For everyone who is getting these/recently got these, it’s really not as bad as you think! All the other comments are saying how terrible they are, but once you have them for about a week (or even less) they just become a part of ur mouth and you can’t tell they’re there. I know your teeth won’t be able to touch, but the turbo bites can act as teeth and chew for you. Just remember, as bad as Turbo bites might seem at the moment, they’ll get better and they help speed up your teeth situation, the result will be worth it! I hope I helped 👍👍

I can’t bite into things with my front teeth, I can’t grind food with my back teeth (only between the bite pads) and I can’t “feel” the food because the bite pads have no nerves like my teeth do.

Secondly, I'll share my story with the bite turbos I have... which are not exactly bite turbos, but similar. They feel quite big and pointy on the back of my front teeth and they challenged me at the beginning because they affected my speech in the first days and they are also stopping my molars from touching so I cannot properly chew much. At the beginning this was very difficult, especially due to the unexpected nature of this. Still, I was surprised how quickly I got used to them once I understood what I have to do to adapt, like the kind of foods I can eat. I was feeling frustrated because I wanted to still enjoy a variety of foods and I fell quite self-conscious about the way I was speaking, but I learned to focus on what I still find enjoyable and guess what... cake is super easy to eat even with those and they are a great excuse to indulge :))). Wish you all an easy braces experience and whenever you feel down about the discomfort, just take a look in the mirror and realize that even as you stay and do nothing, your teeth are moving into the right position and it totally pays off :D:D:D!

Awesome video Dr. Grey. I have bite turbos for two reasons, one to bring the maxillary right second molar forward a little and secondly to bring the maxillary right canine forward which is way very backward, which looks very bad. I just got that backward canine tooth bonded to the bracket and tied to the archwire with a long metallic ligature, which is there to pull it forward. Initially I felt like the ligature is really working good because of the pressure, but that pressure just faded away after a few days and now I don't feel any pressure of being pulled, so it feels like the tooth movement has stopped & it is going to take many days to come forward...huhh. Sorry for the long narration. I am sure I don't feel any pressure because I got used to it. I would like to know how these bite turbos are removed at the end? Also would like to know the types of archwires, viz. Ti-Ni, SS, Beta chromium, etc. and their respective mechanism. As the Ti-Ni and Beta chromium wires are heat activated, their mechanism can be understood, but how does the SS wire work? I am really curious to know that. Thank you so much for your great videos. You don't know how excited I am always to see your videos, as they really get me acquainted with this magical orthodontic treatment.

Dr Greg hey there, please tell me if i use molar tubes intead of molar bands, is it a good idea? i feel like molar tubes will be more comfortable to the patient, but i dont knw its disadvantages over molar bands
@DrGregAsatrian6 жыл бұрын
Hi Dr, the main disadvantage of tubes over bands is retention. There is a higher chance of debond on molar tubes than bands but I too agree that they are more hygienic and comfortable for patients

Hi!! Super late to the game.. but, i got braces on October of 2019 and had my bite bumpers applied probably just a few weeks after because I have a pretty deep bite. So, I’ve had my bite bumpers on for a WHILE already.. they’re on my bottom premolars, and just this week the left side has become so unbearably sore and painful to touch. That poor premolar is miserable and so am I. My question is, is this something to be of concern? Should I see my ortho?? Or is this random awful, terrible, sensitive soreness normal after a couple months???

Hi Dr.Greg love your video all the time. If bite turbo is on the specific tooth, wouldn't the tooth be intruded? go inside?
@DrGregAsatrian5 жыл бұрын
That's a great question! Usually when all the teeth are in braces, the tooth with the turbos wont be intruded because the whole arch is serving as one. Also, it takes a very consistent force to intrude a tooth and usually you are not biting on your turbo all day!

I have a deep bite and got Incognito lingual braces, so bite turbos were non-negotiable for me. However, since they are part of the custom brackets (check out how incognito works) they are manufactured based on your actual teeth shape and they are not uncomfortable at all. They've actually improved my occlusion and I can feel my TMJ is less engaged than before. Give it time and you will get used to them.

Do posterior and anterior turbos do different things? I’ve just got an anterior turbo put on and I’m really struggling with the pressure of my entire bite being on only one tooth, as well as my back teeth are so far apart, I have zero chewing surface, my bite is about 1cm apart. I can only eat mashed potatoes, soup and yogurt. The lisp is also driving me crazy, I’m a teacher and part-time singing teacher as well as recording songs as a hobby and it’s ruining everything, I’m really starting to wonder if this whole braces thing is worth it. Could they switch to turbos on the back teeth or do they do a different job?

Thank you for the very detailed video!! I got my braces last month and had to unfortunately get bite turbos on my back molars because I have an overbite. I was originally supposed to just get my bottom braces first, then my top braces after my overbite has been corrected. I chose to get bite turbos instead to speed up the treatment time but man it sucked so bad in the beginning!! LOL. I got a lisp and don’t even get me started with the difficulty I had with eating 🤣 All is well now, a month later I’m very used to it.. I just chew much much slower now. The only dislike I currently have is the changes it had on my jaw and facial structure. My face looks a lot longer than usual and my jaw feels a little sore sometimes and I think its because I’m unable to fully close my jaw (I can barely smile with my lips fully closed!). Do you think this is just temporary and it’ll eventually go back to normal Doc? Thanks for your input!!

I had to get them cause I have a cross bite. They don't necessarily hurt, it would be hard to know the difference anyway, but they make it where I can't really use my back teeth to chew. I've just learned to eat things that can be swallowed. Mine are tooth colored.

Hi doc. I got braces 3 days ago but only on my upper teeth since they overlap my lower teeth. My ortho said I have to wait a couple of months before they put braces on my lower teeth. So I'm now seeing this video and wondering why my ortho didn't mention bite turbos. Are they always necessary?
@airxraftsaimm61966 жыл бұрын
Terryann Floyd i know im not a doc but i have the same case. I been told that your lower teeth cure faster than the upper ones and they place the braces on the upper arch so that you have less pain to deal with. Also if your teeth a super crowded bite turbos might not work so well i suppose

Sometimes we have a lot more work to do in 1 arch compared to the other so we don't want to keep you in braces forever in the other arch. That may be why your doc only put them on your front teeth for now and will start with your lower teeth once he/she expects there will be = amount of time left on the top and bottom =] Hope that helps! Great discussion you guys! 👍
@santa15636 жыл бұрын
I also only got my top brackets initially. the bottom edge of my top row of teeth completely cover my bottom teeth and then continue nearly halfway down my gums. my ortho was hoping to open up the top arch so that he could fit brackets on the bottom without hitting any teeth but after two months that wasn’t the case. I actually had to fight a bit to have them apply my bottom brackets because they didn’t want to give me bite turbos since they can be uncomfortable, especially in my case. and they definitely were at first because of the big gap between my bite but I’ve gotten used to them a bit more. some foods are really hard to chew. mine are on my front teeth and give me a bit of a lisp also.
@privshek5 жыл бұрын
How do bite turbos impact teeth? I mean, when you have teeth filling (on the upper tooth, for example) which is made too big/high it can cause a trauma to the other tooth while you are chewing. And, is it bad if your bite turbos are placed on numbers 24 and 25 but half placed on teeth, half on your palate? I mean, because of skin on palate, or can bacteria somehow go between the bite turbo and palate?
