hi doctor i feel a nerve like intense pain in my upper gums of tooth that is having class 2 elastic rubber band .its been 4 days since previous appointment pain is on peak what can i do?
@masitahamani8113 6 ай бұрын
Hi doc im wearing class II elastics and just started recently. When im wearing, i cant open my mouth and all the teeth are locked in position. There are no spaces in between my teeth. I also feel like the upper canine is grinding the lower canine causing it to be slightly attrited. Is it normal to not be able to open your mouth? And can movement happens when all the teeth are locked in biting position? Thank you
@BracesGuide 6 ай бұрын
Hello, yes the tension of the elastics can sometimes restrict opening but you should confirm that you have the right size rubber bands, ask your orthodontist about this to be sure.

Rubber bands have done nothing for me, i still have a huge over jet and overbite where my upper teeth are covering the bottom teeth completing. and, this is the second time i have braces. This time, i have have them for 2 years. Im tired of the!... i guess, i will have to deal with it, even though, i hate my smile.

Hi, I have vertical elastics (upper canine, lower canine and premolar), but they are 5/16", is that normal?? I honestly don't feel them unless I open my mouth, they seem loose. First elastics I'm wearing on my treatment and I have a thick wire (at 1 year 4 months of treatment btw)
@BracesGuide 11 ай бұрын
Your orthodontist makes the recommendation on the type of elastic, so you can ask them about this at your next appointment. It doesn’t take a lot of force to move teeth, also, the length of time you wear the elastics has a greater effect than a stronger force. I would suggest following the orthodontists instructions on the type and time needed to wear until you can ask them about it.

I am trying to correct my midline and my Ortho is only asking me to wear one rubber band on each side but I dnt that will shift my front teeth since the rubber band is not on that teeth. Can I possibly put rubber bands on more teeth then recommended to move all teeth at once as long as it’s going the same direction? Or is the purpose of wearing band on the opposite teeth gonna move all teeth for me?
@BracesGuide Жыл бұрын
One rubber band on each side still has the effect of moving all the teeth, not just the ones the rubber band is connected to. So, I would suggest you still follow your orthodontists suggestion. At your next visit, you can confirm how and why you are wearing them this way with your orthodontist.

Its day two for me (with separators) and they don't hurt unless I bite something hard! Seen so many people saying the pain is unbearable. I got 6 teeth out (4 wisdom and 2 extracted) a month ago and i'm now starting my braces journey. The pain from spacers compared to recovery from surgery is very different. I usually have a very low pain tolerance (I thought I did), but I barely feel any pain with these separators!
@BracesGuide 2 жыл бұрын
It’s interesting, some patients say it’s worse than braces and others tell me they barely notice them. I think a lot has to do with how much space is already present, pain tolerance etc

@BracesGuide 2 жыл бұрын
Hi there, when the teeth do not touch, that would be called an open bite. Sometimes the bite can be open in one area and deep in another, usually that is caused by an interference. This is something that can be evaluated by your dentist or orthodontist and they can guide you on how best to help.

I'm not exactly sure from your description, but it might be vertical settling type of elastics where they are trying to bring everything together between your upper and lower teeth? I would suggest that you ask your orthodontist to explain it again at your next visit though since I'm not exactly sure from how you described.

should elastics be changed twice a day? I mean two pairs per day? does it depends on the case? if they can be replaced twice a day, generally in which cases whould be changed twice a day? thank you
@BracesGuide 2 жыл бұрын
Usually orthodontists recommend changing them because over time, the elastics can stretch out and become less effective. So, changing them a couple times a day can help to make sure the forces stay active. Best thing would be to ask your orthodontist how often to change for your specific situation.

I just got mine in yesterday, and it's extremely painful. It's not quite as bad as the pain from removing my wisdom teeth was, but it's extremely uncomfortable and though I only have four in on the bottom, my entire mouth feels sore and it's painful to bite. My dad is taking me to an amusement park tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'm going to be in pain the entire time. Is it likely that I can handle it? I've taken some Tylenol and it's working alright, but I doubt it'll last the entire day.

I’ve heard from patients that the pain from separators can sometimes be worse than the braces, so it’s not that unusual. The good news is that it usually only last a few days and gets better. Pain medication helps too, so use the recommendation from your orthodontist to help with the pain.

Hello doctor your videos are very informative. I have class 2 and my lower jaw is a little backwards, so can these elastics move it a little forward without extraction etc or they just move upper teeth backward? I am 20 btw. Thank you
@BracesGuide 2 жыл бұрын
Hello, thanks for your comment. Elastics tend to just move teeth, there is no skeletal or jaw effects, just dental movement. Rubber bands can have an effect on both upper and lower teeth, however. So for example with Class 2 elastics, the upper teeth move back and lower teeth also are moved forward.
