Clinical tip: Midline Correction with Intermaxillary Elastics｜【Chris Chang Ortho】CC451

[@Formerguineapig]

As a person who is in this procedure to correct midline shifting, it is good to know what my orthodontist is trying to do to correct my midline as I always want him to explain what he is doing and what process I’m in but he’s always in a rush. This helps me a lot. Good to know! Thanks a lot!

[@susianasetiono4912]

Thx Dr Christ Chang for your lesson ❤❤❤

@@ChrisChangOrthosir z shaped elastics alone or in conjunction with posterior class 2 and 3 elastics?

[@sniper117332]

I think, the important moment under such influence is rectangular arcs. It is also necessary to take into account the final molar ratio. The arcs must be fixed to prevent slipping in the grooves. And I do not like clamping hooks.

[@miqueiascardoso6051]

Smart solution. Other possibility its use an elastik from 23 to 43... or a heavier elastic than the other side.

[@hautran5476]

Not good. Incisors are sensitive with direct vertical force. It will cause extrusion.

Bravo! Pure physics 🎉

[@mattie_sizer7187]

How long does it take to be fixed roughly? My teeth are straight and only my centreline is wrong. I’m wearing my elastics daily but they don’t seem to be doing anything. I really want these bad boys off

This is whats happening with me.

[@JerrySmithPersonalPage]

Nice clinical tip, but check the last part of the presentation. I believe the patient's left side should have a Class III elastic instead of a Class II. Let me know if this is correct.

What if its your top teeth that are not centred with the midline of your face but your bottom teeth centreline is? The animation show only if your bottom teeth midline is misaligned

[@chantelh532]

My midline is off like the first patient but my teeth aren’t that flared out I hope my ortho fix this

[@hamadalobaidat8124]

hello dear Doctor hope you are doing great I want to clarify some points if u don't mind dear doctor, 1. The long class 2 elastics in posterior segment + z-shaped will neutralize the effect of clockwise cant rotation ( the moment and force ration in long class 2 elastics produce big moments as u mentioned in the beginning)? why u didn't use only z-shape elastics? 2. the z-shape elastic ( between upper central two opposite forces will equal 0 + on lower canine to premolar will it equal zero? then from 12 teeth distally to lower 33 teeth mesially will act like short class 2 but the force direction is to the upper center of Resistance so will have translation movement of maxilla but due to distance between force and center of resistance on the lower arch will still have some moment right? thank you for your knowledge dear Doctor hope to meet you one day and learn more from you

[@還沒想到-h9r]

good job thank you

[@amyard1871]

I am at the end of my treatment. The Clockwise Rotation U1 Q Loss is what my Dr. is trying to achieve right now. However, I keep trying to tell him that this has only moved my 1st molar, with no movement of the K9 tooth at all. It has not only pulled the molar in towards my tongue, but it also pulled it out some. To the point that I have now grinned down the tooth. I’m starting to lose my patience with my Dr for not listen to me, but now I am mad. What should I do?

[@minimistu]

I have a CLASS II DEEP BITE and my orthodontist has almost concluded my braces journey albeit I still have them on. I have a major midline discrepancy on my bottom teeth and she says it’s normal and can’t really be fixed. I feel very sketchy and want a second opinion. Who should I go to for getting this checked out? Can it be done online by any chance?

Same!!! Update???

[@minimistu]

[@minimistu]

@@Klarisszaivncsk yes but luckily it wasn’t as expensive since I didn’t pay my last instalment at my current ortho so it kind of compensated for that.

[@Klarisszaivncsk]

@@minimistu i called an other ortho and they said they have to take off my braces and put a new one on and pay for it. Lmao. So you didnt have to do this? Did you bring your old papers/x-rays to your new ortho?

[@XRON]

Lol that's exactly how my teeth is

[@hqueen5411]

I had perfectly aligned set, but after completing the treatment ( to push the teeth back), I realize my teeth were no longer aligned. I consulted with the same doctor who did my treatment, about my concern. To this the doctor suggest that the only way to fix this is by pulling out one healthy tooth to have enough space to move teeth for aligning. This video, show there is no need to pull out healthy tooth in order to do the aligning.

[@snapfire3711]

this video is a simplified example to make people understand. not everyone have the same set of teeth. alot of other factors to take into account

[@gdaebb9179]

My orthodontics are so stupid. I have the last case and they put the elastics in the same directions (CII elastics), making the midline even worse. When I told them or recommended to put the elastic in differing directions (CII and CIII), he agreed with me. But now I am worried about my canted smile even becoming worse as I already have right upper teeth more intruded. It is so frustrating. Is it rude If I show them this video?

[@johnh5149]

So... you told/recommended them to do something... and now you’re complaining about your own recommendation??? Maybe stop trying to be the doctor just bc you watched KZbin. Just a suggestion. 😄

[@gdaebb9179]

@@johnh5149 Obviously I missed your reply but listen Sherlock, I was complaining about the risk of occlusal canting as shown in the last case. I am not the orthodontist, they are so When I brought up that my midline is off and advised elastics in different directions to line up the midline, they SHOULD have known about occlusal canting and the elastics SHOULD have been exactly as the last case....NOT just class II and Class III. My upper teeth are concaved in because of that reason now. Ps; after SIX years of braces, I learned the hard way that NOT everyone knows what they are doing and you have to speak up and express your concerns.

[@andrewho6679]

I don't think there is nothing wrong with the final diagram. The LHS should be a C2 Elastic, If you use C3 elastic on LHS you will make the cant worse.

My bottom midline was centered with my top before my braces, now it's moved off to the left and I have a big gap where I didn't have before. I still have two years to go and my orthodontist has said it's part of the process. I hope she's right, but I really don't understand why she would mess up my bottom midline. Is this normal for some people?

[@rienne89]

Hello, I hope your okay,. I ask Kriss Ai about your concerned and it said Midline shifts and the creation of gaps can be a normal part of the orthodontic process. Treatment often involves moving teeth in stages, which might temporarily cause these changes. Trust the process, as these temporary changes are steps toward achieving the final, optimal result. If you have concerns, communicate with your orthodontist for clarification. Remember, the journey may have temporary inconveniences, but the end result is usually well worth it. I hope this help.😊😊

[@annafarr582]

​@@rienne89yes, I'm okay, I hope you're doing well yourself and thank you for responding to my concern. I spoke to my orthodontist this week when I went in to have my wires changed and she said you have to mess up your mouth first in order to correct it. She looked at my midline and said she would be bring it back over in time. Everything right now looks and feels off, I just have to realize that it's the end result that matters.
