Hey Dr. Greg. I have a question. Why do some people have braces on the back and not on the front?
@nettieclouse97505 жыл бұрын
Dr. Greg - what are your thoughts on mail order retainers? I have seen that there are companies that you can go through to get Hawley retainers. I'm a long time wearer (22 years now) of this type but I do not have a orthodontist. My husband and i move a fair ammount making it a bit difficult to keep one specific orthodontist. I still wear my original top one but it is unfortunately chipping away arround the edges now and my bottom one I no longer have (I misplaced it after I had dental work done and it did not fit after the work was done) if I had a bottom one I for sure would wear it! Thank you for your insight and help on this!

Hi! I have my retainer for over a year now but it's loose and one of my front teeth kind of forwarded leaving a big gap from the rest, i never took off my retainer except when eating and brushing. Sadly i am a bit far from my orthodentist. Is it possible to adjust the retainer from other orthodentist? Thanks!

DogefulSquisher those are deposits of calcium and it usually happens when your teeth are not being brushed throughly. This can happen with braces because it can be hard to get a thorough job.

Anoronix when you get your braces off and don’t wear the retainer like you’re supposed to you will find the retainer will eventually not fit. Although it may look like the teeth haven’t moved, they would have slightly. I guess it also depends on the straightness of the teeth prior to braces as crooked teeth are going to want to go to their original positioning.

I got it in writing that my retainer would be included, only to later be told only the clear ones were included and that I need the Hawley for settling my bite and a nightguard. They requested $400 additional for Hawley and $400 for night guard. :(

I've always wondered this and would love an answer: I've heard that long-term braces wear (like 5 years) can lead to root resorption. I'm assuming that in the end stages of such a long wear time, there isn't so much force on the teeth like in the beginning. So what is the major difference between long term braces wear and life-long retainer wear that doesn't lead to root resorption over time?
@DrGregAsatrian5 жыл бұрын
With having braces on there is always minor forces that are constantly causing movements because even when you move 1 or 2 teeth, the rest of the teeth feel a force because they are used as an anchor for that movement! With retainers, we are not trying to "move" teeth but hold them. I hope that somewhat answered your question!

I have lingual permanent retainers in my upper teeth, lower teeth and have upper and lower Hawley retainers. I don't floss since every time I do, there's a hole between my teeth, even sometimes brushing causes a small gap to appear in some areas. My ortho told me the Hawley will help bring my bite together but it's been nearly 3 months and nothing :( as always, thanks for the vid dr.greg :)

For permanent retainers that run along the tongue side I do suggest you guys use a water pik or water flosser. It gets the job done-they’re a little more expensive that your average thread. It works great for me.

Ok here’s a question if we gotta wear a retainer to keep teeth used to they new placement why not keep the braces on for another year or so without adjustments instead of retainers🧐
@Jewol3 жыл бұрын
Braces would still cause force on the teeth and may even move them too far past where they need to be, as well as weakening the teeth and making it harder to clean them for an extra year!

I have a question What is the difference between metal brackets and the clear brackets?
@elinrefetova60315 жыл бұрын
Jake Leach The difference is their appearance and their material. They do the same job, it’s just that metal are made of metal and they are more visible while clear (don’t know what they are made of) aren’t really visible. Don’t hate me if I’m wrong, that’s just what I learned from a lot of braces videos 😂

@elenajewel35 жыл бұрын
Jake Leach fat opinion: don’t get the porcelain brackets!! I’ve had braces for 6 years (get them off in 5 days🤪) and I’ve had the porcelain ones for roughly 3 years. They break super easily and make it harder to remove them. They do work just as well, but they aren’t honestly worth the couple extra bucks.
