I ask? What do you call on that kind of wire? Thanks for answer.
Ligature

Sadly, though, even with the lace ties, my front teeth have shifted back a bit. I'm expecting elastics in my future, but my doctor says we might be albe to correct that with just the wire. I'm curious to see how that works.
Absolutely love you and your channel. Thank you so much!
Ah thank you so mucch! Thank you for watching!
Why don't you put full arch powerchain instead?
Thanks Doctor, your videos help me a lot to treat my patients, thank you again sir
A lace tie was placed on my braces but the power chain was not placed on top to secure it... is the wrong?
I had my full lace ties + powerchain for the first time after 7 months with my braces. And right now I had pain on my right upper teeth. I couldnt let water go through on that side it really painful. I had to drink on my left side only. Same goes when I had to use my mouthwash, I couldnt keep it too long inside my mouth to gargle. I just went through quickly and spit as fast as I can because it will be very painful. Is it normal?
