[BRACES EXPLAINED] Detailing Wire Bends

Braces Explained: Detailing Wire Bends
In this video, I will be talking about something that you may notice later on in your treatment when you see your orthodontist bending wire. Wire can be bent by orthodontist for a number of reasons but the reason I’m going to discuss in this video is for “finishing and detailing bends.” Braces can be put on as ideally as possible but once all your teeth are lined up, your orthodontist may notice that a few teeth need minor adjustments. Brackets can either be repositioned to achieve the ideal goal or the wire can be bent to achieve the sought after result!
In this video, I discuss two different types of detailing wire bends: a “step” bend and a “z” bend. The example I use in this video is a step-up bend to help a lower premolar that is too intruded be extruded to its ideal position. Also I demonstrate a z-bend on a premolar that is tipped too far forward (or mesial). This will correct the root by moving it more towards the front of the mouth and uprighting the slanted crown

My ortho doesn’t tell me nothing. Thank you for these videos!

[@raecrothers1420]

Mine is also not great about explaining things. He often leaves his assistants do it and they only speak Spanish. My Spanish is very good, but I sometimes only get the big picture. So I understood when I came out yesterday with a bend in my wire that it was to do "something" to my canines. Thanks to this video, now I know they are probably going to be moved downwards. Which explains why I was warned that I was in for a world of hurt in my final weeks of treatment (yep).

[@xxrazberrywolfxx3572]

Bro I’ve had my first wire for my braces on for like 2 years. (I have to get extractions before we move on so that’s why it’s been so long) and 5 hours after I had the braces put on it felt like my teeth were going to fall out. Just pure pain. For the next two weeks my teeth were extremely loose. So I stopped eating as much and lost a few pounds.

[@ClareB78]

I got a new wire put in today and my orthodontist put about 3 bends in the wire (I'm about half way through my treatment). It was so painful after about an hour! My ortho also doesn't really explain things but I can see that one of them is to straighten up a tooth that's tilted to one side. So clever!

[@makeupbyjulie1677]

Thank you! This was so helpful, my ortho bent my top and bottom wire today and wow there’s some pressure

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Right? But pressure means that teeth are moving so that's great! Pretty awesome that you were able to understand what was going on!

[@kierasvidz5018]

Why does it take so long to get braces of And why have I had the same wire for 8 months

[@DrGregAsatrian]

You don't want to move your teeth too fast because that's unhealthy for your teeth and your body! The final wire we work with (that we place these bends in) is used for several months at the end of your treatment!

[@kierasvidz5018]

Dr. Greg Asatrian I’m at the beginning of treatment tho

toykidz they do this to stop your teeth from moving while they’re trying to fix one problem area first. After the problem area is dealt with they’ll change the wire. Hope this helps

I just got my premolars and wisdom teeth extracted (2 premolars at the top, 2 premolars at the bottom, and all four wisdom teeth) on Friday. Now, my orthodontist is finally going to connect the wires through to my back molars (right now they’re only on my front 7 teeth, top and bottom) to fix my protrusion. I said all of that to say, my mouth hurts so bad 😭😂

I’m in like the beginning of my treatment well maybe like 2/6 of the way done, and my orthodontist curved my wires on the bottom teeth what does that mean? I have a deep bite from braces. Also I have elastics but the elastics are just jacking my deep bite bigger?

Thank you for your explanation. I live in france and i have put the brace on for 9 months. I have a teeth which is lower and the premolar is tipped far forward. The orthodontist has not done anything so far to shift that teeth in the straight position and when i asked her she didnot give any well explanation. All what she has done during 9 months were changing the thicker wires / appointment. I have 4 appointments in 9 months. Im réally disappointed. The problem here is that the more the i have to were the brace the more i have to pay. I really want to change to another orthodontist !!!!!

The first time they bent my wires I thought they made a mistake because as I was feeling the wire with my tongue it felt like it was sticking out, so I went back to tell them that the wires are coming off and they told me its suppose to be like that lmao Okay Doc. only if you had just walked me step by step what where you doing to my teeth I wouldn't look so stupid coming in to fix the out-of-place wires LMAO 🤣 what a day 😅

[@Daniela-qs2qf]

Why do some orthodontists put ceramic braces only on your top teeth?

