DIY Braces

[@daveheel]

here's an idea. why not make orthodontics more affordable so people don't have to resort to such drastic measures that could harm themselves?

[@1xalexct444]

daveheel well it's people fault for doing it

[@popis3493]

the problem is that the whole material the dentists need for braces is very expensive by itself.

[@daveheel]

Miss Marina of course and that is why if the orthos don't want people to go this route they can have more affordable rates.

[@iamshamarbutler3288]

+Mariivoire Well, the problem is Europe has a good health care program but they pay hella taxes for it. It's not the orthodontist problem they have to make a living to. If I went to school and work hella hard to get in a dental school (very competitive) I'm not lowering my cost. My family plus workers depend on the tuition.

[@iamshamarbutler3288]

+Mariivoire my guess is you never had braces! On the first appointment I got an mold this is the catch when I got my mold they choose which kind on braces I would need. which was Traditional and Damon brackets (braces). On the second appointment I got them in thanks god I didn't need spacers in was just the amount of room they needed. They put them in! they glue the brackets and place the wire but they also puts this gray think that is on one of you molder teeth which I hate. The reason braces are expensive is because of length of treatment. The tooth can only move slowly and a applied with little pressure.

[@iamshamarbutler3288]

Yeah but that rubber band doesn't know what straight teeth look like. Braces are places in exact point son teeth with exact tension so they look straight after treatment. A rubber band? That will be moving up and down and will just leave gaps in other areas. Anyway, after you get braces, you get a retainer, because after you remove that pressure from the teeth (for example, a rubber band), they move back to place very quickly.

Guys teeth are inside your hard bone. Using such unatural forces can later cause a condition called periodontitis.

Using rubber bands use excessive force causing resorption of bone

[@ambrid5837]

I don't hear a single dentist saying "If you need help with your teeth come in and we'll fix them for what you can afford" of course their reaction is against it because they're losing money. that's the only thing dentists care about money. just like the implant movement.. it's an outrageously priced devastating to your jaw and health and you can't find a dentist in America that doesn't push you to get implants as soon as you have a cavity. the dentist almost lost their mind a year ago when the administration tried to put dental into Medicare.. I guess the dentist were concerned that old people wouldn't get proper care if Medicare was paying for it..

[@PlagueRavenRX]

Orthodontists: People are making DIY braces because real ones are too expensive! Let's make a PSA about rubber bands, that should help.

As a person with braces- this makes my teeth hurt

[@7.2kviews15]

I did this to my two front teeth three years ago. I was really insecure about myself having a gap. So one day, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I took some unused miniature hair rubber bands. I crossed the bands over my two front teeth. I did this same thing everyday for at least two weeks. I thought I fixed the problem, but I made it worse. My gap dissapeared, but my two front teeth are now semi crossed over. I deeply regret this descion... Moral of the story, do not be a fool, and if you are insecure, talk to someone.

I also closed my gap with rubber bands because I thought that the price tag was going to be enormeous. But at the end I heard that in my country the price was all right for normal braces. I even made a video about this issue on my KZbin channel!

can rubber band damag our teeth i put it on my teeth about 2 days and it is remove the gap little bit but plz tell me that it is right or not plz plz plz what the defect will be happen with my teeth using rubber band?

[@hotpotato1898]

Um don't use rubber bands to bring your teeth closer together, the rubber bands can work their way up in your mouth and damage the bone, leading to your teeth falling out. They said that in the video ;^;

Why are braces so expensive, though? It was almost 1K for my little palatal expander and it's literally just a piece of metal that holds onto my teeth and turns? Not to forget the stupid plastic expanders they put in before, that were almost 700. Orthodontics is literally just pieces of flimsy metal that they charge way to much for.

Braces in my eyes are a luxury. The orthodontist are professionals for a reason. I would honestly be scared to put anything in my mouth like rubber bands for a diy type of job.
