Hi @sampadapattnaik5305 , We hope your treatment is going well. Yes this is a very common technique used by orthodontists, but shouldn't cause any pain.

Long ligatures are mostly used to maintain space closure, preventing any space from opening and increasing anchorage. Therefore, you can keep them in place for as long as necessary, ensuring that oral hygiene is well maintained.

@@cephtacticsdental thanks

Not every case of a wisdom tooth can be corrected; some must be extracted, while others are left untouched. The decision heavily depends on individual needs

The question is not very clear, but if you're asking about the archwire, it should be stainless steel or rectangular NiTi to provide active push-coil.

When you have a mouthful of mouthwash, you don't swallow it. After you spit, only a very small amount remains in your mouth, which is diluted by saliva. The residual amount left in the mouth is not dangerous at all, but swallowing the entire mouthful is a different story.

Hi @hjhanayosh, thank you for the message. For extrusion or intrusion bends in orthodontic treatment, stainless steel or titanium molybdenum alloy (TMA) wires can be utilized. The selection of wire shape and size is contingent upon the specific stage of treatment. Typically, these bends are executed during the finishing stage to avert the need for bracket repositioning, which might otherwise result in the undesirable round-tripping of wires. I hope this helps and if you would like more information please contact our team at [email protected]

Certainly! Yes, we can use extrusion/intrusion bends for two adjacent teeth. The size and placement of these bends depend on the patient's needs and treatment plan, but precision is a must to achieve the desired outcomes and avoid unwanted movement of the respective teeth.

Hi @Dabas_11, thank you for the message, I would hope that this has been completed by now. Please do let us know if there are any further questions.

To address an open bite with increased gingival show, it is recommended to refrain from using elastics if it is feasible. However, if elastics are necessary, you may consider utilizing 5/16" medium-sized elastics. I hope this helps.

We are pleased to hear that you have found this channel helpful. We aim to provide more instructional videos in the future. Stay tunned!

Yes, definitely.

@@cephtacticsdental Could an Oral surgeon do molar uprighting? Could it be done instead of extraction?

Really? If so then that’s awesome! I have a third molar growing in the bottom left corner of my jaw and it’s partially erupted and it’s not very impacted. I just got my braces taken off after 8 years and when I asked my dentist about the tooth, he says I should get it removed before I turn 30 (I just turned 21 so I have some time). The tooth is growing in more, I can feel it. I can also feel the discomfort and pain of biting down on the the gum/tooth (maybe it’s also my molars on my upper jaw coming into contact causing all that traction?) but I hope this is possible to have done.

Hi @user-oo3be5co4o this is a good question. We would advise a wire bending course similar to the one we run and to use a Power Arm rather than a tube. I hope this helps and if you are looking for more support please check out our new clinician support software www.cephtactics-dental.com/cocad

Hi @user-oo3be5co4o, thank you for the message. Many times you will need to use multiple teeth - 4, 5, 6 would be ideal, however, we would recommend using TADs (which are very easy) and means less reciprocal movements. I hope this helps and if you are looking for more support please check out our new clinician support software www.cephtactics-dental.com/cocad

Absolutely, you're correct. Gaps after tooth loss are pretty common, and orthodontic treatment can indeed be pursued at any age. Many countries offer orthodontic interventions even for young children, starting around age 5. It's always a good idea to consult with a local orthodontist for a proper assessment and consultation. They can provide personalized advice based on your situation and guide you towards the appropriate course of action to achieve your desired results. I hope this helps you.

Hi @iqraharoon4106, So teeth typically require around 1 to 3 months to shift and become properly aligned within the dental arch. Thank you for your message and please check out more videos for tips and tricks.

Well, the main wire (base wire) was trimmed specifically for the partial wire technique. This allows the tooth to be tractioned without any hindrance, particularly since the incisal edge of the canine tends to occlude with the wire, impeding further movement into alignment. Trimming the wire allows for smooth traction. If you are uncertain about trimming the wire, you can perform a step up/down or step out (depending on the patient's comfort) on the base wire. I hope this answers your question.

Hi @peugeotpartner8906, thank you for the kind words, please do check out more videos for even more helpful support.

Hi, you can use elastic ligatures, but ideally metal ligature is much better. As the torquing spring is going to use the wire as anchorage, wire can have a bit of play and the spring might not be able to express the force completely. Hence, full ligation of the the wire with metal ligature is better. I hope you find this helpful.

@@cephtacticsdental I really appreciate your kindness Dr. , so grateful, thank you so much. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏

these are more challenging - completely horizontally impacted teeth need high amounts of anchorage, should be done using TADs and should be monitored carefully so as not to open the bite - the issue is always that you do not always have a tooth behind it for support of the wire, so 2 x TADs are better, one in the front, and one in the back

@@rajjabbalI have a wisdom tooth growing in the bottom left corner of my jaw, it’s partially erupted and it is not very impacted. I have photos of my X-rays and I’m trying to see if it can be uprighted because I do not want to remove it unnecessarily.

If you make it identical, it will rub on gingiva as it moves, if you give it tight contacts, then the other teeth will not move. In orthodontics, less trying to make it perfect, more so, tyring to give some aesthetics so as to allow movement.

nice brain, it's for demonstration purposes bro lol

Everyones technique is different. This video is just one of those techniques :)

Yes definitely Amirali. We'll try to make the video for "continuous tie" soon. Till then enjoy the rest of the videos.

Hi Rashid! If you are a patient, it's important to inform your orthodontist so they can provide appropriate advice. If you are a practitioner, it is necessary to either tighten or replace the metal ligature to prevent potential gaps from forming, especially if there is any active mechanism like elastics or powerchain connected to it. I hope this helps.

really? how long did you realize when your pontic was getting wiggily?

@@zomadrl3062 first day

to try an make it more stable, use a rectangular wire (which means you've got to go past the alignment stage) continuous ligature on the top as well as the bottom is better... but still its not a functional tooth.

An overtie is when a long ligature tie is placed over the archwire while an undertie is when the ligature tie is placed under the archwire to prevent a tooth from moving or create space. Overties are commonly preferred for compromised oral hygiene, but cannot be tightened as well as underties and needs to be removed every time the archwire is changed. Underties can keep spaces closed securely and are preferred when changing wires, as they don't need to be replaced each time, but oral hygiene should be monitored. You just need to check if the undertied wire is loose, and if so, tighten it. The choice of technique depends on the specific treatment goals and the individual needs of each patient. We hope this helps.

The base wire is trimmed to provide sufficient clearance for the piggybacked tooth to align without impeding the base wire. This is primarily a matter of individual preference. However, it is essential to note that the base wire must be securely tucked on both sides to prevent wire displacement.