[@DrGregAsatrian]

Ceramic braces can chip easier and wear down your teeth when you bite AGAINST them. Since your upper brackets dont grind against your lower teeth, your doc may put it only on the top && since our bottom brackets sometimes touch the back of your upper teeth, you may have some wear of your upper teeth AND/OR chipping of your lower brackets. Hope that makes some sense. Also since your lower teeth aren't as visible when you smile! =]

[@Daniela-qs2qf]

Dr. Greg Asatrian that does make sense, i recently got them and was wondering that, thanks 😁

[@Geronimomaui2]

Dr. Greg, can you do a video about repo (repositioning) appointments, what's involved, and how an orthodontist uses a pano x-ray for determining the repositioning? I've had Damon braces for well over a year now, and my dear friend, who is an orthodontics professor across the country, has been telling me from early on that many of my brackets were not in the correct positions and encouraging me to ask my orthodontist to reposition them immediately. My orthodontist disagreed, saying that with Damon braces, repositioning is only done in the second year after the scheduled pano, even though at the same time he wondered why my progress was so slow (my professor friend said, "it's because you need repo!!"). At my last appointment, my orthodontist finally did the second pano x-ray in preparation for repositioning my brackets, so I'm curious to see how many brackets will be repositioned and how. In the meantime, can you explain why orthodontists do detailed wire bends instead of just repositioning the bracket on the tooth in question? Thank you for all that you do!

[@angeliqueesprit8674]

I have a slight bend on the top front teeth wire. I thought it was an accident done at ortho!😁😆

[@Sky22_00]

This is my third time getting braces and I’m really not happy with my orthodontist and my results and I think it’s so unfair that they charge me for emergency visits just because I’m picky about the placement of my teeth and sometimes my orthodontist bends my wires in a way that makes me teeth crooked just because he’s too busy to reposition my brackets. I called them a few days ago to schedule an extra appointment and they said I come in too much and I have to wait for my appointment in a rude tone. Like I’m paying a lot of money for this service and I deserve to walk out happy with my results.

Thanks for this very helpful video doc, but I've wondered after watching this video, what happens when someone has a tooth that's actually higher than the other teeth. How do orthodontist go about fixing that issue?

[@DrGregAsatrian]

There are a few different ways but usually by using a shape memory wire (check out my video on NiTi wires)

[@bezeebee]

Dr. Greg Asatrian thank you for responding (^_^) I actually already watched that video. I may have watched all your videos already lol. My question was just out of curiosity after watching your vid (and know of persons with the issue), but ironically I've realized that my Ortho inadvertently did a step up treatment on my lower incisors and cuspids in an attempt to correct protruding teeth with the aid of elastics. I really hope he can fix it; as my lower arch now resembles ascending steps....

[@EvermoreisTimeless]

It’s weird cause I hat detailing like 3 months ago so I thought I was almost done but at my appointment today he said I’m very close and he will do detailing in 4 weeks... I don’t know what to think anymore

[@elevenbyfive]

Is it difficult to be accurate when you bend a wire? Like how do you know exactly how much to bend it and exactly what angle? Is there much margin for error - i mean can you get it within a range of accuracy or do you have to be super precise for it to look ok?

[@Sky22_00]

It is difficult because sometimes my orthodontist bends the wire a little too much pushing a certain tooth inward more than it needs to be

[@jessicadurke8197]

I've had some bends put in my wires today to bring one of my top teeth down and amazingly my tooth is already where it needs to be, if not a little too far past the other tooth now. It also seems like the way the wire has been bent, its forcing the tooth backwards too, so they're no longer super straight. Should this correct itself or is this something the ortho will have to address at my next appointment?

[@franciscampos6122]

it’s been about 10 hours since my orthodontist put a step up wire in, and my tooth has been pulled out to a point that it looks over-adjusted. is this normal? (top front left tooth)

[@mtshyna]

I’m convinced at this point this is like sorcery 😂 lol but for real this is intense knowledge understanding all of this
