Hello Dr. Greg!! I've been having my braces on since 2017 and had a lower incisor extracted and i had to leave my home city due to studies. But the gap didn't close up as i didn't go to another orthodontist for around 5 months. This January i went to an orthodontist and i had power chains and they closed within a month! I was so glad! And i have one upper incisor which is a little bit slanted and my doctor used a steel ligature on it. Now it's April and i have to go home by the end of the month. I have power chains on my upper teeth even though i have no gaps on it? And my doctor said he'll be removing my braces on the 17th of this month. I'm a little bit concerned because my mother was scared that he is rushing the treatment and that they will be removed before time; and i have to pay him for retainers which could be another reason why he'd be doing that. Can you please give me an advice? I am very worried and confused. Thank you for the awesome videos! I binged a lot >

I currently have braces and i enjoy watching your videos! They are really informative and helpful i also want to be an ortho like you in the future but one question do orthos do surgery?

We don't do surgeries but work with our colleagues to prescribe surgeries. Prior to becoming an orthodontist, you must be a dentist and have to perform dental and gum surgeries to become a dentist! I will definitely explain the process of becoming an orthodontist in a future video!
