I got my braces yesterday 23/09/2024

That’s hard if you have lots of attachments. It’s best to use that hook technique on one side then straight away do it on the other side, so both sides are loosened, then take it off your front.

How often do I need to see my dentist for Invisalign?

Wow

Good info but - you missed a massive point with "convenience" and aligners. I'm 4wks into Invisalign, am in my early 40s, and I wish I'd gone with clear braces. I rarely get to stop for meals during work, plus am naturally a mega slow eater with a poor appetite. So I rely on more small meals to keep up blood sugar etc. Add to this, I have pretty severe ADHD. Having to take out the aligners and clean every time you eat is a huge minus. It's disrupted my eating a lot (I was underweight and had only just gotten into good eating habits) and I can forget to put them back in if I get distracted. Def something to consider!

this looks easy until your dentist decides to replace your thin retainer into a thicker retainer

Every new set of aligners 1st two days are very difficult to remove aligners sorry for bad English 😅

Thank you! This was a life saver for me. I've been saving the past sets. Accidentally mixed up 2 and 4 for the day. Had been wearing 2 instead 😬. Thank you for your help!

My orthodontist (who is a top 1% diamond provider and has done 1,000s of cases in a large metropolitan city and glowing reviews) said to wear the retainers pretty much 24/7 even when eating and only take them off when brushing. Supposedly treatment only takes a few months vs 1-2 years. What do you think about that

Please tell me how to straight teeth without braces tips 😭

I've been wearing invisaligns a year and a half I only have two slight crooked teeth at the top nothing is working I did not know anything about buttons putting on regular teeth then put on the invisaligns trez getting buttons on your teeth do they work faster

Tq 😂

Finished Invisalign now so it’s too late but looking back my dentist never suggested any other option, it just seemed Invisalign was the way to go. I got a further 7 weeks of refinement for my lower teeth but I had to suggest that, I felt he wasn’t worried what happened, he had his money and wanted the treatment to end soon. Just my thoughts looking back

Pague $2000 dolores para eso hace 5 año y nunca me llegó mi invisalign 😢dinero perdido fue en warminster pa solo me hicieron esperar

My retainer for the bottom teeth broke into two pieces I read online that you should not wear a broken but on KZbin I search up broke retainer and one video with 12k views says to still wear a broken retainer so I don't know what to do

Dr Jono is so great! What a great video! Great great doctor!! Very humble !!! 😅❤

Attachments laughing in a corner

I need to get braces tomorrow but after two months i switch to new city, so can you suggest me can i get braces tomorrow or get braces in the new city??

I have a question. Is it supposed to hurt when taking it out? It's my third day and it still hurts a lot when I try to take it out, the catch being being that it only hurts when i try to apply force on the bottom right part of jaw, and it doesn't even loosen up. I need help and my dentist just ignores my problem saying that I am too scared to take it off.

Mine are so difficult because i can take off the back but dhe front is very difficult 😭😭😭

I am loosing my will to continue! I haven't eaten in 22hrs and only take it off to brush my teeth last night and this morning! It's a struggle hill to take it off and put it on. I am loosing my will to continue and I'm only on day 2! The top is easy! But this freaking bottom, 30mins already and It won't budge!!!!!

No issues with the hooks or the buttons, but the rubber bands themselves are digging into my cheeks.

let me answer what men are afraid to ask: which one is more comfortable when you are on the receiving end of oral. braces! they look frightening but they are on the outside surface of her teeth. you wont feel a thing. but with invisalign, you will definitely feel them, since they are on all sides of her teeth. just fyi. she can of course remove them. you're welcome!

Gluck works!!?!?!

Is it suppost to feel like im ripping out a tooth?

Invisalign caused me to get a posterior open bite. 8 years later I'm in traditional braces because my bite is really messed up and front teeth now hit bottom teeth. Yes I wore my retainer after treatment. It never was fit correctly in the first place. Lesson here is go to an orthodontist not just a dentist trained in invisalign.

I have the Invisalign retainers. It hurts so much on the other side feels like my teeth are going to come out 3rd day still hurts

What about torque direction on teeth. It's a completely different basis for shifting teeth for different applications.

Thanks so much for all the details. What does the patient do while waiting for the retainer? Do they stay in the tray they are in? That part is confusing to me. Thanks in advance for your explanation.

Do you need X-rays? My dentist did not, but on the internet it says it is vital to get X-rays for Invisalign in the beginning?

I got my Expander yesterday and it’s pretty weird feeling. It hurts when I bite down and it’s kinda hard to swallow down my food because the expander is in the way. Any suggestions would be great! :D

I wish I would of known that it’s hard to take the trays out of your mouth. I wish I would of chosen braces. I feel like I’m going to have to be on a diet wearing these. They make your mouth just as sore as braces, because those plastic buttons rub on your mouth when you eat. One already came off the first day. And they hurt all around the edges. Plus they had to file all my front bottom teeth on the sides and now they look kind of skinny. I guess I’m stuck no going back paid too much money already. So this is a warning do your research before thinking oh trays that seems better than braces. Well no it’s not!

One word. chewy

uhm i watched this as a joke and i have a 100% overbite.... uhhh- (im getting braces tmrw but that's for my gap)

Just started Invisalign

Use a Chewie !

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. My 8 year old was struggling with the bottom for days. I appreciate this content. ❤

What should I do if it is cracked in between my 2 front teeth?

You didn't really talk about the fact that aligners seem to not be great for bigger more substantial teeth movement.

Can yoi become a orthodontist if you have bad teeth or is it not a good choice im so sad i want to help people cause of the experience ive had but how can you help people if you yourself arent 100%

ur teeth are fake right? why? why didnt u wear braces but u exchange ur entire teeth ?

So,I just recovered from oral surgery a few months ago,and my orthodontist wants me to get an Invisalign,I think I should cuz braces sound painful! I have 2 extra teeth in my mouth,and crooked ones,wish me luck.but,would you think Invisalign is a yes or a no?

I got black pepper stuck behind my attachment.. how do I get it off/out

I have seen 3 videos describing how to use the chewies and I have gotten 3 different answers 😂. This one is completely different from the previous two. The first two had same methodology but different timing.

Got my Invisalign the other day and I struggled so much to take it off, especially the upper one. My boyfriend had to take it out for me as I couldn't do it alone. It doesn't help if you bite your nails either lol This worked like a charm for me and the upper one came off in a second! Thank you so much Dr!!! I can have my coffee now lol

ok if youre struggling with grabbing it after you pop it out of one side then what im doing is instead of grabbing the aligner and pulling it out im doing the first part on the other side as well and then hooking my nail under the part on the back of my two front teeth and then pulling down again. idk if that helps for most but hopefully this helps someone.

I wish I got this much attention from my orthodontist, as you give your patients! Mines seem to only care about the money. 🙂

This is impossible if you have attachments on every tooth 🙄🤦‍♀️
