does this increase the size of zygomaxillary suture

God sent is a way to discribe it And just want to say words cant express enough how thankful i am and im sure many other gps for the content and the devotion in conveying, explaining and simplifying matters I will be starting to take on simple green light cases soon hopefully and your videos helped and are helping alot Thanks alot

How many months does it take for metallic braces for that impacted tooth to be positioned in the arch??

Can supernumerary teeth still erupt even if I’m 23 years old already?? I do have braces and my dentist removed my two permanent teeth for my two supernumerary teeth to erupt because we cannot afford oral surgery, they are two pre molars btw

Hello, Amanda! I’ve 11-12 years old Pt (a girl) who is currently treated with Invisalign and MA. She had huge overjet before the treatment. The result is great so far, the overjet is less and improving, but parents are worried that the child's face is changing. They say she used to have big, beautiful cheekbones, but now they're gone. They also worry that their daughter won't end up with too sharp chin. Any recommendation? Thank You!

HAHA sorry I mis-spoke at 0:34 sorry about that! Palate is the base of the nose!!!! Oops!! sorry- but you guys got that!!

After removing bite blocks that was placed in second molar and wasn't attached with braces, tooth has moved in higher position, what should I do, ortho says to leave it like that. I think bite blocks caused me TMJ and my lower jaw is blocked, I have braces to straighten tilted third and second molar because I had extracted first molar when I was a teenage and that caused them to shift, and also the side of tilted teeth from braces caused jaw problems and my ear got blocked. I have overjet and overbite but my ortho dont want to fix it now, in beginning he said that he will. I Don't know what to do, I'll be removing braces after a month. I want to know if TMJ is caused only by bite blocks or also by force to straighten molars. And what should I do for overjet/deep bite

yes, please keep making these videos. I learn so much from listening to them.

Hello! Thank you for the video. One thing... the title says upper 5s lower 4s, but in the video you say the opposite (at 4:10, 4:46, ). It is my understanding that for camouflage cases (treating a class III non-surgically, which is the topic of this video), a 4 premolar extraction pattern would be upper 5s over lower 4s would be most appropriate.

Removing teeth is the wrong thing to do. You need to create space through surgery if needed, not reduce it. This is needed for breathing.

I did not have a back molar bands or brackets , my braces were removed 2 weeks ago and I didn’t notice until I got my retainers that my upper left back molar is tilted a little bit out of alignment from the other Teeth I’m assuming this is because it didn’t have a bracket or wire connecting it to the rest of the arch Is this gonna be a problem for by bite everything else seems OK I remember asking my orthodontist a while ago why we didn’t have the last Molar brackets and he said he doesn’t normally put those on, but I didn’t realize until now that maybe it could be an issue if it’s an issue? Your thoughts would be helpful after watching this video?

This was so helpful. Thanks for sharing! ❤😊

I use these on upper ACS and lower RCS 18x25 NiTi wires, but I had a patient who developed severe root resorption of her upper incisors and I cannot figure out the reason. was it the wires or the elastics or something else? I also when I need anterior elastics on unhooked incisors, I leave the disto-gingival wing of the bracket untied for the elastics.

The link to the webinars and seminars is no longer working.

How do you close extraction spaces on Niti wires without losing incisor torque or deepening the bite?

Can you please post the link to the blog of the article on wire sequence? Thank you.

So can jaw surgery still be necessary even when the bite can be fixed with orthodontics or is jaw surgery only necessary when orthodontics alone can’t fix the bite?

I got to say Amanda your cute

Hello, I believed I have the class 2. My lower back molar moves out of place and is loose. Is that normal?

It’s called uplifting but have to get braces I see to get a legit move they can even cut the cut the gum and lift the tooth none of this just remove my teeth for no reason

Hi i'm professional thumbnail designer on fiver, i can design your thumbnails more unique in just 2hours

do you have opinion on OrthoFX?

Could you tell me if the soldered spring arm is going to the lingual or buccal?

I have a profile like 8:26, around 3 years ago I noticed my lower jaw and chin looked recessed. I had an overbite and the orthodontist used Invisalign to push my upper teeth back. That didn’t help my profile at all and since then I’ve noticed breathing issues especially when trying to catch my breath. Do you think it would make sense for my upper teeth to go back to where they originally were and then my lower jaw surgically brought forward? And does it sound like to you the jaws are the main problem not the teeth?

hello maam, i have a question my dentist said to me that before braces need to remove wisdom teeth first then after that we put braces i have overbite. but my question why wisdom teeth and not premolars or whatsoever, cause what i see here in youtube they remove premolars instead of wisdom teeth

Do you think it would be okay to file down the trim line on ClearCorrect with a nail filer? Or is there a solution to lowering the trim line a bit, because it's uncomfortable how high the trim is. This is coming from someone who just started ClearCorrect treatment this week.

Hi, can you help me with the ideal route to take if I want cosmetic bonding? My dental office plans to scan me for retainers whilst still in my attachments then remove them on the day they are delivered. The dental office is not being helpful and ignoring my emails. I am currently in my final Invisalign refinement stage and looking to get cosmetic bonding with another practice since the orthodontist I have doesn't specialise in it.

my right side of mouth feels weird, the pain and sensitivity is gone, but it feels weird, maybe too much was used, besides waiting 30 days how can I remove it in my mouth, with warm salt water?

A question doctor, i have a patient who was wearing a repositioning splint, after i fixated braces she has disocclusion especailly in the 2 distal segments. What elastic shape should i prescribe her to wear? 🫡

Nice acronym “IDGAF” 😂😂😂

Her named is spelled “Britney” one T and ends with EY.

Very courageous of you trump 2024

Dr Amanda you’re beautiful

Hello! I have watched all of your IPE videos, and I am most grateful. My 8-year-old just started this program last week. It was very, very expensive, 2500, which includes all visits, but still a lot. I am preparing for our first follow up appointment, and I was hoping that maybe you could offer me a couple good questions that I could ask to make sure everything is on the right track (pun). Much appreciated.

Ty so much! I have the same problem with my patient! Do u have a video on how to do second order bends? For rotation? And another question, will this method work if there is no space between the 2 premolars?

😂😂😂

I was a bit irritated when my dentist gave me a referral to an orthodontist because I was asking him how I could get my open bite treated. I thought "why can't he just do it himself?" Lol. I forgot that like regular doctors, dentistry also has specialists for certain things

Today I had my Angel Aligner on. I am from China but live in Washington State. I just felt super uncomfortable when you mentioned China. You sounded really mean. I wish you could have a more open-minded mindset and vision.

Dentistry is completely moronic...you can glue the brace to the teeth and you don't know how to dissolve the glue.. but removing the brackets mechanically .😱😱👎👎👎 Completely idiotic...😭😭😭

Do you have any new thoughts on this? My daughter m, 8, was just given one.

What's the point of just talking and not actually showing step step how to do it!!!

how many teeth do we need in the anchorage unit for uprighting one molar?

Hi Dr. Amanda, great video! I wanted to ask a clarification for nomenclature regarding which is the epiphysis and which is the diaphysis. You pointed out in the video that the diaphysis is the tiny cap (little bone) while the epiphysis is the end of the "longer" bone. Based on other sources I'm wondering if it's actually the other way around (Epiphysis is the tiny cap while the diaphysis is the end of the longer bone)? Then summary doc also says for peak puberty that "the epiphysis of the middle phalanges of the middle finger caps the diaphysis by surrounding like a cap". Thanks so much!!!

I have a horrible open posterior bite after aligners.Now they want to get me to get surgery.

Untrue!! Get your facts before telling others it’s a bad idea. You don’t have any current paperwork on transferring the itero. Just influencers wanting more likes and fame sad

You can do it on the facial surface for retention and intrusion. I dont see how lingual is better than facial.

Is damon and self ligating braces are same?

Well, mine are impacted. I have no issues. Teeth moving a little bit is not a big deal and orthodontists will always want more $

Desensitizing is suppose to be built into the Invisalign Professional Whitening System gel, with both Potassium Nitrate to reduce the sensitivity of the nerves and Sodium Flouride to provide some flouride to the enamel of the teeth for material strength. I don't know the amount of either ingredient as they are not listed. 🤔

How long are these usually on?
